Located in Salt Lake City, Utah, Monument Healthcare Murray Creek is a skilled nursing community that offers comprehensive clinical care alongside structured residential support for older adults who require ongoing medical attention and rehabilitation services. This 184-bed community serves older adults across the greater metropolitan area. Currently operating at an approximately 11% occupancy rate, the community has 20 of 184 beds occupied.
The community has undergone a total of 7 inspections, 3 of which are complaint-initiated. The most recent inspection in June 2025, a routine survey and a complaint investigation, identified 15 deficiencies, including failure to protect residents from abuse by both a resident and a staff member, with substantiated abuse by a registered nurse who was terminated. Over the years, the community has also accumulated a total of 51 deficiencies, which is significantly higher than the state average of 14. Earlier inspections also showed multiple recurring concerns, including incomplete care plans, inadequate medication management, insufficient abuse investigations, and problems with resident supervision and hygiene. However, no license suspensions or fines were reported
Designed to support older adults with significant medical needs who require consistent clinical oversight and therapeutic care, the community offers skilled nursing services paired with structured daily routines that promote recovery, stability, and engagement. Facilities of this size in Salt Lake City often work closely with hospitals, specialists, and rehabilitation providers to ensure continuity of care as residents’ health needs change over time.
Services include 24-hour nursing supervision, medication management, wound care, and coordinated rehabilitation therapies. The size of the community allows for more specialized care areas and focused support for different resident needs, including older adults recovering from surgery, managing complex health conditions, or participating in extended rehabilitation programs. This scale also supports a broader range of staffing roles and clinical resources than smaller settings. Multiple care units, shared dining areas, communal spaces, and activity rooms that support both medical care and quality of life are also available. This infrastructure also allows organized programming, nutritional support, social activities, and therapeutic services delivered within a coordinated care setting. The goal is to balance clinical treatment with opportunities for interaction and daily engagement.
For older adults and families exploring skilled nursing options in Salt Lake City, Monument Healthcare Murray Creek offers a large-scale, resource-intensive care environment.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 37th out of 80 homes in Utah for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 1h 8m per day | ▼ 4% State avg: 1h 11m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 33m per day | ▲ 5% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 16m per day | ▼ 4% State avg: 2h 22m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 28m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 3h 31m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 1m per day | ▼ 81% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 46m per day | ▼ 8% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 28m per day |

Based on CMS SNF Cost Report for fiscal year ending in 06/2024.
Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
