Uintah Basin Rehabilitation And Senior Villa sits in Roosevelt, Utah, inside Uintah Basin Medical Center, and folks looking for a place with a range of care can find assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing here, all under the same roof, which helps people stay even if their needs change over time. The Villa offers a lot of certified beds-90 total, with about 68 people living there now and usually around 45 present each day-so there's often space available, whether for short stays or longer ones, and families can pick among private, shared, or studio units, each with safe room features like call buttons, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms. The building's fully sprinklered and folks with small pets are welcome, with both shared and private units available, which is something some seniors really like, and the occupancy rate stays around 76%.
Care here covers a lot: people get regular health checks from a doctor, 24-hour nurse supervision, and help with things like bathing, eating, dressing, and transferring from the bed or chair; there's also medication management and incontinence care, so a wide range of needs get met. The Villa can help people who can't walk on their own, and there's support for diabetes management, wound care, and even a Wound Care Center that offers hyperbaric medicine, plus a rehabilitation gym of about 2,500 square feet for folks recovering from surgery or needing physical or occupational therapy. Psychosocial and memory care programs work toward reducing loneliness, helplessness, and boredom, and staff run scheduled activities, arts and crafts, game nights, music programs, birthday parties, and outings, so there's always something to do if someone wants to join in. Residents can enjoy an on-site exercise room, movie theater, art room, outdoor walking paths, gardens, a community library, common rooms, and places for group activities, which people seem to appreciate, especially on days when weather's nice.
The nursing home is county-owned and managed by Uintah Basin Medical Center Inc, with Chelise Jessen in charge since 2016. Staff numbers break out to about 2.41 hours from CNAs, 0.55 hours from LPNs, and 0.85 hours from RNs per resident each day, which is a bit below the state average for nursing hours; the turnover rate for nurses here is 43.6%, which is lower than average. Most long-stay residents get offered both flu shots and pneumonia vaccines, and the place follows Medicare and Medicaid rules, accepting payments from each program. The dining service runs all day with restaurant-style, chef-prepared meals, and residents can get special diets if they need something allergy-sensitive or diabetes-friendly. Housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning are all routine.
Residents and their families have councils to help with communication and support. For relatives coming to visit, there's parking available. Staff can help with move-in coordination and answer questions during tours. The facility's had health inspections, some with deficiencies noted in food procurement, storage, and care planning, but the Villa continues aiming to meet the state and federal requirements. People who come here might be here for the short-term rehab after a hospital stay, memory and dementia care, or because they need help with daily living over the long haul. Amenities include open living areas, picture windows, secure grounds, transportation, and an emergency alert system, making sure folks feel comfortable, safe, and cared for as they age or heal.
