Richfield is a midsize town nestled in the Fish Lake Mountains in Sevier County, Utah.

There are only two assisted living facilities in the area, and just one is within Richfield city limits. 

Utah provides assisted living facility licenses to two types of residences through the Department of Health, Facility Licensing and Certification. Type I facilities must provide care and services to at least two residents who are capable of exiting the building without assistance. Type II facilities provide services and care 24 hours a day to residents who are able to exit the building with the aid of one person.
