Randolph vs. Wisconsin: A Concerning Gap

Randolph nursing homes fall below the state average on key quality metrics. The city's average CMS rating of 2.00 stars trails Wisconsin's statewide average of 3.00 stars by nearly 1.0 stars—a significant gap that families should take seriously. The below-average performance is somewhat surprising for a major urban area, where competition and workforce availability typically drive higher quality.

Federal inspection data reveals 0 facilities classified as high-risk based on patterns of serious deficiencies, complaints, or CMS enforcement actions. Only 0 of 1 facilities earn a B grade or better, meaning families should be prepared to look beyond the closest option to find quality care.

Understanding Our Trust Score System

The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:

• Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
• Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
• Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
• Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
• Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity

In Randolph, 0 facilities score a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.

Staffing: Meeting Standards in Randolph

Staffing levels are among the most important predictors of nursing home quality. Research consistently shows that facilities with more nursing staff—especially registered nurses—have better outcomes for residents.

Randolph facilities average 1.08 RN hours per resident day, which meets the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Randolph resident receives approximately 65 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.

0 Randolph facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.

Ownership: An All For-Profit Market

Randolph has no non-profit nursing homes—all 1 facility with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 1 of 1 facility is chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.

Research suggests non-profit facilities often have higher staffing levels and fewer deficiencies on average. The absence of non-profit options in Randolph may be worth noting. Families seeking non-profit care should consider facilities in surrounding areas.

Ownership type alone does not guarantee quality. Several for-profit facilities in Randolph perform well. Families should evaluate each facility individually using inspection data, staffing levels, and recent deficiency reports rather than ownership type alone.
