How for-profit homes in Salt Lake City, UT compare
This group set against every nursing home in Salt Lake City, UT, from the current CMS release.
The Salt Lake Veterans Home runs leaner on staff turnover than most places, 38.5% a year against a national average near 46%, and that stability shows up in the nurse hours, 4.38 per resident day, about 13% above the national figure. Weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays.
The inspection record is mostly clean, with one deficiency serious enough to cause harm among the twelve total. A single fine of $12,735 sits on file, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. It's a for-profit LLC, so ask who's actually on the floor on a Sunday.
Monument Healthcare Millcreek runs about 3.74 nurse hours per resident each day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and don't see the weekday crew. Annual turnover sits at 46.9%, just above the national 45.8%, so expect some churn in who's caring for your relative. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, two tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was November 20, 2025. The quality measure rating is strong; the inspection history is more mixed.
St Joseph Villa runs 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below its own weekday numbers, a pattern families should ask about directly, since needs don't pause on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 31.2%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier workforce than many for-profit homes of this size. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 14 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with the most recent state visit in July 2024. Its quality and staffing ratings are stronger than its inspection history, so weigh those abuse findings carefully before deciding.
City Creek Post Acute sits in Salt Lake City with 108 certified beds and a for-profit partnership structure. The numbers here pull in opposite directions: residents' clinical outcomes score well on federal quality measures, but staffing earns only one star out of five, and the home carries 21 deficiencies on its current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That staffing figure is the one worth sitting with, since day-to-day care depends on people, not charts. The most recent inspection closed in March 2026, so the picture is current. Ask about direct-care hours per resident per day and how the abuse-related findings were resolved before you make a decision.
Holladay Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover at 43.8% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. A 2/5 health inspection rating against a 5/5 quality measure rating suggests the clinical metrics look better than the survey history.
Monument Healthcare Cottonwood Creek runs 77 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 11% lighter than its own weekdays. The inspection record is where the real concern shows: 28 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three abuse-related citations and a $17,940 fine, with the most recent inspection dated April 4, 2024. Quality measure scores look strong on paper, but that contrast with the inspection history and below-average staffing is worth asking about directly before you decide.
Monument Healthcare Taylorsville runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in different directions. The quality measure rating sits at 5 out of 5, but staffing is 1 out of 5, well below what you'd want to see, and health inspections come in at 2. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $7,525 fine. That combination is worth asking about directly: strong clinical metrics on paper rarely mean much if there aren't enough hands on deck to deliver the care. The last inspection was February 3, 2026, so the picture is recent, not stale.
Mt. Olympus Rehabilitation Center runs 100 beds in Salt Lake City under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is weakest when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 58.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means new faces are constantly cycling through. The inspection record is the harder part: 58 deficiencies, including five at harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with $149,703 in fines. Quality measures score well, but the state's last visit was May 2024.
Spring Creek runs about 3.49 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly another 10% below its own weekday coverage. Those two facts matter together, because the hours a resident actually gets are usually the thinnest on Saturdays and Sundays, exactly when families tend to visit and notice.
The staff turnover number is the one I'd sit with: 76.8% annually, well above the 45.8% national figure. High churn means aides and nurses are constantly new to your mother's routine and preferences, and that shows up in the inspection record, 98 deficiencies, 26 of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, plus six tied to abuse.
Pine Creek Rehabilitation and Nursing runs 34 certified beds in Salt Lake City under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 2.81 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 80% against a national 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses caring for your relative are likely newer than the building itself. The inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $56,121. A recent October 2025 inspection is the one bright spot, ask what changed since.
Maple Ridge runs on 2.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 72.4% against a national 45.8%, so the people around your family member change often. The inspection record backs that up: 34 deficiencies, including three at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $11,887. Salt Lake City-county ownership doesn't change the arithmetic. The 4/5 quality measure score reflects how residents are doing on paper, but the last inspection was June 2025 and the staffing rating is 1/5. Worth asking hard questions before a move-in.
