What to Consider About Assisted Living in Orem
The combination of family-friendly neighborhoods and proximity to towns like Provo and Salt Lake City helped propel Orem to number 14 on Time’s Best Places to Live list for 2017. Of the sprawling city’s 97,893 residents, just 8.9 percent are aged 65 years and older, but those seniors have access to more than 50 assisted living facilities, or ALFs.
As per state regulations, ALFs in Orem are divided into two categories: type I, which includes more mobile residents, and type II, which offers extended services to residents with more advanced cognitive or physical disabilities. Both types are overseen by the Utah Department of Health.
