The community is privately owned and administered by Carla Hutter. The facility holds a 4-star CMS rating. Since 2022, it has completed 3 Health Inspections, resulting in 9 total citations, ranking 26th out of 174 Wisconsin SNFs — well below the state’s average of 27.3 citations per facility. All citations were of moderate severity; no critical or serious findings. No federal penalties have been imposed in the past three years. CMS Quality Measures rate long-stay performance above average and short-stay performance significantly above average statewide, with hospitalization rates running 35% below the Wisconsin mean. Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 44 minutes per resident per day, drawn from a permanent team of 56 licensed and certified nursing staff — RNs, LPNs, and CNAs — all employees rather than contractors. Contractor support covers therapy and social work roles. Rehabilitation services include physical, occupational, and respiratory therapy aides, with a resident council and an on-site nurse aide training program rounding out the care infrastructure. Amenities include private rooms, an outdoor patio, a recreational lounge, and chef- and dietician-directed menus. The facility’s current occupancy rate is 81% — 11 percentage points above the Wisconsin average. Payer mix skews toward Medicaid (32%) and Medicare (39%), with a 2023 average length of stay of nearly 205 days — a blend that reflects both post-acute and longer-term residents. The facility’s 58.9% successful return-to-community rate exceeds the Wisconsin average of 50.6%, a meaningful marker of short-stay rehabilitation outcomes. Plum City Care Center suits older adults in Pierce County seeking skilled nursing or short-term post-acute rehabilitation in a small, privately operated community with a consistent record of compliance.
