Rocky Mountain Care - The Lodge

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
70%
Serious cites

Rocky Mountain Care - The Lodge runs 92 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its quality measure score is strong. The staffing picture is where things get complicated: 3.63 nurse hours per resident day sits about 6% under the national average of 3.86, weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 69.9% against a national 45.8%. On inspections, the record shows 29 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, plus one fine of $32,029. The last inspection was March 2024. Strong quality numbers and heavy staff churn can coexist, but families should ask how the home keeps direct care consistent when so many caregivers leave each year.

Rocky Mountain Care-Clearfield runs 168 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 8% leaner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 64.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nursing team leaves within a year. The health inspection record is the harder read: 52 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a $58,637 fine, with the last inspection in April 2024. Quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection numbers are where a family should focus.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
60%

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.

Parkdale runs on 3.50 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and the gap widens on weekends when coverage drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 60.6% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $6,351 fine and a survey last dated May 2024. For-profit corporate ownership, a two-star inspection rating, and thin weekend staffing tell a consistent story: this home has real compliance problems it hasn't fixed.

Spring Creek Healthcare Center

Staff turnover
77%
Serious cites
0

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.

Sandy Health and Rehab runs 141 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers raise real questions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.30 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 14% below what the home staffs on weekdays, which matters most when families visit and emergencies happen. Annual turnover of 69.7% is well above the national 45.8%, so the people caring for your relative are likely to change often. The inspection record is the harder read: 74 deficiencies, 13 at harm or jeopardy level, 5 abuse-related, and three fines totaling $89,798, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. Quality measures score well, but that's a narrow slice of the picture.

Staff turnover

Rocky Mountain Care's Cottage On Vine is individually owned for profit, and the numbers show where that leaves residents. Nurse staffing sits at 3.43 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover is the sharper problem: 70.4% annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers change constantly. The inspection record backs that up, 57 deficiencies, 10 serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, 9 tied to abuse, and $78,946 in fines across two penalties. Quality scores look strong on paper, but a March 2025 inspection and a 2/5 staffing rating tell the more useful story.

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.

Bella Terra St George runs 149 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 2.99 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 14% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover hits 64.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record shows 64 deficiencies, 12 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with $81,346 in fines across two penalties. A recent inspection date doesn't erase that history. The quality measure score looks fine on paper; the direct-care and safety record is what families actually live with.

Spanish Fork Rehabilitation And Nursing

Serious cites

Spanish Fork Rehabilitation and Nursing runs on 2.74 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 29% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage sits behind a 69.6% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside are often new and still learning the residents. Inspectors last visited in November 2025 and logged 10 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with $69,083 in fines across two cases. State inspectors and quality measures both score well above average, but those snapshots can't offset day-to-day staffing this lean.

Four Corners Regional Care Center runs on 2.91 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 12% below what it manages on weekdays. With 67.4% of staff turning over each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, that thin coverage is coming from a constantly changing workforce. The county runs the place, and its inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $68,471. The last inspection was in January 2025, so the record is current. Quality scores look decent, but staffing is where the risk sits.
