At Utah's middle nursing home, one nurse aide is on duty for every 10.9 residents at an average hour; the middle half of its nursing homes run from 9.4 to 12.3. Day shifts have more staff on the floor and nights fewer, so a day-shift aide usually has fewer residents than this and a night-shift one more. From what 96 nursing homes report to Medicare from their payroll (Oct 2026); Utah's nursing homes hiring here, home by home.

By the Utah hospitals' own reports to Medicare (in 2022 pay periods, its own and contract staff together, before benefits), nursing aide hours averaged $24.07 an hour across 32 hospitals, against $23.53 an hour across the US. The highest hospital averages: St Mark's Hospital in Salt Lake City ($30.97), Lone Peak Hospital in Draper ($30.30), University of Utah Hospital and Clinics in Salt Lake City ($26.12), Intermountain Medical Center in Murray ($24.35). An average over every hour, not one job's pay. Every Utah hospital.
