Utah: CMS Rating Breakdown
Utah operates 97 CMS-certified nursing homes, according to current federal data. The state's average Five-Star overall rating stands at 3.35 of 5 stars. The facilities break down by ownership type as follows: 68 for-profit operations, 7 nonprofit facilities, and 22 government-run homes.
The Five-Star rating system, while useful as a broad indicator of nursing home quality across a state, has documented limitations and should not be interpreted as a definitive assessment of any individual facility's performance. A statewide average rating reflects overall trends rather than serving as a verdict on specific homes. When making decisions about nursing home care, individuals and families should consult each facility's dedicated per-facility pages and review its live Care Compare profile directly. The Five-Star rating does not constitute medical, financial, or legal advice.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.
