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.
This home is ranked 123rd out of 172 homes in Wisconsin. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | 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.
| 32m per day | ▼ 45% 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.
| 55m per day | ▲ 45% 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.
| 2h 12m per day | ▼ 15% State avg: 2h 35m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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.
| 3h 22m per day | ▼ 9% 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.
| 2m per day | ▼ 50% 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.
| 25m per day | ▼ 36% State avg: 39m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on September 30, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies related to resident safety, abuse prevention, environmental cleanliness, timely therapy services, and pest control, including an immediate jeopardy that was removed after corrective actions. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues involving care planning, medication management, infection control, supervision, and documentation, with several substantiated complaint investigations addressing medication errors, resident falls, abuse incidents, and inadequate grievance follow-up. Inspectors cited recurring themes of inadequate supervision, failure to prevent or investigate abuse, delayed or incomplete treatment for wounds and pressure injuries, and lapses in infection prevention practices. Complaint investigations were mostly substantiated, with notable findings including a resident fall causing significant injury and multiple abuse incidents on the dementia unit.
