10 Best Nursing Homes in Madison, WI

Answer a few questions to get personalized results

Who are you searching for?

Called one of the most “quintessentially American” cities, Madison, Wisconsin, has so much to offer. Between its top-rated museums and art galleries, scenic lakefront views and activities, and historical attractions, Madison is rated the fifth-best city in the nation for the quality of life of senior residents. If you’re looking for quality nursing home care for your loved one, Madison is a great choice.

Typically, “nursing home” is used as a catch-all term to describe many different types of senior care and elderly living facilities. A nursing home refers to a facility providing patients with round-the-clock, hospital-like care to elderly patients.

While A Place for Mom doesn’t partner with any standalone skilled nursing homes, we do partner with assisted living and memory care facilities. Out of these partner communities, two assisted living facilities and three memory care facilities offer on-site skilled nursing care similar to what you might find in a standalone nursing home.

Both options provide on-site care and regular assistance with routine daily activities. In the case of memory care, residents receive specialized care for Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia.

A Place for Mom partners with 31 assisted living and memory care facilities within a 10-mile radius of central Madison. No matter what degree of care your loved one requires, our senior care facilities treat residents with personalized, top-shelf care that provides regular peace of mind. This guide will explore costs, payment options, care-type specifics, and other notable insights about senior living in Wisconsin’s capital city.

How people pay for a nursing home in Madison

If the prospect of paying for a senior living facility is a daunting one, rest assured that several options can help. Whether you’re going to a skilled nursing facility or require a less intensive level of care, such as assisted living or memory care, your loved one’s stay can be financed privately or federally through avenues like Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, Medicaid, or Medicare. In these tabs, we’ll explore how these payment strategies can apply.

Private pay methods in Madison

If you’re searching for the most red-tape-free way to pay for skilled nursing, assisted living, or memory care, look no further than your own accrued wealth. Whatever personal savings you or your loved ones might have on hand can apply to whatever care is needed. Now, what if that alone won’t make ends meet? Try leveraging other options like Social Security benefits and pensions or cashing in on side investments like a stock portfolio or real estate assets. You can even tap into long-term care insurance or life insurance to help make monthly payments. Some other common ways families pay for long-term care can include:

VA benefits for nursing homes in Madison

With more than a quarter of the city’s veterans older than 75, it’s appropriate for Madison to have a strong support network for seniors who served their country at home or abroad. If your loved one is a veteran in need of senior living facility care, VA benefits can be a reliable resource.

Ask a local veterans services officer about the VA Aid & Attendance benefit.[05]. If qualified, an additional monthly amount will be added to their VA Pension.

Also, note that certain ailments suffered during combat might make additional benefits available to your loved one. Review the Presumptive Disability Benefits fact sheet to see if any of these criteria apply.[06]

Madison is host to multiple veterans services organizations (VSOs) and facilities that can help navigate some of these questions. The VFW Department of Wisconsin is a state-wide support system for veterans and can be especially helpful for those needing help financing their senior living facility stays. In Madison, connecting with the local VFW or American Legion branches can help point older veterans in the right direction.

Madison Medicaid for nursing homes

Low monthly income should not preclude your loved one from affording a nursing home, assisted living, or memory care stay.

Wisconsin Medicaid is available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents living in Wisconsin who meet one of the following criteria:[07]

  • Be aged 65 or older
  • Have a disability
  • Have someone with a disability living in your home

The amount of support Medicaid can cover for your loved ones’ stay is dependent on the type of medical care needed.

Medicaid coverage for nursing homes

Wisconsin Medicaid will cover nursing home care at Medicaid-accredited facilities if a patient’s financial assets and income fall below a certain level and if a screening process determines they require skilled nursing-level care.

Should your loved one meet both criteria, they’ll receive the following coverage during their nursing home stay:{{citation:7}

  • Room and board
  • Medications
  • Medical care
  • Skilled nursing care
  • Therapy services

Those interested in applying for Wisconsin Medicaid can review the state’s eligibility handbook for application details.[08]

Medicaid coverage for assisted living and memory care

In Wisconsin, there is also a waiver called home and community-based services (HCBS), which keeps a waiting list of potential qualifiers and provides skilled nursing quality care at home or in an assisted living or memory care facility.[09] HCBS recipients must fall under certain financial thresholds and demonstrate a need for assistance with activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), like bathing, dressing, and medication management.

