Central Utah Veterans Home has been in Payson, Utah since 2013 and sits out on 1551 North Main Street where veterans and their families can find skilled nursing care. The facility has 108 nursing beds and keeps daily life comfortable with private rooms, quiet country views, and floor plans designed for each resident's needs. Only veterans, their spouses, and Gold Star Parents can live here, though veterans get the most help with care costs, especially if they have a 70% or higher service-connected disability, which covers the full cost, while those with less than 70% or without SCD get about $120 a day in help.
Staff here understand veterans' needs and use special names and programs just for them, drawing on experience with military culture. Services and features focus on well-being, including pain management, COPD care, post-stroke help, wound care, memory care, and long-term support. The rehab unit works with each person through physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and staff are ready for short-term rehab or long-term care depending on what's needed. Veterans get coordinated and personalized treatment plans, with special attention to diabetes management, medication handling, enteral nutrition, and IV needs, plus orthopedic and complex care when needed.
Daily life includes regular social, cultural, and recreational activities, so there's always something going on for folks to join. The dining program is known for good food, making meal times a positive and comfortable experience. The staff offer compassion and respect, helping each resident with dignity and supporting both body and mind.
Every service, from short-term respite stays to memory and rehab care, stays focused on veterans' unique situations. Central Utah Veterans Home belongs to the National Association of State Veterans Homes and operates under Avalon Health Care. The facility keeps strict standards and trains staff to deliver care with love and professionalism in a supportive environment meant to help veterans heal and thrive in their later years.
