What each sub-rating measures

Size and setting
Located in Salt Lake City, Utah, this facility operates 92 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 84 residents - an occupancy rate of about 91%. The facility is classified under for profit - limited liability company ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. With occupancy around 91%, bed usage here sits in the range typical of a stabilized facility.
Same-ownership peers
Within Utah, Spring Creek Healthcare Center is one of 35 for profit - limited liability company nursing homes CMS rates. Its 2-star overall rating sits below the for profit - limited liability company-segment average of 3.6 stars, ahead of roughly 6% of same-ownership peers in the state. Comparing a facility against its own ownership segment holds the business model roughly constant, which helps isolate facility-level performance from the staffing and reinvestment patterns that differ across for-profit, non-profit, and government operators.
