BEAVER VALLEY HOSPITAL

Ownership rollup across 5 nursing homes in 1 state: Utah. The "follow the money" view of an operator’s whole portfolio — the pattern a single facility page can’t show.

Insights

The chain’s homes average 2.2 of 5 stars on the CMS overall rating — about 1.1 stars below the ~3.3 average of its state. A whole portfolio rating below its own states’ norm is a pattern worth researching, not a single-home fluke. It is improving: across the same 5 homes rated throughout, the average rose 0.20 stars between 2025-02 and 2026-06. We benchmark against its own states because CMS ranks the health-inspection star within each state, so a national comparison (national average ~3.0) partly measures where a chain operates rather than how it operates.

Where the rating comes from

The CMS overall star blends three different things. Split apart across the whole portfolio, they say different things about an operator: thin staffing is a budget decision made above the building, while a weak inspection score is what surveyors actually found inside it.

Averaged across this chain’s rated homes. Health-inspection stars are assigned within each state’s own distribution, so for a chain spanning several states this component mixes distributions and is best read alongside each home’s actual citations.

Portfolio red flags

How many of this chain’s homes carry the most serious CMS markers. One flagged home can be local; a pattern across the portfolio is an operator-level signal worth researching.

Follow the money — chain finances

Aggregated from each home’s CMS Medicare cost report (HCRIS). Related-party payments are dollars a home sends to landlords or management companies under common ownership — the main channel through which private-equity and REIT owners can pull money out of a home while its own books still show a thin margin.

Only homes with a cost report on file are included, so the related-party total is a floor. Cost reports are self-filed, unaudited, and a year or two behind.

Every home in this chain

Lowest-rated first, so the homes most worth a closer look sit at the top. Each links to its full inspection, staffing, fines, and ownership record.

Read this as a floor, not a verdict. CMS chain and ownership data is known to under-report private-equity and REIT ties, and a low chain average can hide strong individual homes (or vice-versa). Use it to know which questions to ask — then read each home’s actual inspection record and confirm current ownership with your state licensing agency.
