St. George Bella Terra operates as a nursing home in St. George, Utah, handling both long-term care and short-term rehabilitation placements. Here’s the structural fact: the facility is not Medicare or Medicaid certified. It reports staffing data to CMS; it sits in Utah’s health care landscape, but it operates outside federal certification, meaning federal benefit programs don’t cover residents here, and federal inspection oversight doesn’t apply. State licensing through Utah’s Department of Health and Human Services is the governing framework.
The neighborhood offers moderate walkability (Walk Score 58); some errands on foot, plenty requiring transport. Veterans Memorial Highway, shops, restaurants, and public transit nearby position the facility within accessible community infrastructure. The operational model includes 24-hour nursing presence, therapy services, structured meals, personalized care plans, and activity programming (light exercises, social events).
The staffing picture is where the data gets granular. RN coverage runs 38 minutes per resident per day, trailing the Utah state average of 1h 11m and the national norm of 41m. LPN hours (38 minutes daily) also fall short of the state average (30m) though below national (52m). Certified Nurse Aides, the primary direct-care workforce, clock 1h 44m per day against state average of 2h 22m and national of 2h 21m. Combined daily nursing hours: 2h 35m per resident, below both Utah state average (3h 31m) and national benchmark (3h 26m). Weekend RN hours drop to 33 minutes per day against the state average of 50m.
These staffing metrics and the absence of federal certification represent the operational framework within which residents and their families navigate care decisions and financial planning.
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.
| 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.
| 38m per day | ▼ 46% 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.
| 38m per day | ▲ 27% 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.
| 1h 44m per day | ▼ 27% 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.
| 2h 35m per day | ▼ 27% 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.
| 33m per day | ▼ 34% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
