Edgewater Haven Nursing Home

Nestled along the banks of the Wisconsin River in the charming village of Port Edwards, Edgewater Haven Nursing Home offers skilled nursing care in a setting that reflects the quiet beauty and community spirit of central Wisconsin. Operated by Wood County government, the facility brings a deep sense of public accountability and community investment to every aspect of resident care — a hallmark of county-managed nursing homes that have served their neighbors for generations. Port Edwards sits just minutes from Wisconsin Rapids, where residents and families have easy access to Riverview Hospital, a full-service medical center that supports ongoing clinical coordination for skilled nursing residents. The Wisconsin River corridor provides a naturally calming backdrop, and the nearby Nepco Lake Recreation Area offers peaceful scenery that families can enjoy during visits. Mead Wildlife Area, one of Wisconsin's largest state wildlife areas, is just a short drive away, offering birdwatching and nature walks that connect residents and their loved ones to the outdoors. Families visiting from Wisconsin Rapids or surrounding Wood County communities will find the drive straightforward along Highway 54, with shopping options at the Wisconsin Rapids area's Crossroads Commons and a range of local restaurants including Carelli's Supper Club and Jade Garden for post-visit meals. At Edgewater Haven, skilled nursing services are designed to support residents recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or requiring long-term clinical care. The county's commitment to transparent, community-oriented governance means families can trust that staffing, programming, and care standards are subject to local oversight and accountability.
