A skilled nursing facility provides 24-hour licensed nursing care and is regulated under a separate Wisconsin rule chapter from the community-based settings above (Wisconsin Admin. Code ch. DHS 132, rather than the CBRF/RCAC/adult family home chapters). Two different populations often live under the same roof: short-term rehab patients and long-term residents.

The Franklin market specifically
Franklin is largely single-family housing, and families here often compare options across Franklin, Oak Creek and Greenfield interchangeably rather than treating each suburb as a separate search area.
Because Franklin borders both Milwaukee and Waukesha counties, families here sometimes end up comparing options as far afield as Muskego, not just the closer Milwaukee County suburbs.
Who is actually on shift
Ask how many caregivers and med aides are on the floor at 3 a.m., not the building-wide daytime ratio. Ask what happens when someone calls in sick, and whether the community uses agency staff to fill gaps.
Ask how long the administrator has been in post. Turnover at the top is one of the better predictors of turnover below it.