Assisted living and memory care tenants can receive Medicaid coverage through HCBS waivers and apply that funding to help conduct ADLs and IADLs.

Though coverage depends on the facility chosen, Medicaid will typically help assisted living and memory care residents with the following:

  • ADLs
  • Medication oversight
  • Appointment transportation
  • Behavioral therapy
  • Other approved services

Additional resources

Those who are 65 and older can also tap into Wisconsin’s SeniorCare program to get help with prescription drug costs.

For help checking into which benefits your loved one might qualify for, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services offers assistance at the Job Center. The Ombudsman Program through the Board on Aging and Long-Term Care Local Area Agency on Aging are both ready to provide help, too.

Medicare nursing home coverage in Madison

Medicare is federal health care coverage available to people aged 65 and over, people under 65 receiving Social Security, or anyone at any age living with ALS or who has been diagnosed with end-stage renal failure.

While Medicare doesn’t cover skilled nursing custodial costs (e.g., room and board) or needs (i.e., dressing, bathing, eating, etc.), it could provide support for individuals with the following services in nursing facilities for up to 100 days:[10]

  • A semi-private room
  • Nutritional support and meals
  • Skilled nursing care
  • Physical therapy (if needed to meet their health goal)
  • Occupational therapy (if needed to meet their health goal)
  • Speech-language pathology services
  • Medical social services
  • Medications
  • Medical supplies and equipment used in the facility
  • Ambulance transportation (if it’s the safest option)

Part A

In addition, Medicare Part A is the equivalent of hospital insurance and will cover any skilled nursing facility needs deemed medically necessary. This coverage will kick in for a hospital-related medical condition. Medicare Part A will support your loved one’s care, but it will not pay for an assisted living facility stay or any assistance with ADLs during the stay. It won’t cover custodial care, but Part A will fund some skilled nursing needs for assisted living or memory care residents if done by a certified nurse or doctor in an assisted living or memory care facility.

Additional resources

Medicare’s different plans and specifications might seem overwhelming at first. Luckily, the Madison area has several resources that you can use to help your loved ones find coverage. Wisconsin’s State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) makes counselors available in person and on the phone for people needing information on the intricacies of Medicare and its programs. The program outlines examples of how it can support you and your loved one on its Counseling Success Stories page.

The Wisconsin Medicare Savings Program is a qualified beneficiary provider through Dane County, and SeniorCare focuses specifically on prescription medication needs. There are application forms available online to take advantage of this cost-savings program, details on how to apply can be found on the SeniorCare online application.

MyChoice Wisconsin sets members up with resources in their communities to find the best care at the most affordable rates. There’s also a Social Security office in Madison, as well as the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Dane County (ARDC), and the long-term care ombudsman through the Wisconsin Board on Aging and Long-Term Care.

No matter your situation, there’s someone in Madison ready to help you get the care your loved one needs.

Understand Wisconsin laws and regulations for nursing homes

The Wisconsin State Legislature defines nursing homes as places where five or more unrelated people live because they need some level of nursing care 24/7. These facilities have to follow a long list of regulations that govern everything from staff training requirements to care standards.

Here are some of the standards nursing homes must follow:

  • No nursing home in the state may operate without a licensed administrator.
  • Each nursing home will employ a charge nurse at all times who is a licensed, practicing nurse.
  • Staff-to-resident ratios are mandated to be 1:5 during waking hours, and 1:8 at night, providing at least one staff member awake and providing care at all times.[11]
  • Facilities must conduct background checks for employees and vendors who have any regular or direct content with patients or residents.[12]
  • Hours of care provided must meet specific requirements that depend on the level of care needed (not including feeding).
  • A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse must provide a portion of the skilled nursing care that the resident receives.

