Complete Care at Jefferson Meadows LLC

1414 Jefferson St., Baraboo, WI 53913

Complete Care at Jefferson Meadows LLC shows a puzzling split, delivering strong resident outcomes on measures like falls and skin health while grappling with a low health inspection score and significant staff turnover. You can press the call button at 2 AM and someone is actually coming, thanks to registered nurse coverage well above the national average, and the staff are adept at preventing skin breakdown, as shown by a bedsore rate under half the national median.

Lake Mills Health Services

901 MULBERRY ST, LAKE MILLS, WI 53551

Lake Mills Health Services shows a solid 4.0-star health inspection score and strong staffing, but medication patterns raise questions. Registered nurse hours are significantly above the national average, meaning complex medical changes are more likely to be caught before they become emergencies.
