Utah: CMS Rating Breakdown
Utah has 97 CMS-certified nursing homes with an average Five-Star overall rating of 3.35 out of 5, according to current official CMS figures. By ownership type, the state's nursing home sector comprises 68 for-profit facilities, 7 nonprofit facilities, and 22 government-operated homes.
The Five-Star rating system has documented limitations and should be understood as a broad indicator rather than a definitive assessment of any individual facility's quality. When evaluating specific nursing homes for care decisions, individuals should consult each facility's dedicated Care Compare profile on the CMS website, which provides detailed, facility-specific information. A state average rating does not serve as medical, financial, or legal advice and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for facility selection.
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.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
