In the fourth quarter of 2023, Dove Healthcare - Bloomer stood out as the second largest nursing home in Chippewa County, tied with two other nursing homes, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). It shared its ranking with Cornell Health Services and Chippewa Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation.

Data shows that the nursing center had a total of 50 beds available, on par with the average in Chippewa County as of the fourth quarter of 2023. They aided an average of 42.2 residents during that period.

Dove Healthcare - Bloomer 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, WI Veterans Home at Chippewa Falls stood out as the largest nursing home in Chippewa County, with 72 beds available.

As of the fourth quarter of 2023, Dove Healthcare - Bloomer has spent a total of $5,000 in one fine and suffered one penalty.

In total, there were five for-profit nursing homes in Chippewa 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.”
