Utah Assisted Living Regulations and Records

We developed a system to rate each state on how easy – or difficult – it is to find important assisted living records and reports, and compiled tips to help you in your search.

States with the most transparent records allow you to look up important information about each assisted living facility online, including inspections, complaints, survey results, violations, capacity, and whether the facility accepts Medicaid.

Let our care assessment guide you

Public access to assisted living records and reports for the state of Utah is basic. Key findings that informed this rating include:

• In Utah mandatory assisted living inspections occur once every three years.
• No information about inspections, complaints, or survey results is available to consumers online.

• Visit the State of Utah page: Health Facility Information for general information.
• Vist the US Administration on Aging’s Eldercare Locator to locate the appropriate long-term-care ombudsman who can often provide specific information about communities and their backgrounds.
• If you need to make a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to get records, consider browsing the state-by-state resources from the National Freedom of Information Coalition, which includes sample state-specific FOIA letters.
