The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Lehi, UT for 2024

Lehi is a fast-growing city of nearly 76,000 people in north-central Utah. While the city has a very small senior community that makes up less than 6% of residents, it offers a range of benefits to those seeking long-term care, including a comfortable climate, low crime rates and numerous agencies and programs that help older adults find the best assisted living options for their needs. While the overall cost of living is high, this is mainly due to high housing costs, which seniors can avoid by opting for residential care.

Assisted living is ideal for seniors who need assistance throughout the day with activities, such as housekeeping, meal preparation and personal care. This residential long-term care option features individualized care plans and social and recreational activities, and many provide three meals daily. On average, seniors in Lehi pay $3,695 per month for this level of care. This exceeds the state norm of $3,500, but it offers significant monthly savings over the national average of $4,500.

Through this guide, readers can learn about some of the most common ways Lehi seniors pay for assisted living. This guide also outlines some of the top resources for local seniors.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lehi

The Utah Department of Health & Human Services, Division of Licensing and Background Checks, licenses assisted living facilities in Lehi, as well as the rest of Utah. This agency conducts comprehensive background screenings on direct care staff and regular on-site inspections, and it ensures assisted living facilities meet building and safety standards.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lehi

  • The air quality in Lehi is relatively poor, which may impact the health and comfort of seniors living with cardiovascular or respiratory conditions. The American Lung Association gives Utah County, where Lehi is located, a passing score for annual particle pollution but failing grades for 24-hour particle pollution and ozone pollution. To reduce health risks this may pose to vulnerable seniors, assisted living facilities host indoor activities year-round, and many have air purification systems.
  • Lehi’s overall cost of living is high compared to the state norm, and it’s 20% higher than the national average. Miscellaneous expenses, such as restaurant meals, clothing and repair services, are a little high here compared to a typical U.S. city, but high housing costs are primarily what makes this city an expensive option for seniors. Assisted living may be a good solution for budget-conscious seniors who want to live in Lehi.
  • Compared to national norms, Lehi’s property and violent crime rates are low, which may appeal to active seniors considering this community for long-term care. On a 100-point index, the city scores 11.4 for violent crime and 21.7 for property crime, which is well below respective national norms of 22.7 and 35.4.
  • Lehi is one of the warmer places to live in Utah, which may appeal to those who enjoy relaxing outdoors. Summers are very warm with daytime temperatures in the 90s, but days with noticeable humidity are rare. Spring and autumn are mild with highs in the 50s and 60s, and winters are chilly with daytime temperatures around 40 degrees. The city gets 15 inches of annual rainfall and 33 inches of snow.
  • Lehi only has about 111 doctors per capita, nearly half the national norm, and health care costs trend about 4% higher than in a typical U.S. city. Even so, Mountain Point Medical Center is located in the city proper, and many assisted living facilities provide telemedicine services to support convenient access to care.
  • In Utah, all forms of retirement income, including Social Security benefits, are fully taxed. However, seniors can claim a small credit to reduce what they pay.
