All 7 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Ogden,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Staffing is the strongest thing going for the George E. Wahlen Ogden Veterans Home, 5.05 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping only about 12% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 26.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The trouble is on the inspection side. Twelve deficiencies on the current record, three of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, two tied to abuse, and a $12,363 fine, with the most recent inspection in August 2024. Strong daily care, but a survey history that a family should ask hard questions about.
The Terrace Transitional runs 3.34 nursing hours per resident per day, about 13 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 13 percent below its own weekday numbers. That's a real gap if your parent needs help on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 43.8 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the same faces are somewhat more likely to stick around. The current record shows 26 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was August 2024. Family complaints tend to surface in surveys, and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating reflects that.
Harrison Pointe runs 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters more than the small shortfall against the average, because it means the coverage your relative gets on a Saturday looks different from a Tuesday. Annual turnover sits at 61.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing care change often. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last visit in March 2026. Clinical quality measures score well; staffing is where this home is thinnest.
Lomond Peak is county-owned, and its clinical quality scores are genuinely strong, a five out of five on CMS quality measures. The problem is the people delivering that care. At 2.50 nurse hours per resident day, staffing sits about 35 percent below the national average, and weekends run roughly 18 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover of 41.7 percent actually beats the national rate, so this isn't a churn problem; it's a budgeted-hours problem. Inspections tell a rougher story: 21 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a two out of five inspection rating from a visit dated October 2025. Ask about weekend coverage and how the abuse citation was resolved before deciding.
South Ogden Post-Acute runs 122 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the first thing worth knowing: 35 deficiencies on file, four of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $68,891 have followed. Staffing sits at 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, roughly 10% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is the sharper number: 60.2% of staff leave each year, against a national average near 46%. That churn doesn't automatically mean bad care, but it makes consistency harder to hold onto. Ask specifically about the abuse-related findings before you visit.
Crestwood runs on notably thin nursing coverage: 2.95 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below what the home already provides on weekdays. Inspectors have cited 45 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with one fine of $10,839 and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5; the last inspection was January 2024. Staff turnover sits at 59% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing care change often. The quality measure score of 5 out of 5 stands out against all of this, a gap worth asking the administrator about directly.
Mountain View Health Services is a 155-bed for-profit in Ogden, and the numbers behind its record are hard to look past. Nurse staffing sits at 3.08 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and more than half the nursing staff turned over in the past year. The home carries 101 deficiencies on its current record, 22 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus seven tied to abuse. Three CMS fines total $150,781, and the federal government has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes. If you're considering this one, ask what's changed since the January 2026 inspection.
