This home is ranked 26th out of 66 homes in Utah. 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 15m per day | ▲ 6% 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.
| 10m per day | ▼ 67% State avg: 30m 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 9m per day | ▼ 9% State avg: 2h 22m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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 19m per day | ▼ 6% State avg: 3h 31m per day · National avg: 3h 26m 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.
| 56m per day | ▲ 12% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on December 3, 2025, identified a deficiency related to neglect when a resident was left in a wet brief for about eight hours, causing skin injury. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues including failure to maintain a clean environment, inadequate supervision, incomplete care plans, and medication management problems. A notable prior complaint investigation in April 2024 found immediate jeopardy due to a sexual abuse incident involving a staff member and a resident, which was addressed with staff separation and police involvement. Most complaint investigations were substantiated, leading to staff suspensions and terminations, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s deficiencies have persisted over time with some corrective actions taken, but recent findings indicate ongoing challenges in resident care and supervision.
