What to Consider About Assisted Living in Santaquin

Located approximately 70 miles south of Utah's state capital, Santaquin was named after the son of a local Native American chief. The small city is home to about 12,270 people, and only 5.6% of them are seniors. Despite the small senior population, there are eight assisted living facilities in the area. 

Licensed facilities in Santaquin and the rest of the state are regularly inspected by the Bureau of Health Facility Licensing, Certification and Resident Assessment.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Santaquin

  • Santaquin has an array of community resources for seniors, including Utah Valley Rides, a volunteer-run organization that provides low-cost transportation, as well as one senior center.
  • At 14.9% higher than the national average, Santaquin’s overall cost of living is relatively high. Housing, healthcare and transportation are all more expensive than the national norm. However, seniors may find savings in other areas. Groceries, for example, are 9% cheaper than the U.S. average.
  • Santaquin has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Nephi. 
  • Kiplinger recently ranked Utah among the top 10 least tax-friendly states for retirees. It’s one of the few states in the country that taxes Social Security benefits. Private pensions, public pensions and distributions from 401(k)s are all taxed. These tax policies may leave less room in Santaquin seniors’ assisted living budgets.
  • There are several entertainment options for Santaquin seniors. For outdoor fun, seniors can visit the Uintah-Wasatch-Cache National Forest or Santaquin Canyon. The Santaquin History Museum offers private tours of its collections, which include a historic library and military room.
  • With its low crime rate, Santaquin is safer than 64% of cities in the country. Residents have a one in 95 chance of becoming a victim of a crime, which is drastically lower than the national average of one in 36. For this reason, safety-conscious seniors may choose to relocate to Santaquin.
