Wisconsin has long been known as “America’s Dairyland” offering a trademark Midwest experience with a slower pace of living, less traffic, few big cities, and hospitable and friendly neighbors. The attitude translates well to Wisconsin nursing homes where many decide to make it their short-term care or long-term care home, along with many that relocate to the state specifically for that purpose.
Wisconsin nursing homes feature moderate costs for semi-private and private rooms that reflect the national average. Therefore, Wisconsin skilled nursing facilities are neither expensive nor extremely cheap. Yet with such a terrific location, many elderly seniors are quick to want to make Wisconsin long term care their next home.
The average semi-private room in Wisconsin nursing homes goes for $42,000 per year. It is about $1,000 more per year than the projected average for the rest of the United States. Meanwhile, a private room averages nearly $97,000 per year. The private room average is especially higher, as nationally private rooms tend to go more for $82,000 to $86,000.
The good news is Wisconsin nursing home costs are rising at a slower average than the rest of the country. Assisted living facilities only rose 2.5 percent in the last year, and nursing homes in Wisconsin demonstrated a similar trend. Skilled nursing facilities in other parts of the nation are rising much higher, nearly double at approximately 4.5 percent.
