LINDENGROVE MUKWONAGO
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Lindengrove Mukwonago has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is slightly above average but not exceptional. It ranks #154 out of 321 nursing homes in Wisconsin, placing it in the top half, and #5 out of 17 in Waukesha County, meaning only four local facilities are considered better. The facility's performance trend is stable, with five issues reported in both 2024 and 2025. Staffing is a positive aspect, with a 4 out of 5 star rating and better RN coverage than 84% of Wisconsin facilities, although the turnover rate is 57%, which is average. There have been no fines, but there are concerning issues; for instance, food was not prepared in a sanitary manner, and there were delays in reporting incidents of resident injuries, suggesting some lapses in care protocols.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Lindengrove Mukwonago?

"Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate.
Is Lindengrove Mukwonago Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, LINDENGROVE MUKWONAGO has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes).

Do Nurses at Lindengrove Mukwonago Stick Around?
Staff turnover at LINDENGROVE MUKWONAGO is high. At 57%, the facility is 11 percentage points above the Wisconsin average of 46%. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Lindengrove Mukwonago Ever Fined?
LINDENGROVE MUKWONAGO has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Lindengrove Mukwonago on Any Federal Watch List?
LINDENGROVE MUKWONAGO is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
