    Compassionate staff and enjoyable stay

    I had a very good experience - the staff were consistently friendly, caring, and kept me in the loop; the nurses and physical therapists were outstanding and genuinely went out of their way to help. There are lots of activities, friendly residents, and I appreciated my private room plus use of the dining area for a private event. I'm grateful for the compassionate care and would recommend this Medicaid-approved facility for an enjoyable stay.

    Summary of reviews

    Overall impression: Reviews present a mixed picture. Several families praised therapy services and individual caregivers, while others raised repeated operational concerns that suggest inconsistent delivery of care and uneven management oversight.

    Care quality and safety: The facility receives consistent positive feedback for physical and occupational therapy, and many reviewers identified specific nursing assistants and nurses who provided attentive, helpful care. At the same time, other accounts describe delayed clinical responses (including slow emergency transfers), lapses in basic care tasks, and issues with medication administration. Collectively these indicate variability in day-to-day clinical reliability: some residents experience effective rehabilitation and attentive support, whereas others experienced delays or procedural gaps that families found serious.

    Staff and communication: Staff interactions are described in two distinct ways. Numerous reviewers singled out compassionate, communicative caregivers and nursing staff who kept families informed. Conversely, a sizable number of reviews point to poor communication from leadership, difficulty reaching staff or the front desk, defensive staff responses, and inconsistent family updates. These patterns suggest strengths at the frontline caregiver level that are undermined at times by weak supervisory communication and limited administrative responsiveness.

    Dining and nutrition: Dining experiences were frequently described as inconsistent. Positive comments are less common than negative ones: reviewers described cold meals, repetitive or unappealing cuisine, and delays or failures in providing prescribed dietary accommodations (for example, low-sodium or lactose substitutions). Therapy staff were praised more often than kitchen services.

    Activities and social environment: Activity programming received favorable remarks in several reviews; residents and families noted available events and friendly social interactions among residents. Some families also appreciated private dining spaces for gatherings. These elements appear to be a relative strength of the facility.

    Facilities and housekeeping: Physical plant issues were noted alongside acceptable areas. Reviewers referenced an older building, slow elevators, active construction on upper floors, and some unfinished or temporarily unavailable spaces. Cleanliness and sanitation were recurring concerns in multiple reviews, including inconsistent housekeeping, odor concerns in some areas, and gym cleanliness. Room configurations and frequent room moves were a common operational complaint, with many families describing cramped/semi-private arrangements.

    Management, administration, and documentation: Several reviewers described administrative problems such as paperwork and insurance coordination errors, misplaced personal or legal documents, premature or confusing discharge planning, and billing or self-pay disputes. There are also comments about limited on-site medical oversight (comments about a small medical team covering the facility) and gaps in care-transition processes (hospital information not fully reviewed, incomplete lab follow-up). These administrative patterns compound clinical and safety concerns when they occur.

    Notable patterns and recommendation: The dominant themes are variability and inconsistency. Strengths include effective therapy services, pockets of compassionate caregiving, and active programming. Weaknesses cluster around communication from leadership, staffing reliability, housekeeping consistency, meal service, and administrative controls. Prospective residents and families should consider an in-person visit focusing on current staffing levels and clinical coverage, call-response procedures, sample menus and dietary-accommodation processes, housekeeping schedules, and how the facility manages transitions and resident belongings. Reviewing the facility’s recent inspection results and asking for examples of care-plan follow-through may help evaluate whether the facility’s strengths align with a prospective resident’s needs.

    About City Creek Post Acute

    City Creek Post Acute sits in Salt Lake City, Utah, and serves about 57 residents each day in a building with 108 certified beds, and the place mainly focuses on post-acute care and rehabilitation for seniors who need skilled nursing, short-term rehab, or long-term care, so people go there to recover or get daily help if they can't live safely on their own anymore. The staff includes nurses who provide care day and night, and there's a nurse turnover rate of 59.3%, which is a bit higher than what you see in other Utah facilities, and the nurse staffing hours are lower than the state average with about 3.63 hours per resident each day. The facility has specialized programs for folks who need advanced care, like dementia services and rehabilitation, and works with other rehab centers as part of a bigger network. Residents have access to private or semi-private rooms, well-maintained grounds, laundry and housekeeping services, and activities meant to help them stay active, along with meal options made from quality ingredients, and the indoor and outdoor dining spaces give people choices when it comes to where they want to eat together. The building includes modern therapy areas for rehabilitation and common spaces for gathering, so people don't feel like they're always alone. In terms of oversight, City Creek Post Acute has had 18 documented deficiencies in inspection reports, including three related to infection control and others linked to resident safety and proper care for those with bladder or bowel needs; none resulted in actual harm, but surveyors saw the potential for more than minimal harm and the most recent standard inspection on January 29, 2024, turned up two deficiencies. Avenues Healthcare, Inc. manages City Creek Post Acute, with Soon Burnam and Kc Ellis also listed in control since May 2016, and the facility's also been affiliated with The Ensign Group. Staff aims to provide a clean and comfortable place for recovery, and the therapy team uses hands-on approaches in their state-of-the-art spaces. City Creek Post Acute keeps its day-to-day fairly straightforward, helping people with basic needs and offering care that focuses on medical recovery and daily living support.
