What to Consider About Assisted Living in Draper

The Utah Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Licensing and Background Checks, monitors and licenses assisted living facilities in the Draper region as well as in the rest of Utah. It publishes up-to-date information on licensed assisted living facilities throughout the state. It also has a complaint hotline, which individuals can reach at (801) 538-4242.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Draper

  • On an index based on a national cost of living norm of 100, Draper rates 141, indicating that it’s a relatively expensive place to live. Housing costs in this city are more than double national norms, but other expenses such as groceries and utilities come in a little below the nationwide average. Moving to assisted living may let seniors avoid high housing-related costs and minimize unexpected expenses.
  • Utah is one of the few states in the nation that taxes Social Security benefits for all recipients, regardless of their income. Draper seniors also pay state income taxes on other types of retirement income, though those receiving pension income can claim a credit of up to $450 to reduce what they pay in state taxes.
  • The air quality in the Draper region is very poor, with data from the American Lung Association showing an above-average number of high-ozone and high-particle days. While the city gets a satisfactory score for annual particle pollution levels, it receives the lowest grades possible for ozone and 24-hour particle pollution levels. However, many assisted living facilities have air purification systems, helping residents stay safe and comfortable indoors.
  • Property crime occurs at a similar rate in Draper as in the nation as a whole, with the city rating 39.6 on a 100-point crime index compared to the national rating of 35.4. However, violent crime is rare in this community. The city earns a rating of 12.5 for this type of crime, about 10 points below the U.S. average. This may make the city an appealing option for active retirees.
  • Draper sees about 229 days of sunshine annually compared to the national norm of 205, and average year-round temperatures range from 21 degrees in the winter to 93 degrees in the summer. These temperatures are several degrees higher than the state norm, indicating Draper is one of the warmest places to live in Utah. Many assisted living facilities have indoor and outdoor amenities and activities, helping seniors stay comfortable and active year-round.

      Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Draper

      Utah, in cooperation with the federal Medicaid program, offers two need-based waivers to low-income seniors.
