Overview of Shell Lake Health Care Center

Owned by Jonathon Hansen, Shell Lake Health Care Center is a nursing home in Shell Lake, Wisconsin. Its location on County Highway B has a Walk Score of 47. It serves residents who need skilled nursing support and therapy services within a smaller community setting. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted, giving families several options for covering both rehabilitation stays and longer-term care.

The 50-bed facility has been operating for six years, with 82% occupancy. Residents stay an average of 107 days, which reflects the home’s focus on post-acute rehabilitation for people recovering from surgery, injury, or hospitalization, along with residents who require ongoing skilled nursing care. Total nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 54 minutes per resident each day. Hands-on support and daily monitoring are an important part of the care structure.

Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy are available on-site. General rehabilitation services are also offered. Families who need temporary placement can access respite care. The facility provides IV therapy for residents who require intravenous medications or nutrition. Long-term nursing care is available for residents who require care beyond the rehabilitation stage.

Its smaller size means residents can expect a quieter setting. The neighborhood’s modest walkability means some nearby destinations may be accessible. However, traveling is easier by car. The community’s focus on rehabilitation and ongoing nursing support is best suited for residents working toward recovery, stability, or longer-term care needs.

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. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 42m per day ▼ 27% State avg: 58m per day · National avg: 41m per day
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. 47m per day ▲ 23% 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. 29m per day ▼ 28% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 28m per day
