52 ‘Worst’ Nursing Homes

The U.S. Government released a list of the 52 worst nursing homes in the nation according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.  The government says the list should provide U.S. consumers with new information when choosing a home.  The list was released because a number of facilities were consistently providing poor quality of care, yet make enough changes to pass government surveys only to fail the next.

Here’s a quick guide to reading the list: 

• Table A – New Additions to the list 
• Table B – Not Improved
• Table C – Improving
• Table D – Recently Graduated
• Table E – No longer in Medicare and Medicaid

Notice there are 4 Wisconsin long-term care facilities on the lists. 

• Luther Home in Marinette – Table B
• Columbus Nursing & Rehabilitation in Columbus – Table C
• Middleton Village in Middleton – Table C
• Willows Nursing & Rehab in Sun Prairie – Table C
