MARQUARDT MEMORIAL MANOR
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Marquardt Memorial Manor has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating a poor quality of care with significant concerns. It ranks #294 out of 321 nursing homes in Wisconsin, placing it in the bottom half of facilities statewide, and #9 out of 10 in Dodge County, suggesting limited options for better care nearby. The facility's trend is improving, as it has reduced its number of issues from 10 in 2024 to 4 in 2025. Staffing is rated at 2/5 stars, with a turnover rate of 56%, which is about average compared to the state. However, the facility was fined $40,480, which is concerning, and highlights ongoing compliance issues. In terms of RN coverage, it provides average levels, meaning residents may not receive as much specialized nursing attention as needed. Specific incidents include a resident who fell and suffered a major injury due to inadequate supervision and another resident who developed pressure injuries because the necessary assessments were not conducted. While there are some improvements in reducing issues, families should carefully consider these serious concerns when evaluating this facility for their loved ones.

About This Facility
What is Marquardt Memorial Manor's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns MARQUARDT MEMORIAL MANOR an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, which is considered much below average nationally. Within Wisconsin, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Marquardt Memorial Manor Staffed?
CMS rates MARQUARDT MEMORIAL MANOR's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 56%, which is 10 percentage points above the Wisconsin average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs.
What Have Inspectors Found at Marquardt Memorial Manor?
State health inspectors documented 31 deficiencies at MARQUARDT MEMORIAL MANOR during 2022 to 2025. These included: 3 that caused actual resident harm and 28 with potential for harm. Deficiencies causing actual harm indicate documented cases where residents experienced negative health consequences.
Who Owns and Operates Marquardt Memorial Manor?
MARQUARDT MEMORIAL MANOR is owned by a non-profit organization. Non-profit facilities reinvest revenue into operations rather than distributing to shareholders. The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 140 certified beds and approximately 76 residents (about 54% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in WATERTOWN, Wisconsin.
How Does Marquardt Memorial Manor Compare to Other Wisconsin Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Wisconsin, MARQUARDT MEMORIAL MANOR's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 3.0, staff turnover (56%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (2 stars) is below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Marquardt Memorial Manor?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Marquardt Memorial Manor Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, MARQUARDT MEMORIAL MANOR 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). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Wisconsin. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Marquardt Memorial Manor Stick Around?
Staff turnover at MARQUARDT MEMORIAL MANOR is high. At 56%, the facility is 10 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 Marquardt Memorial Manor Ever Fined?
MARQUARDT MEMORIAL MANOR has been fined $40,480 across 1 penalty action. The Wisconsin average is $33,484. While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Marquardt Memorial Manor on Any Federal Watch List?
MARQUARDT MEMORIAL MANOR 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.
