Nazareth Health and Rehabilitation Center

Nazareth Health and Rehabilitation Center has room for 99 residents and gives care twenty-four hours a day, with skilled nurses like RN, LPN, and CNA on staff, and they help people with both long-term nursing and short-term rehabilitation needs, so folks can stay there as they get older and even stay through the end of life with hospice care. The facility lets residents get Covid and flu shots, and they welcome visitors with pets if the animals are vaccinated and on a leash, which brightens things up for everyone, and for folks who just need a short break there's respite care in a semi-private room, which starts at $320 a day with a seven-day minimum and $10,000 payment up front. The staff uses a hands-on approach to care and takes their time helping with things like medication management, occupational and physical therapy, and they give people support from groups like ADRC, MyChoice, ICARE, and Community Care to help make moving in a bit easier, plus new folks get help settling in. Residents can rely on food prepared in the kitchen - meals come to rooms or the dining hall three times daily, along with snacks, and the cooks try to make sure everything is tasty and fits different diets, though there have been some past inspection notes about temperature and taste, so they keep working on that. There's a focus on comfort, with semi-private suites, WiFi, a big therapy gym, on-site beauty salon and barbershop, and a schedule full of activities, crafts, social mixers, seasonal events, and time for meeting new friends, which makes the days more engaging. The team includes an executive director, nurses, and social workers, and they say they try hard to respond quickly if a resident has a complaint or concern. Nazareth's nurse turnover rate is about 59.8%, higher than the state's average, but they do have more nurse hours per resident than average, about 4.36 per day, and there's always medical help close by, especially for folks recovering from injuries, surgeries, or health issues. The place runs under the ownership of Snj Wisconsin Llc (60%) and Eef Capital Llc (40%), and it became affiliated with Complete Care. There are policies and protocols to help prevent infections, and while inspection reports have listed some issues on infection control and quality of life, the staff says they keep working to make improvements. Residents have access to rehabilitation services, therapy, social services to help with daily life, and care programs tailored to individual needs. The Center is built for folks who need full-time help with health or daily tasks and offers a community setting that tries to feel welcoming and supportive, even though it's had to deal with some challenges and ongoing improvements.
