Overview of St. Mary’s Care Center

St. Mary’s Care Center provides nursing home, skilled nursing, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care in Madison, WI. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Hospice and palliative care focus on comfort and symptom management for people with serious or advanced illness, while respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs time away.

The range of care types can suit a resident whose needs change over time. The home has 184 beds and a 60% occupancy rate, so its current resident census is below its full bed capacity.

Total nurse staffing is 4 hours 46 minutes per resident per day. That represents the daily nursing time available for each resident across the home. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted: Medicare may help cover eligible short term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can matter when personal savings may not cover a long stay, and private pay allows care to be funded directly.
