Lodestone Eldercare Guide — Nursing-home data: CMS Care Compare. Utah state-licensed care: Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Division of Licensing and Background Checks (DLBC), Office of Licensing. Lodestone pulls every state-licensed Assisted Living Facility (Type I and Type II) from Utah's public Licensed Health Care Facilities feature service - the SGID dataset curated by the Utah Geospatial Resource Center (UGRC) from the DLBC Office of Licensing roster, retrieved 2026-06-30. We carry the home name, town, county, address, license number, licensed capacity, secured/dementia bed count, administrator, oversight agency, and contact, and report each name verbatim as Utah licenses it. Utah's licensing data carries a secured-bed count on each assisted-living home, so memory care is a real signal here (not a guess): we flag a home as offering memory care where it reports one or more secured/dementia beds, and we trust the field rather than guess from a home's name. Utah's Medicaid assisted-living benefit is the New Choices Waiver, but the roster carries no Medicaid-acceptance field, so Medicaid is a documented gap for the assisted-living tiers (nursing homes are Medicare/Medicaid-certified by definition). Adult day care is regulated separately and does not appear in this licensing layer, so it is a documented gap. Nursing homes and their accountability record (star rating, abuse icon, special-focus status, fines, coordinates) come from the federal CMS Care Compare file (state==UT), joined to Utah's secured-bed count by CMS certification number.
