Our editorial team analyzed 81 nursing homes in UT using CMS data, inspection records, complaints, amenities, and facility-level details. How we rank nursing homes in UT
Info below is compiled from CMS reports & the UT Dept. of Health & Human Services (DHHS), senior community websites & trusted data sources such as Walk Score & BBB.
Communities are listed from highest-ranked to lowest-ranked based on our methodology.

CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This TableAL (Assisted Living):
Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing.
NH (Nursing Home):
24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs.
SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility):
Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness.
MC (Memory Care):
Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia.
RC (Respite Care):
Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break.
HC (Home Care):
Professional care delivered in the person's own home, from companionship to skilled nursing.
HOS (Hospice Care):
Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment.
PC (Palliative Care):
Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Utah average is: 49.5% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

South Ogden Post Acute offers skilled nursing, nursing home, hospice, and respite care in Ogden, Utah. Skilled nursing and nursing home care provide nursing support for residents who need ongoing clinical care. Hospice supports residents receiving comfort focused care at the end of life, while respite care offers a short term stay when a usual caregiver needs time away. The combination of rehabilitation and skilled nursing may suit someone recovering after surgery or another significant health event.
Rehabilitation services include care after orthopedic surgery, along with cardiac care, diabetes care, and IV therapy. Staff also support dressing, walking, and dining, so care can address both specific recovery needs and everyday activities. Large private and semi private rooms give residents the choice of having a room alone or sharing with someone else. Private therapy recovery suites provide dedicated space for treatment, and restaurant style meals create a separate setting for dining.
South Ogden Post Acute accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay. Medicaid may help cover a longer stay when personal savings are not sufficient, Medicare applies to eligible short term skilled care after a hospital stay, and private pay means paying directly. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 29 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time allocated to each resident.
Four levels are licensed at Parkdale Health and Rehab in Price, UT: a nursing home tier, hospice care, skilled nursing, and respite. A licensed nurse holds the floor at any hour of the day. Hospice residents rarely have their worst hours in daylight, and the staffing does not assume otherwise.
Hospice here is the point where a care plan stops carrying a discharge date. Travel, recovery, or a second household that also needs the caregiver: respite covers those weeks. Fifty-eight beds fill out the building, small enough that residents and staff learn each other’s names.
A physician works on staff here. Three hours and one minute of nursing reaches a resident over a day. Short-term rehabilitation covers the weeks after orthopedic surgery, when weight-bearing rules matter more than willpower.
Diabetes care, IV therapy, and cardiac care carry their own names. Dressing, walking, and dining appear on that list as ordinary help. Someone recovering from orthopedic surgery fits, and so does a family needing short-term care.
A bill can be met three ways here: by Medicaid, by Medicare, or privately. Hospice, long-term nursing, and rehabilitation run inside one skilled nursing setting, which lets a short recovery and a permanent stay share an address.

Four care types are named at Mt. Olympus Rehabilitation Center in Salt Lake City, UT: skilled nursing, respite, ordinary nursing home care, and hospice care. The clinician on duty in the small hours holds the same license as the one on at noon. Hospice here is comfort for a serious illness, which is not the same as a prognosis measured in weeks.
Respite is a short stay for a caregiver who needs time away or time to recover. A break taken on purpose is different from one a family collapses into. Two kinds of people arrive: one is recovering and expects to leave, the other is a household buying a planned break.
The license covers 100 beds. The recovery side runs on short-term rehabilitation, with IV therapy and diabetes care underneath. Dressing, walking, and dining are on the same program list.
A resident is credited 3 hours and 33 minutes of nursing a day. Medicaid opens a route for an eligible resident whose savings will not cover a long stay. Medicare pays for skilled weeks after a hospital stay, never for a permanent address, and private pay means the money comes straight from the family.
Palliative care at Spring Creek Healthcare Center works on comfort and symptoms for a resident with a serious illness, alongside whatever treatment keeps going. Respite care is the short-stay version of help, booked when a usual caregiver has to travel or recover.
92 beds sit in Salt Lake City. Skilled nursing brings licensed nursing care on site at every hour. Memory care is secured and supervised, which is the answer for a person living with dementia who is at risk of wandering off.
Nursing time available for each resident runs 3 hours and 17 minutes a day. You can pay using Medicare, Medicaid, or your own money. Medicare pays for a short time of nursing care after a person leaves the hospital. It does not pay for someone to live there forever. Medicaid helps when a person runs out of savings during a long stay. Private pay means the family pays for the costs themselves.
The area has a walk score of 72, which means it is very easy to get around on foot. Shops, pharmacies, and cafes are just a short walk away. This is great for residents who do not drive anymore. Rehabilitation services keep therapy on site, with no ride to schedule for it. Dining is handled in the building, a patio gives residents somewhere to sit outside, and a salon covers grooming.
Every nursing home above is evaluated across five weighted categories using CMS data including Care Compare, Payroll-Based Journal, and Medicare Cost Reports. Rank badges compare each home against other nursing homes in the same state — never against assisted living, memory care, or independent living communities.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Utah
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Utah?
Assisted living in Utah is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Utah Medicaid cover nursing home care?
Yes — Utah Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
What is nursing home care?
Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.
How many nursing homes are listed on this page?
This page features 81 nursing homes in Utah. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right nursing home in Utah?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Utah, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Utah?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
