Watertown Health Care Center is a nursing home in Watertown, WI offering skilled nursing, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site for residents with ongoing medical needs, while hospice and palliative care focus on comfort and support during serious illness.

Short term rehabilitation is available for someone rebuilding strength or function after an illness, injury, or hospital stay, and respite care offers a temporary stay when a usual caregiver needs time away.

Total nurse staffing is 2h 53m per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time assigned to each resident. Payment options include Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
