Overview of William E. Christoffersen Salt Lake Veterans Home

The William E. Christoffersen Salt Lake Veterans Home sits on Foothill Drive in Salt Lake City, Utah, a few miles from downtown in a neighborhood where a car handles most of the geography (Walk Score 39). Operated by Avalon Healthcare, it is an 81-bed nursing home and memory care community that has been running for 26 years.

Seventy-five of 81 beds are filled, a 92% occupancy rate, and the average resident stays about 173 days. That number tells you something useful: this is a facility where short-term rehab residents and longer-term nursing or memory care residents share the building. Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab programs are both on offer, and a doctor is on staff with 24-hour nursing coverage.

On staffing, total nursing care comes to 4 hours 52 minutes per resident per day. Registered nurses account for 1 hour 29 minutes of that; nurse aides provide 2 hours 29 minutes. Respite care is available for families who need a temporary solution while figuring out next steps.

The amenities include religious services, volunteer programs, and Heart’s Desire, a branded program. State inspections have generally focused on operational concerns: medication management, infection control, dietary and food service, and fall prevention. Those are routine areas of regulatory attention for nursing homes. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

This is a veterans-specific home with a track record of consistent occupancy and on-site clinical resources. It fits veterans who need skilled nursing support, post-acute rehabilitation, or memory care in a facility built around that population.

Standout metric Weekend RN is +49% above state avg

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 29m per day	▲ 25% 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.	17m per day	▼ 42% 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 29m per day	▲ 5% 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 53m per day	▲ 11% 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.	4m per day	▼ 47% 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.	1h 15m per day	▲ 49% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 29m per day
