Primarily short stays
Residents typically stay for brief periods, with frequent admissions and discharges throughout the year.
Most new residents arrive under private pay (63% of admissions), and a typical private pay stay runs around 2 - 3 months.
Providing services since 1994, Sunshine Terrace Skilled Nursing handles long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, memory care, and hospice support within a 172-bed building. The nonprofit facility is managed by Milford Memorial Hospital and operates a certified nurse aide training program alongside an active resident council. The community serves a population consisting of 63% private-pay admissions, 19% Medicare, and 18% Medicaid, with an average resident stay of 169 days. The physical site is located in a downtown area carrying a Walk Score of 85, though current financial files show a low 29.6% occupancy rate alongside substantial operating losses.
State health evaluations from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) document recent regulatory hurdles, highlighted by a February 2024 review that flagged 12 moderate deficiencies. The final inspection report cited systemic gaps across administrative protocols, including delayed abuse reporting, food safety problems affecting the main kitchen, and physical plant safety items like inadequate emergency lighting and non-compliant fire suppression.
Daily care times are solid, averaging 4 hours and 24 minutes per resident to rank 12th statewide, with weekend nursing hours tracking 40% above the Utah baseline. Clinical data shows mixed outcomes; long-stay residents experience low depression rates and steady physical mobility, but short-stay rehab metrics reveal low vaccination updates and a hospital readmission rate that runs 45% worse than the state average.
Interested individuals weighing regional long-term care choices can look over these multi-year public health dossiers to analyze the operator’s tracking patterns. Since the official databases confirm a pattern of building safety and administrative paperwork marks alongside low occupancy and weak short-term recovery outcomes, cross-referencing current correction plans with the director is an essential precaution.
In Utah, the Department of Health and Human Services, Health Facility Licensing conducts regular onsite inspections to ensure compliance with state and federal healthcare standards.
