In the fourth quarter of 2023, Lutheran Home stood out as the third largest nursing home in Milwaukee County, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Data shows that the nursing center had a total of 160 beds available, 65 more than the average in Milwaukee County as of the fourth quarter of 2023. They aided an average of 132.7 residents during that period.

Lutheran Home boasted an overall rating of 5 from the CMS, which is higher than the average of 3.1 recorded for nursing homes in Wisconsin.

During the quarter, Bradley Estates Nursing and Rehabilitation, LLC stood out as the largest nursing home in Milwaukee County, with 198 beds available. Southpointe Care and Rehabilitation Center, LLC came in second place, with 174 beds available.

In total, there were 12 non-profit nursing homes in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
