On the floor
What the day-to-day looks like
The employer describes a multidisciplinary setting where nurses collaborate with physicians on individualized treatment plans, and promotes a family-oriented culture across its three Wisconsin locations. Job postings highlight consistent management support and revised staffing ratios aimed at reducing burnout, though independent employee reviews are too sparse to confirm whether these changes have taken hold.

Who they are
Formerly Waterfall Health, this 87-bed skilled nursing facility now operates as Amethyst Health and says new leadership and revised staffing ratios are addressing past burnout and culture issues. Medicare rates the facility 'much below average' overall and a senior care listing scores it 1.0, so the turnaround story is still being written.
