What to Consider About Assisted Living in American Fork

American Fork is located just north of Utah Lake in Utah County. The city sits at the base of Mount Timpanogos, allowing seniors to enjoy mountain and lake views from one location. A city-managed senior center ensures senior residents have social activities available each day.

Seniors looking for assisted living facilities (ALFs) in American Fork have six ALF options in American Fork and 41 additional facilities in surrounding areas. All are licensed and regulated by the Utah Department of Health, Facility Licensing and Certification. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in American Fork

  • The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) serves American Fork. It runs along planned routes through the city and to adjoining areas. Seniors over the age of 65 are eligible for reduced fares on many routes.
  • The city has a crime index of 29, making it safer than just 29 percent of U.S. cities. However, seniors can take comfort in the fact that the violent crime rate in the area is well below the national average, leaving property crimes to make up the difference.
  • Seniors who love the snow will enjoy the 55-inch average that American Fork sees each year. Temperatures range from an average January low of 20 degrees to July highs averaging 91 degrees.
  • The American Fork area is home to world-class medical facilities, including American Fork Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • For seniors with air-quality sensitivities, it's important to note that Utah County received an F grade by the American Lung Association for average number of high-ozone and particle pollution days.
  • American Fork Seniors may struggle financially with a cost of living that's 18 percent higher than the national average. However, most of this inflation comes from housing costs, which are 68 percent higher than the U.S. average.

Paying for Assisted Living in American Fork

Assisted Living costs in American Fork start around $2,745 per month on average, while the nationwide average cost of assisted living is $4,000 per month, according to the latest figures from Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey.
