Dove Healthcare - Superior

Dove Healthcare - Superior is a senior living and health care facility in Superior, Wisconsin, that offers a wide range of services with 118 certified beds, though usually about 69 residents stay there each day, and you'll find it's part of a larger group with locations across Wisconsin, where they focus on things like skilled nursing, memory care, end-of-life care, rehabilitation, and assisted living, even having their own names for some living areas like Settlers' Trail for independent living and several assisted living residences, each with its own name for places in other towns. Staff offer 24/7 nursing with a mix of skilled nurses and certified nursing assistants and work with doctors, therapy, nutrition, social services, and recreation teams, aiming to cover every aspect of care, whether someone needs help recovering from a hospital stay or requires more support for ongoing needs, and they run specialized programs for things like wound care, ventilator and tracheostomy care, and help people return home after rehab whenever possible, though nurse staffing is a bit lower than the state's average at 3.37 hours per resident per day, and nurse turnover in the past year was nearly complete, which means new faces are common. The place has comfortable areas for therapy and everyday activities, spaces to gather, and accommodations meant to boost comfort and mobility, with attention given to personal goals and well-being, but it does have a notable inspection record with 57 documented deficiencies over time, including several violations about infection control and a recent citation for not making sure a licensed pharmacist reviewed medications every month, leaving some risk for more than minimal harm even though no actual harm was found. Still, they stress things like compassion, respect, choice, and teamwork, they seek to build a supportive environment, and they regularly host activities like "Better Brain Fridays," summer concerts outdoors, and fundraisers for resident councils, so there's community life along with health care. Amenities aim to help seniors feel at home, and families find a variety of care that includes help with memory issues, short-term rehab, and support for those with higher care needs near the end of life, but if you look up state documents, you'll see there's always room for improvement when it comes to staffing consistency and infection controls. Dove Healthcare - Superior keeps a focus on supporting both residents and team members, and it's growing across Wisconsin as of March 2024 since merging with Dove Healthcare.
