"My friend is here. It's a beautiful place, it's new, and she loves it. She is also close to her old friends, so she's really happy there. She's been there since February 3, and she's doing really, really well. She has a bedroom, a front room, a little kitchenette, and a beautiful bathroom. They have all kinds of activities during the day, like watching movies, playing bingo, and playing other games. They have church activities, too. She goes down every day to have her breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well. It's a great place."

"This is a really wonderful place, It offers her the freedom of independent living with her own pseudo apartment (Similar to a Motel, no stove, laundry etc...) It's wonderful she has her privacy, but they still care for her with checkins, a paging system (LifeAlert)for emergencys. Food preparation for all meals with choices of entrees, and the option to dine in her apartment, or in the restaurant style dining room. They have group activities, and transportation to and from stores on a scheduled basis. This is amazing for her to still maintain independence but get the assistance she needs. "

"I visited Sunrise at Sandy. I thought the rooms were quite small. "

"My grandma is at Legacy Retirement of South Jordan. She's only been there for three months and likes it, so far. They clean her apartment because that's what she wants. The people there are very nice, which is why she ended up going there; so many people went out of their way when we were doing the tours to come over and say hi. She uses their transportation to get to doctors' appointments, which is is super helpful for family members. Their dining area is gorgeous. "

"I like Cedarwood at Sandy very much. It's not quite what I was looking for, but they were very friendly, and it's very well set up. They have quite a bit going on as far as crafts and things like that. The rooms were very nice. The staff who gave the tour was sweet. They have a garden area and the people who live there take care of it. They have a garden club, too."

"It is very nice, it's very bright, and filled with light.The staff is very friendly and helpful. My parents are the first clients in the place. I think they have some kind of exercise room, and my experience with them has been very good. The dining room is spacious."

"It was brand new. There's a fantastic art program there. There were nice facilities for families coming in. They had a nice, separate dining room area for the residents. There was a nice outdoor deck and patio. The rooms were topnotch. They had a keyless entry system and monitors, so they knew where the residents were all the time. The staff was excellent. They had a piano in the hall, big closets, and washers and dryers in each room. It was a very nice facility."

"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."

"Spring Gardens Draper was a beautiful facility. It was very nice and I learned a lot of information that I didn't know before. The rooms were very nice. The woman I toured with was extremely helpful. She gave me a lot of information and she was very attentive. She listened well. I was impressed with their activities. They have a little art gallery thing where they have someone come in and teach people how to paint and stuff, and I was really impressed with that. They also had a sewing area where if people like to quilt, they could do that, so they had some really unique things to do. They just don't give transportation to the senior center that my friend is interested in."

"I did a tour of Legacy House of Bountiful. They were very informative, and very kind. They answered our questions. It looks like for someone who needs assisted living, they provide a social network. They have an in-house doctor, and the apartments were nice and clean; I was impressed. They give you all the facts right up front; they give you a brochure with the breakdown of the costs, so you know exactly what you're looking at. It's a friendly environment. The staff all seems to know each other and know the residents. So, in particular, that one I like because they have a pet, which is a big plus for my dad. They're allowed to have dogs and they actually have a house dog that can go around. They have three different rooms. You can do a single bedroom, a double bedroom, or a studio, and you can also pick which floor you're on so you can keep costs down a little bit if you want to, but if you want to pay a little bit more for a nicer room, you can. The thing that really is important to me, is that the wheelchair can literally roll right into the shower. They have a microwave in the room, and if they want to keep snacks and warm them up, they can. If somebody were really, really sick, it may not be the place for them, but for someone who didn't have a lot of medical needs, I would rate it a five. I mostly interacted with the office manager, but she was great. On food, I didn't really get to taste any of it or really see it, but they have options for every meal, which I like. There are only certain things I was looking for, but for the guys looking for that, everywhere was very wheelchair accessible. There were elevators everywhere. It was clean, it was up kept. I think some facilities are a little bit newer, but that doesn't really matter to me. It was well cared for, and it was very accessible with a wheelchair. They had a really nice dining room, a nice theater room, and gym; they have these things that you would want."

"We toured Sagewood at Daybreak for my husband, and it was a beautiful facility. The rooms were very nice -- I guess they're called apartments -- and it was very well decorated and spacious. I don't know if it was due to the time that we got there, because it was fairly early, but I didn't see a lot of interaction between the caregivers or the staff and the patients. Maybe it was because we were there at breakfast time and they were eating breakfast. The person who gave us the tour was wonderful. She gave us all the information we needed and broke down what the plan would be, and it was very nice. The place was pretty homey and very spacious."

"We toured Creekside Senior Living twice for my parents. It was absolutely beautiful. The staff was friendly, and the gentlemen who gave us both tours were fabulous. We were very, very happy. They had movies, gym, and activities outside in the courtyard. Once Covid is over, they will have a lot of other activities. It was very impressive."

"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. "

"My mother has been a resident for over a year. It is beautiful and always clean and welcoming. The staff is friendly and supportive. The residents feel like they are part of a large family, or at least feel like they have friends there and they are cared about. Only drawback is that things get "lost" in the memory care unit (understandable) but the staff doesn't keep track of important things (glasses, hearing aids) so they can be missing for hours or days until a family member notices...
