Overview of Iron County Care and Share

Iron County Care and Share is a licensed residential support community in Cedar City, Utah, that serves individuals and families facing hardship, including those experiencing homelessness or housing instability. With a mission centered on helping residents stabilize their circumstances, emergency shelter, drop-in services, food pantry access, intake case management, and nutritious meals are provided, as well as volunteer programs and service projects. Operating as a nonprofit organization and regulated by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, this community was licensed in December 2023 in Iron County. Currently serving 31 of its 38 available beds, the community holds an occupancy rate of 82%, which is meaningfully above the Utah state average of 70.1%.

From a compliance standpoint, the overall deficiency record is favorable relative to its peer category. Across four inspections since licensing in late 2023, the community recorded 6 total deficiencies, which is 57% fewer than the Utah average of 14. The most recent inspection on December 4, 2024, a routine inspection, identified six deficiencies spanning several administrative categories. All findings are administrative and documentation-related in nature, as no deficiencies related to direct participant safety or care quality were cited. Additionally, no complaint investigations, enforcement actions, or fines appear in any inspection report.

Program offerings are designed around the practical needs of individuals in crisis, with services that include emergency shelter, a food pantry, drop-in services, case management support, volunteer opportunities, and service projects. Meals are also provided on-site.

Iron County Care and Share is best suited for individuals and families in Iron County who need emergency housing, food access, or case management support as a bridge to greater stability. Its mission-driven, nonprofit structure and central Cedar City location make it one of the more accessible crisis and transitional support resources in southern Utah. Since the community is not a traditional assisted living community or a nursing home, older adults or families should note that its model and services are oriented toward transitional residential support rather than ongoing personal or medical care.