Both federal and state regulations govern nursing homes. To find out about any Madison nursing home’s compliance, take a look at the annual Consumer Information Reports compiled by the Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) to help consumers determine the quality of care at all nursing home facilities. You can also use this online provider search tool and filter the results by nursing homes. Or, you can reach out to the DQA’s Bureau of Nursing Home Resident Care Regional Office, which is responsible for licensure and inspection of nursing homes.

Laws and regulations for assisted living and memory care facilities

The DQA’s Bureau of Assisted Living is the branch in charge of licensure and inspection of assisted living and memory care facilities. Facilities are inspected at least once every two years to check for compliance with laws and regulations. To see how facilities fared, use the online provider search tool, or reach out to the DQA’s Bureau of Assisted Living Regional Offices.

Memory care is classified as a form of assisted living, and there are three distinct types of assisted living in Wisconsin:

  • Residential Care Apartment Complexes: This assisted living classification provides personal care, room and board, and up to 28 hours a week of supportive care and/or nursing. They must adhere to these rules and regulations.
  • Community-Based Residential Facilities: This type offers less nursing care (up to three hours per week), but still has support services and supervision along with room and board. Here are the rules and regulations that apply to these facilities.
  • Adult Family Homes: This falls in the middle when it comes to nursing care. Up to seven weekly hours can be provided in addition to room and board. Adult Family Homes are limited to a maximum of four residents. These communities also have several rules and regulations that govern this type of assisted living.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services lays out a comprehensive list of resources to help you find more information about each type.

COVID-19 regulations for Madison nursing homes

Madison does not have strict COVID-19 guidelines regarding tenants of nursing homes, memory care, and assisted living facilities in Madison. That said, the city does acknowledge CDC guidelines and takes every step to help ensure tenants and employees take the proper precautions.

Vaccinations. Patients and visitors are not required to be vaccinated.

Masking. Masking is encouraged but not required. Individuals are asked to assess their own personal care needs before choosing to wear a mask

Facility cleanliness. Staff members are asked to regularly disinfect themselves and common areas.

What to expect from nursing homes in Madison

Madison is a beautiful town to settle down in; it’s got a small-town feel with big-city amenities.

A variety of perks for any senior

  • Private outdoor areas
  • A beauty salon so your loved one can look their best
  • Special dining programs
  • Live musical performances
  • A recreation room
  • Holiday parties and other communal celebrations

Residents have semi-private or private rooms with bathrooms attached. They have access to both indoor and outdoor common areas to mingle with their fellow residents and entertain guests.

Opportunities for continuity of care

The kind of care that your loved one might need can evolve over time, which is why there are a wide variety of partnered facilities in Madison that offer a combination of care types:[03]

  •  Fourteen facilities combine assisted living and memory care.
  •  Eight are standalone assisted living facilities.
  •  Two facilities combine assisted living and independent living.
  •  Four facilities combine assisted living, independent living, and memory care — a highly progressive layout.
  •  Two memory care-only facilities are nearby.
  • One group home in the area provides memory care.

Stand-alone memory care facilities

Within Madison, there are two standalone memory care facilities. Memory care communities are designed to care for and treat residents with memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease, or other types of dementia. These facilities provide closer supervision for seniors and memory-focused therapy programs. Memory care facilities are often equipped with special security measures to keep your loved one safe and secure, regardless of circumstance. They also employ therapies to reduce confusion and agitation.

Assisted living and memory care

There are 14 partner facilities combining assisted living and memory care throughout Madison, making this the most available type of care. Residents can expect memory care treatment along with daily assistance on needs such as bathing, dressing, the administering of any prescription medications, and other services. Those who don’t need memory care will receive general assisted living services.

Combination of assisted living, independent living, and memory care facilities

Seen as a more modern form of care, these tiered care facilities have options for many seniors. These facilities are great for seniors who may not currently need care now but would like to age in place and want security knowing they can access care if they need to down the line. Senior tenants are all provided on-site housing and meals, with varying types of on-site amenities, and convenient services and care available as needed. If care needs change, a move to another facility won’t be necessary.
