These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 54% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 15 findings, above the WI average of 9.8. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Avina of Fond du Lac (formerly Crossroads Care Center) receives highly polarized feedback, with some families praising the compassionate staff and effective rehab, while others report severe concerns regarding cleanliness and neglect. Multiple reviewers have cited issues with slow call light response times, poor facility hygiene, and subpar food quality. Families considering this facility should be aware of the significant inconsistency in care experiences reported by different visitors.

Key Review Excerpts
“Call lights took over an hour to answer, where I would get calls at home stating he was in tremendous pain and Noone would answer his light,where I had to actually go in to answer his light and take care of his needs.”
“The bathroom in the 2nd floor bathroom was very gross, it had poop on the toilet seat.”
“The staff is most qualified, the building and grounds are acceptable, the food is palatable, the residents are each pleasant . Housekeeping cleans and mops my room daily.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Detailed Medicare record · up to 3-year lookback
This facility shows significant ongoing concerns across multiple areas, with families filing 13 complaints triggering inspections. The most persistent problems involve nursing staffing shortfalls (registered nurse coverage deficiencies appearing in three separate years), fire safety and building compliance issues, and medication management failures. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the recurring patterns in core care areas like staffing and safety, combined with the high number of family complaints, suggest systemic challenges that prospective families should carefully investigate before visiting.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
