Our read on Canyonland Care Center

Canyonland Care Center is county-owned, and that shows in the numbers: 4.96 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average, with a 5-star staffing rating to match. Staff turnover is 21.6% against a national average near 46%, a workforce that mostly stays put, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels. The trouble sits in the inspection record. Seventeen deficiencies, two of them serious enough to risk harm, including five tied to abuse, and one fine of $11,193. Two stars worth of quality and health ratings don't erase that. Good staffing is the strength here; the survey history is what a family needs to ask about directly.
