Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Wisconsin
Wisconsin's Care Compare directory includes 323 CMS-certified nursing homes, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The statewide average overall rating stands at 3.0 of 5 stars. The directory displays each facility's overall rating alongside separate scores for health inspections and staffing, providing a snapshot of comparative performance across the state.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure with documented limitations. The ratings shown reflect data current as of May 2026 and should not be construed as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. The star rating represents one factor among many that prospective residents and their families should consider when evaluating a nursing home. Location, the specific type of care required, an in-person visit, and direct conversations with facility staff and clinical providers all play important roles in the decision-making process. Individuals should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making reliance on the data for significant care decisions.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.

Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here.
