Overview of Shady Lane Nursing Care Center

Owned by Shady Lane Inc, Shady Lane Nursing Care Center is a nursing home in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Rehabilitation and short-term recovery are major areas of focus. For people recovering from surgery or a hospital stay and needing skilled nursing care, the 50-bed facility may be a great option. Residents stay an average of about 65 days, which includes post-acute rehabilitation patients and residents who continue to need nursing support beyond the recovery period.

The community has 78% occupancy, with 39 of its 50 beds filled. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to arrange coverage for either short-term rehabilitation or longer-term care. The facility is led by Shady Lane Inc. Staffing is maintained around the clock to support resident care across all shifts.

A key part of the facility is its nursing support. Residents receive an average of 5 hours and 1 minute of nursing care each day. Registered nurses provide 1 hour and 15 minutes of care. Nurse aides contribute 3 hours and 5 minutes. LPN/LVN staff provide another 50 minutes daily. Together, those staffing levels support personal care, medication assistance, medical oversight, and everyday needs.

Inspection findings over recent years have varied. Some survey cycles had no deficiencies. Others identified concerns involving fall prevention, medication monitoring, infection control practices, and staff communication procedures. A complaint investigation found that a resident’s family member was not notified promptly about worsening health concerns. Families touring the facility may want to ask how these areas are handled in their operations.

Manitowoc has a Walk Score of 75, so the surrounding area is quite walkable for most errands. Visiting family members may find the neighborhood easy to navigate. The facility’s location near downtown and other local services is accessible for residents and visitors.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.

LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 50m per day ▲ 32% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 1h 17m per day ▲ 97% State avg: 39m per day · National avg: 29m per day
