Our read on Paramount Health And Rehabilitation

Paramount Health and Rehabilitation is a 99-bed for-profit home in Salt Lake City, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 11 percent leaner than weekdays, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 36 percent is better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for consistency of care. What weighs heaviest is the inspection record: a one-star health inspection rating, 31 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $119,012 in fines, with the last inspection in May 2024. The five-star quality measure score doesn't cancel that out.
