Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Wisconsin
Wisconsin is home to 323 CMS-certified nursing homes registered in the Care Compare directory, 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 Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure with acknowledged limitations. The ratings presented here reflect the data as of May 2026 and should not be interpreted as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. The Five-Star system represents one factor among many that merit consideration when evaluating a nursing home. Location, the type of specialized care required, an in-person facility visit, and direct conversations with clinical and administrative staff all play important roles in the decision-making process.
Each facility in this directory is listed with its overall rating alongside separate star ratings for health inspections and staffing quality, providing a multifaceted view of performance across key domains. Prospective residents and their families should verify each facility's current rating directly on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making decisions based on this information.
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.
