Nursing homes across Salt Lake County, Utah, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Cascades At Riverwalk runs on thin nurse staffing for a 120-bed home, 3.77 hours per resident day sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters more than the headline number, since care doesn't pause on Saturdays. Staff turnover is 55%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people at the bedside keep changing. The inspection record shows 39 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a single fine of $23,829. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results pull the other way. A recent November 2025 inspection helps, though it doesn't erase the pattern.
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.
Alpine Meadow runs on 2.54 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop another 12% under its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families are most likely to visit. Staff turnover sits at 66.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The current record carries 22 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and six tied to abuse, with one fine of $15,025 and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. City/county ownership is unusual here, and quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection numbers are what a family should weigh.
Neurorestorative runs 64 certified beds in Riverton under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers cut both ways. Raw nurse coverage of 7.10 hours per resident day sits well above the national figure, but weekends drop roughly 10% below the home's own weekday level, and CMS scored staffing just 2 out of 5. Annual turnover of 48.4% edges past the national average. The quality measure score is a perfect 5, yet the inspection record tells a harder story: 17 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $97,796. The most recent inspection was November 2024. Strong quality metrics and heavy direct care hours coexist here with serious regulatory findings, worth asking about directly.
Rocky Mountain Care - Riverton runs 40 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its overall nurse staffing sits at 4.02 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average. But the shape of that coverage matters: weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday level, and staff turnover hits 53.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing care keep changing.
The current record shows 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, with six fines totaling $33,212. The last inspection was September 26, 2024. CMS gives the home 5 stars on quality measures but only 2 on staffing, and its inspection record landed at 3.
What you're looking at is a small nonprofit that scores well on clinical measures while carrying real compliance history and a thin weekend bench.
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.
Monument Healthcare Murray Creek runs 184 certified beds in Millcreek under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in two directions. Its quality measure rating is perfect, but that same record carries 50 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $120,948, and the most recent inspection was June 2025. Nurse staffing sits just under the national average at 3.82 hours per resident day, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover, at 42.2%, is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection side is the part worth asking hard questions about.
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.
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.
Millcreek Rehabilitation and Nursing is a 61-bed county-owned home in Salt Lake City, and its inspection record is the first thing you'd want to look at. Twenty-nine deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and four tied to abuse. The health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, with a $25,441 fine on the books and a survey completed in late March 2025.
Staffing is the other weak spot. At 2.25 nurse hours per resident per day, it runs about 42% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 13% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover of 52.4% exceeds the national figure, and the staffing rating lands at 2 out of 5.
Meadow Brook runs on a knife's edge with staffing, and the numbers show it. Total nurse coverage sits just under the national average, but weekends drop roughly 19% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 77.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new to the building. The inspection record is the harder problem: 59 deficiencies on file, 8 of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and 9 tied to abuse, with a $31,331 fine attached. A recent inspection in November 2025 and a government-hospital-district owner don't erase that pattern.
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.
Monument Healthcare South Salt Lake is a 140-bed hospital-district home that the federal government has flagged for its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent compliance problems. The record backs that up: 57 deficiencies, nine of them serious enough to endanger residents, six tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $36,546. Its last inspection was in June 2025.
Nursing hours come in slightly under the national average, and weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays, when supervision is already stretched. The quality-measure score looks good on paper, but that number reflects resident assessments, not the day-to-day care and oversight problems regulators keep finding here. Staff turnover sits just above the national rate.
