How many Utah facilities offer memory care?
140 of 332 (about 3 in 7) licensed facilities in Utah offer memory care, going by what the state's register records (a secured unit, secured beds or a dementia endorsement, whichever the state uses).
Memory care is care for someone living with dementia, in a setting built to keep them safe. Ask any community how its memory care is staffed and secured.
How many Utah facilities had a citation in the last year?
Of the 328 facilities in Utah matched to Utah DLBC's inspection record, 224 were inspected in the 12 months to September 29, 2026, and 80 of those received at least one citation.
The median time since a facility's most recent inspection was about 8 months as of September 29, 2026, across the 321 facilities with an inspection on file.
A citation is the more serious of the two notices Utah issues for a rule out of compliance. The lesser one, a warning, is not published by the state, so nothing on this record is at that level. These are counts from the public record and say nothing about any one facility: each listing shows its own record, with what was found and, where the state reports it, whether it was corrected.
4 facilities are not yet matched to the state's inspection record and are not counted in these figures.
Where these numbers come from
Facility counts, types, beds and memory care come from the Utah DHHS licensed health care facility register; the newest entry on file was added October 28, 2026. Inspection figures come from Utah DLBC's public inspection record; the most recent inspection on file is dated September 29, 2026, and the 12 months end there. Every published licensed facility is counted, and no one pays to be listed or counted.
