Nursing homes across Washington County, Utah, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Southern Utah Veterans Home in Ivins runs on unusually heavy staffing, 5.79 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly half again as much hands-on care as the typical home. That shows up in the numbers that matter: weekend coverage dips only about 7% below weekdays, and annual turnover of 36.6% sits well under the 45.8% national rate, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Twelve deficiencies are on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. The one soft spot is inspection history, which lands mid-pack.
Advanced Health Care of St. George runs on a for-profit LLC model with 100 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the real story here, 5.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 48% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below the home's own weekday level, so families should ask how that gap gets managed. Turnover sits at 45%, essentially matching the national average of 45.8%, and the home carries eight deficiencies on its current record with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Its last inspection was May 2025, so the record is recent.
St. George Rehabilitation runs 99 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The 46% annual turnover rate is essentially the national figure, not an outlier in either direction. Inspectors logged 24 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three were abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was June 7, 2024. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspection results land in the middle.
Coral Desert Rehabilitation and Care sits at 60 beds in St. George, run by a for-profit corporation. The inspection side looks solid, a 4 out of 5 health inspection rating, a clean record of no abuse deficiencies and none at the harm level, and a recent survey from November 2024. Quality measures also score well. The problem is staffing: a 1 out of 5, with 47.1% annual turnover running slightly above the national 45.8%. Thirteen total deficiencies on record is a meaningful count even without any rising to actual harm. If your family member needs skilled nursing here, ask specifically about nurse and aide coverage on evenings and weekends, since that's where the weak staffing number shows up in daily life.
Seasons Healthcare and Rehabilitation sits in St. George with 53 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely decent, 17 deficiencies on file, none rising to harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent state visit in July 2024. Daily nurse coverage runs 4.32 hours per resident, roughly 12% above the national average. But two numbers complicate that picture: staff turnover hits 69.5% a year against a national norm near 46%, and weekend staffing drops about 19% below weekday levels. High churn and thinner weekend coverage can undermine consistent care even when raw staffing hours look strong. The one abuse-related deficiency is worth asking about directly.
Hurricane Health and Rehabilitation runs 60 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 55.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents are changing often and thinning out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, three serious enough to cause harm, plus two fines totaling $46,602; the last inspection was September 25, 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing consistency and the harm-level findings are the real story here.
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.
Red Cliffs runs 3.46 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday numbers. The bigger problem is who's still there to provide that care: annual turnover hits 73.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure. Inspectors have cited 63 deficiencies, 11 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, with a $153,114 fine and a June 2024 inspection on record. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's poorest performers. A for-profit LLC operates it.
