Canyonlands Care Center accepts Medicaid.
Canyonlands Care Center is a licensed nursing care community in Moab, Utah, providing long-term care. Licensed since January 2011 in Grand County, this 36-bed skilled nursing community is Moab’s primary long-term nursing care option. The community is currently serving 34 residents, representing a 94% occupancy rate that stands among the highest in the state. This also reflects consistent local demand and an important role as the only skilled nursing presence in this remote corner of southeastern Utah. Along with accepting Medicaid and operating with a doctor on staff, and 24-hour coverage, an active Resident Council and volunteer program are also available.
Across five health inspections over six years, the community recorded 21 total citations against a Utah average of 27.7. 19 of which were moderate severity, 1 was serious, and 1 was critical. The single critical citation, issued in May 2025 for an abuse, neglect, or exploitation-related finding, is the most significant item in the record and is cited as corrected. A corresponding civil money penalty of $17,000 was assessed by CMS, which is 68% below the Utah average penalty of $53,000, and no payment denials have been recorded in the past three years. The most recent health inspection was conducted in November 2025, after the critical citation and penalty.
Staffing at the community is entirely employee-based with zero contractor hours, which is a meaningful indicator of workforce stability in a rural setting where contractor dependence can signal persistent recruitment challenges. The core nursing team includes 22 CNAs, 11 RNs, and 5 LPNs, all working nearly 100 percent of days during Q2 2025, with average shift lengths of 8.4 to 9.6 hours across nursing roles. Notably, the staff-to-resident ratio of 1.44:1 is 32% below the Utah average of 2.12:1. Three nurse practitioners, two social services staff, a mental health service worker, a clinical nurse specialist, and dietary staff also complete the full care team. The average shift length of 8.9 hours is 13% above the Utah average, which represents a positive sign of sustained daily care coverage.
The community performs significantly better than the Utah average on several important measures: UTI rates are 63% better, weight loss is 61 % better, depressive symptoms are 95% better, and antipsychotic use is 45% better. All of these are positive indicators of resident well-being and thoughtful care practices for older adults. However, falls with major injury and pressure ulcers among high-risk residents are both lower than the state average.
As the only nursing home serving this region of southeastern Utah, Canyonlands Care Center is best suited for older adults and families in Grand County seeking long-term skilled nursing care close to home, particularly those relying on Medicaid coverage.
