Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Utah
Utah has 97 CMS-certified nursing homes listed in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The state's average overall rating stands at 3.35 of 5 stars across all facilities.
The Five-Star rating system is a relative quality measure with documented limitations. The ratings presented here reflect data current as of May 2026 and should not be interpreted as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. Each facility receives three separate star ratings: overall quality, health inspection performance, and staffing adequacy. These ratings provide a snapshot of comparative performance but represent only one factor in evaluating a nursing home.
Prospective residents and their families should weigh multiple considerations when selecting a facility. Location, the specific type of care required, an in-person visit to the facility, and direct conversations with clinical and administrative staff all play significant roles in the decision-making process. Before making any decision based on these ratings, individuals should confirm each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile, as ratings may be updated between publication cycles.
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.
