Nursing Homes in your area

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.

Three things worth knowing first

• Medicare may cover a short rehab stay after a qualifying inpatient hospital admission, but it does not pay for long-term custodial nursing care.
• Nursing facilities are the one senior care category with federal CMS Care Compare star ratings, in addition to Wisconsin's own DHS survey and inspection record.
• Wisconsin's 2024 CareScout state median was $120,815/yr for a semi-private room and $135,050/yr for a private room, both above the national medians — note that a semi-private figure is often Medicaid-weighted and lower than a private-pay quote you receive.
