Planning ahead — long-term care
Long-term care options for home-based and residential care.
+
Planning early matters. Whether you are looking at home-based care or eventual residential care, these are the starting points for Grand County families.
For home-based long-term care
Utah offers the Aging Waiver (HCBS), which allows eligible individuals age 65+ who meet nursing-facility level of care requirements to receive care at home instead of in a facility.
Important: These services typically do not exist in Grand County. Use this program as a starting point to determine eligibility for consideration of other locations.
Call the Utah Aging & Disability Resource Connection (ADRC):
The ADRC is Utah's main information-and-assistance line for older adults, caregivers, and people with disabilities. They help assess eligibility, explain current options, and guide next steps based on availability.
For residential long-term care
Grand County has extremely limited senior care infrastructure — no assisted-living options and little aging-in-place assistance. The single local long-term nursing home is:
Canyonlands Care Center
An extremely limited, 36 bed long-term nursing home with a current wait-list that is more than double the bed capacity.

Specialized care — hospice, dementia, veterans
Hospice care, dementia resources, and VA support for veterans and their caregivers.
+
Three areas where Grand County families most often need pointed guidance. We list the locally-relevant phone number and trusted national resources so you can get accurate, current information rather than guess.
Grand County Hospice — at Moab Regional Hospital
Hospice provides individualized physical, emotional, and spiritual care in the last phases of life — focused on managing symptoms and maximizing comfort. On-call nursing assistance is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Care can be provided in your home or place of residence, including Canyonlands Care Center. Most hospice services are fully covered by Medicare and Medicaid, as well as by many private insurance programs. Many families say they wish they had enrolled in hospice earlier.
For accurate, current information about who provides what — and to ask about eligibility, palliative care, and the difference between the two — call MRH and ask for hospice.
Moab Regional Hospital — ask for hospice: (435) 719-3500
mrhmoab.org/hospice →Dementia care — local + national
Dementia is the single condition where caregiving is hardest, the trajectory is most often misunderstood, and good early information matters most. In Grand County, the most directly useful first step is the Dementia Care Support Group at the Grand Center (2nd & 4th Wednesdays, 4:00 p.m.). For 24/7 information from clinicians on dementia at any stage — symptoms, behaviors, decisions, planning — the Alzheimer's Association helpline is the gold standard nationally and is staffed by master's-level clinicians.
Dementia Support Group (Moab): (435) 259-6623 (Grand Center)
Alzheimer's Association — 24/7 helpline: 1-800-272-3900
alz.org caregiving →VA — local clinic + caregiver support
If you are a veteran or caring for one, the VA has specific support programs that are routinely overlooked. The Moab VA clinic has a nurse case manager who can coordinate care and help navigate VA benefits. The national VA Caregiver Support Program offers education, peer support, and (for eligible veterans) financial stipends to family caregivers.
Moab VA Clinic — nurse case manager: (435) 268-7960 ext. 3950
VA Caregiver Support Line: 1-855-260-3274 (8 a.m.–10 p.m. ET Mon–Fri; 8 a.m.–5 p.m. ET Sat)
caregiver.va.gov →Planning the conversation — POLST, living will, health care agent
Most families wait too long to have these conversations. The Conversation Project provides free, plain-language conversation starter guides developed with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. Utah's POLST form (Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) is a portable medical order that travels with the patient — different from a living will, and far more clinically actionable in an emergency.
Local discussion: Your primary care doctor at MRH can help you complete a POLST form: (435) 719-3500
