Assisted Living Communities in Salt Lake City, UT

"My friend likes how small Spring Gardens Midvale is and the number of people who came up and talked to her. I think if she did not think that she would need the memory care, she would have chosen that. They were very nice. I would give cleanliness a five. It was just an overall smaller facility, which appealed to my friend a little bit more. I think she'll do better in a larger facility when she comes out of her shell because she's a very gregarious person, but she's been kind of pulling away from people. They worked around my food issues, so I appreciate that. My friend was one of those people who eats all day, and they were very good about boxing up her leftovers for her."

"I toured Escalante at Coventry. The community was clean and pleasant, and the young lady who toured me around was very professional and did a wonderful job. I would recommend it. All the rooms were delightful and great. The room I saw for one person was very adequate. They also had another room with two bedrooms and a living room, which would be very adequate for a couple. The dining area was wonderful. Everything about it was great. They're in the middle of construction on the foyer to go into the place, so you have to take a side door and park on one side or the other, and there's construction going on. Other than that, without it, it would have been tremendous."

"My dad moved to Legacy House of Taylorsville. They are very nice. They are very inclusive, and they are very hospitable. It's clean. The atmosphere is good. All the staff are nice and sweet. I've seen the food and it looks good. They have a ton of stuff going on for the month. You can have a dog come. They have bingo. They have card games. They have all sorts of stuff going on all the time, and they include everybody."

"We like everything about Sunrise of Sandy. They seemed to have a really nice facility. They have nice decor and furnishings and tons of activities. The amount of care and levels of care that they offer, like you can get more if you need it or less if you need it. We didn't really have much we didn't like. The lady who gave the tour was super, super helpful and very knowledgeable. The building was very clean and we liked the structure. There are railings on every wall. The rooms were really nice. It felt like a really homey place."

"I toured Legacy House of South Jordan's assisted living. They have really nice facilities and lots of activities. I met a few staff members, and they're very courteous and kind. It's good-looking, and a really nice building. They had a very nice front room with a fireplace and a really nice dining area. I also saw their little fitness gym."

"I like that Cedarwood at Sandy is going to be close to family. Their food is excellent and their two-bedroom apartment is very large. They also have little cottages. Their rooms were the largest two-bedroom ones we saw. The upkeep was excellent. Their dining area was nice."

"My friend will go to Crescent Senior Living. She has Parkinson's, and there is a distinct possibility of her losing memory as she gets older, and that has the memory care unit attached to it, so she wouldn't have to move as far. We did the assisted living because that's where she would be going. I liked the wide halls. The staff was great. It was beautiful. It was a full meal that I had, and what I appreciated was that I had some fairly restrictive dietary needs, and they were very good about it. The chef came out to talk to us, and they did a very nice job there."

"We went to Copper Creek Senior Living. It was a nice new facility. It was very open, bright, and cheery. The person who gave the tour was very engaged, upbeat, and cheerful. They had physical therapy and hospice onsite, and I think they also had a dentist that came in periodically onsite. There was a beauty salon and an outdoor patio."

"I toured Valencia at Draper. They have a lot of things going on to help keep the patients busy doing things to keep them happy. The rooms are pretty good. I thought that the studio apartment is a little small, but under the circumstances and depending on what you're going to do with it, it's still OK. The place was well kept. The dining area was good, well kept, and it had plenty of room. The staff members were great. They were very attentive. They stayed with us the whole time and answered any questions that we had. You couldn't ask for better people to ask questions and to help you with whatever you needed."

"My mother is in Spring Gardens Draper. They were very open and congenial to work with. We found a room that was a studio but seemed oversized, which made it convenient for her to set up with her furniture. We did add a wardrobe closet for her in addition to the closet that was there, and that works well. She gets attentive assistance whenever she requests it to help her go to the bathroom or to take her down to the dining room for dinner. They are consistent in cleaning her room every week. They have daily entrees, which are unique, but they also have a side menu that you can order from at any time which includes hamburgers, salads, cheese sandwiches, alternate menu choices if someone doesn't like what the main course is. I think the activities are excellent."

"My mom will be moving into Legacy House of Bountiful. We chose it because she wanted a wider variety of food and a different atmosphere. She likes that it's a bit smaller without being too small, and she felt treated so well when she was on her tour. She felt like they listened to her concerns. Their property is gorgeous. The inside, the rooms, the fish tanks, and the common areas were just gorgeous and very classy. They offer a wide variety of food and times that you can get the food, and I like that their mail delivery is more private. She liked the variety of room sizes. They weren't all cookie-cutter. They've got super friendly staff. It's a very lovely facility. They let the people who are there vote and do add-ons to their menu. They're big on letting the residents have a choice of favorites to make sure that they're meeting their needs."

"We went to Sagewood at Daybreak. It was the nicest community we visited. They had really good food. The people said hi to the staff as we walked through, so evidently they're friendly and welcoming. The only reason we didn't choose that one was that it was farther away from our children, and it was very expensive. Nevertheless, the facility was clean, nice, neat, and very new."

"We visited Creekside Senior Living in Bountiful for my daughter-in-law's mother, and she will be moving into their assisted living. It's very classy, very well cared for, and very open and spacious. The staff is also incredibly friendly. The activities that I have observed personally as we were interacting and moving some things a couple of days ago were card playing, people just visiting, and ping-pong. They have all kinds of things, like the reading room they have, and everyone seemed to be very happy. We met random people in the halls, and they were friendly. It just seems like a really nice place. I haven't tasted the food myself, but it smells wonderful, and the dining room is very spacious. Everyone seems to be very satisfied, so I would rate the entire facility very highly. The location is also very lovely because it's very secluded, with lots of trees, and just kind of a nice little quiet neighborhood in Bountiful."

"This is a small facility, sixteen resident capacity, and the facility itself is not overly beautiful or anything, but this facility has a lot of heart. I've rarely seen a facility that puts as much emphasis on family then this one does. The staff bends over backwards to accommodate family visits, even if they aren't at the best times. They also invite family to all the parties and get togethers and encourage family participation. I've never visited this facility without seeing at least two or three different residents with visitors at any given time, and they're always talking and laughing and generally just having a good time. I also always see children there visiting their grandparents or great grandparents. They literally just light the place up. "
