Beaver Dam Health Care Center - Bedrock Healthcare sits in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, and serves as a nursing home with 90 certified beds and about 64 residents on average, giving it a fairly homey, close-knit feeling, and folks who've stayed there mention a nurturing and secure environment, especially in its memory care unit for Alzheimer's and dementia patients, plus there's short-term rehab and long-term care, with room options like studios, semi-private, share, and companion rooms, so residents have some flexibility. Staff includes a range of healthcare professionals like CNAs and notable names such as Jennifer Nencka, DPT, who's a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and it's got a team approach, which means people work together to keep care consistent, though the nurse turnover rate sits at 77.3%, higher than the state average, and nurse staffing comes to about 3.15 hours per resident each day, which is less than the state's 4.1 hour average.
Bedrock Healthcare runs this center, with leadership from individuals like Kenny Nichols, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, and others including Pnina Chopp and Shimon Grunhut, and the group also has facilities in cities like Milwaukee, Fort Atkinson, Watertown, and a few more, showing it's got experience across the region, and from what's listed, this place provides services covering assisted living, home care, memory care, skilled and independent nursing, hospice, and palliative care, with extra programs like rehab for cardiac, pulmonary, and orthopedic needs, plus wound care and post-op care, so there's quite a range for residents dealing with health changes.
The place tries to match care and activities to fit people's needs, and says it wants to meet clinical, social, and emotional needs with programs and a caring staff, but there's been a history of inspection issues, with 104 deficiencies over the last few years and special attention needed for infection control, as reports detail 11 infection-related deficiencies, so that's an active area for improvement, and the place sits as a Special Focus Facility Candidate, which means the government noticed past problems though hasn't issued a formal warning yet. Medicare and Medicaid help cover costs here, and ratings show mixed impressions-a 2-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services but a stronger 8 out of 10 from some community reviewers and 4.3 out of 5 based on 9 public reviews, so experiences can vary, and it gives a picture both of quality efforts and challenges. Amenities here match standard nursing home offerings, and the secure environment supports people needing extra care, especially those with memory concerns, with personalized wellness and activities trying to keep each resident's days meaningful and supported.
