Nursing homes across Utah County, Utah, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
The state-run veterans home in Payson runs nurse staffing at 5.69 hours per resident day, roughly 47% above the national figure, with weekend coverage dipping about 9% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover of 33.7% sits well under the national 45.8%, which matters for continuity in a memory-care-heavy population. Against that, the current record carries 13 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was April 2026. Strong marks across CMS's health, quality, and staffing domains coexist here with real citations, so read the inspection details rather than the star averages.
Rocky Mountain Care - Maple Dell runs 76 certified beds in Payson under corporate for-profit ownership, and the inspection record is where the trouble sits. State surveyors have cited 80 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, and four tied to abuse. That last inspection was in August 2024, so the findings are recent, not old history.
Staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when families often visit. Turnover of 43.4% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the weak spot here.
Monument Healthcare American Fork runs high on nurse hours, 5.79 per resident day, roughly half again the national average, and that staffing shows up in a four-star CMS staffing rating and a five-star quality measure score. The problems sit elsewhere. Inspectors have logged 59 deficiencies, six of them involving actual harm or jeopardy and five tied to abuse, with a $35,437 fine on the books and a two-star health inspection rating. Weekend coverage drops about 19% below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 50%, above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people filling those generous hours keep changing. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so this record is current, not stale.
Pointe Meadows runs 99 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits below the national average, 3.68 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. Weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage, so a Saturday shift isn't the same as a Tuesday one. Staff turnover is 49.6%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means nearly half the nursing staff changes over in a year. The inspection record is clean where it matters most: 22 deficiencies on file, but none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. A B grade here reflects solid clinical quality measures and inspections against staffing you'd want to watch.
Orem Rehabilitation runs 3.45 nursing hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and care needs don't pause. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and seven tied to abuse, with a $38,357 fine and a May 2025 inspection that's still fairly recent. A 5/5 on quality measures sits alongside a 2/5 on inspections and 3/5 on staffing, which tells you the clinical metrics look better on paper than the survey history and weekend coverage suggest. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the picture.
Stonehenge Of Orem is a small for-profit home, 34 beds, limited liability ownership that changed hands within the past year, and its record on inspections is genuinely clean. Two deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, no abuse findings, and a March 2026 inspection that's still recent. Nurse staffing sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, just above the national average, though weekends run about 16% lighter than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. Turnover is 47.7%, slightly above the national figure, which matters more at a building this size where losing a few aides reshapes the whole floor. The care numbers look strong; the question is whether new ownership keeps them there.
Advanced Health Care Of Salem runs on unusually heavy staffing, 5.70 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and it backs that up with top marks on health inspections and quality measures. The catch is who's providing that care and for how long: annual turnover sits at 76.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekends run about 18% leaner than weekdays. Seven deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. For a 16-bed for-profit home last inspected in April 2024, the picture is a well-staffed building with a retention problem worth asking about directly.
Stonehenge of Springville is owned by a hospital district, which is unusual in this space, and its most recent inspection in March 2025 gave surveyors enough to record 13 deficiencies, one involving actual harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse. That's the part worth sitting with. The quality measure scores look strong, but those come from resident assessments the home reports itself, while the staffing picture is thinner than it appears: 3.64 nurse hours per resident day sits below the national average, weekends run about a tenth lighter than weekdays, and roughly half the staff turns over each year. Strong marks on paper, real questions underneath.
Cascades At Orchard Park sits in Orem with 52 certified beds and a for-profit LLC owner. The inspection side looks solid, a four-star health inspection rating and a recent survey in March 2025, but the current record still carries 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus about $12,000 in fines.
Staffing is where the numbers get thin. At 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, it runs roughly 15% under the national average, weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday levels, and turnover hits 73.8% against a national 45.8%. That combination, decent surveys, shaky staffing retention, is worth asking about directly before you decide.
Stonehenge Of American Fork runs 119 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its overall nurse staffing sits at 3.94 hours per resident day, just slightly above the national figure of 3.86. That thin margin narrows further on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 14% below what the home staffs during the week. Annual turnover of 62% is well above the national 45.8%, meaning many of the people providing that care are relatively new to the building. Inspections from July 2025 produced a four-star health inspection rating, but the current record also carries 16 deficiencies, two at the harm level, one tied to abuse, and a $21,590 fine.
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.
Mission At Alpine Rehabilitation Center is a 52-bed nonprofit home in Pleasant Grove that federal regulators have placed in the Special Focus Facility program, the designation CMS reserves for the homes it considers among the poorest performers in the country. The inspection record explains why: 44 deficiencies, eight serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, seven tied to abuse, and $125,737 in fines across two actions. Staffing sits at 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, with weekends about 12% thinner than weekdays and turnover at 65.1% against a national 45.8%. The quality measure stars look strong, but that's what families see on paper; the staffing and inspection numbers are what happen on the floor.
Provo Rehabilitation and Nursing runs 220 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, essentially the national average, though weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday level. The bigger issue is what inspectors keep finding: 75 deficiencies on the current record, 27 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $82,617. Staff turnover hits 54.5% against a national 45.8%, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. A 1/5 inspection rating and a last visit in October 2024 tell you the oversight is ongoing.
