St. Paul Elder Services, Inc. is a Catholic, Franciscan-sponsored nonprofit senior care community located in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, in Outagamie County. The organization offers a comprehensive, mission-driven continuum of care that includes assisted living, memory care, long-term skilled nursing, rehabilitation therapy, hospice, adult day services, and in-home non-medical care — making it one of the more versatile senior service providers in the region. The facility is owned by St. Paul Elder Services Inc. and administered by Megan Mashl, operating 105 licensed skilled nursing beds.
St. Paul Elder Services accepts Medicare and provides 24-hour staffing and skilled nursing, along with rehabilitation and respite care services. Its Franciscan faith-based sponsorship is reflected in the facility’s emphasis on dignity, compassionate care, and holistic well-being. Volunteer programs and regular religious services are available, serving residents for whom spiritual life and community are meaningful components of quality care.
The facility distinguishes itself with a notably strong amenity profile: restaurant-style meal service prepared by a trained chef, on-site chapel, beauty salon, library, community living spaces, and full housekeeping, laundry, and linen services. Utilities are included, which provides cost predictability for long-term residents. Pets are welcome, adding to the community’s warmth and livability. The facility is open to visitors and family during standard hours Monday through Friday and select Saturday hours.
St. Paul Elder Services is best suited for older adults and their families who value a mission-driven, faith-inspired environment where clinical care and personal dignity are treated as equally important. Its breadth of services — from adult day programs to hospice — means that residents can age in place without needing to transfer to another organization as needs evolve. Families looking for a nonprofit, community-rooted senior care provider in northeastern Wisconsin will find St. Paul Elder Services to be a compelling and well-rounded option.
Data Notes for Review: Detailed CMS star ratings were not available in the source data and should be reviewed on the CMS Care Compare database. Specific assisted living pricing and availability were not listed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / day | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
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.
| 1h 0m per day | ▲ 3% State avg: 58m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
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.
| 33m per day | ▼ 13% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 3h 7m per day | ▲ 21% State avg: 2h 35m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 4h 24m per day | ▲ 18% State avg: 3h 43m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 7m per day | ▲ 75% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 51m per day | ▲ 27% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
