St Elizabeth Home

St. Elizabeth Nursing Home sits at 109 S Atwood Ave in Janesville, WI and offers skilled nursing care for older adults, with a focus on health and daily living support, and the place holds 43 certified beds and usually has around 30 residents each day, so it feels on the smaller side, which makes it a bit less crowded than some places, and folks can choose between private or semi-private rooms with their own thermostat and cable TV, and there's even a guest suite if families come to visit, with things like a private bath, queen-size sofa sleeper, and some appliances like a microwave and coffeemaker, and people who need more help can get around-the-clock care from a team of nurses and caregivers, though the nurse staffing averages about 3.83 hours per resident per day and the nurse turnover rate is a bit high at 74.4%, and Nicole Chwala has been managing the place since November 2021. The home is non-profit, connected with Sisters of Charity Our Lady MO, and the building has a basement at 210208 N Main. St. Elizabeth Nursing Home has had a number of inspection deficiencies-70 total, with 13 tied to infection concerns, including not meeting federal standards for infection control (F0880), missing parts of resident care plans (F0656), and not always making sure areas are free from accident hazards or that folks get enough supervision (F0689), and there've been past violations related to stopping the spread of infections in the building. Still, they do offer short-term rehabilitation for people recovering from surgeries or illness, long-term skilled nursing for daily support, respite care when caregivers need a break, and hospice care for advanced illnesses, including a special 30-bed Alzheimer's unit for memory care. The facility tries to give a calm setting for healing, with services set up to meet residents' medical and emotional needs, and though there are no specific details about extra amenities or activities, the core care is aimed at helping people live with dignity and comfort, as much as possible, in a small, family-type community.
