Independent Living Communities in Pleasant Grove, UT

"We went to Copper Creek Senior Living. It was a nice new facility. It was very open, bright, and cheery. The person who gave the tour was very engaged, upbeat, and cheerful. They had physical therapy and hospice onsite, and I think they also had a dentist that came in periodically onsite. There was a beauty salon and an outdoor patio."

"We went to Sagewood at Daybreak. It was the nicest community we visited. They had really good food. The people said hi to the staff as we walked through, so evidently they're friendly and welcoming. The only reason we didn't choose that one was that it was farther away from our children, and it was very expensive. Nevertheless, the facility was clean, nice, neat, and very new."

"My parents moved into Spring Gardens Mapleton. It's a one-bedroom, and it's lovely. Their food is good. My parents like it, and I have siblings who have sampled it. The facility is very clean and well-kept. They have activities every week. They have programs, birthday parties, and celebrations."

"We toured Spring Gardens Heber. I like them the best. The lady who was taking me on the tour said that they had a little courtyard for people who like to go outside. They were very nice. The staff who toured me was very nice. They showed me the dining room, but they didn't offer a meal. There were no appliances available in the memory care. The room looked small, but it was nice. You bring all your own furniture, TV, or whatever. The staff said smaller rooms were less confusing. They weren't very big, but that was alright. They have an activity director. They have a lot of card games. They have a lady who comes in and plays the piano. People enjoy that. The staff said she is really good and plays things that they know. Each day of the week they have something. It may be like an art project one day, a Hawaiian Day, or different activities like bingo."

"My friend likes how small Spring Gardens Midvale is and the number of people who came up and talked to her. I think if she did not think that she would need the memory care, she would have chosen that. They were very nice. I would give cleanliness a five. It was just an overall smaller facility, which appealed to my friend a little bit more. I think she'll do better in a larger facility when she comes out of her shell because she's a very gregarious person, but she's been kind of pulling away from people. They worked around my food issues, so I appreciate that. My friend was one of those people who eats all day, and they were very good about boxing up her leftovers for her."

"Olympus Ranch was very clean and roomy. I was impressed with the features that it had. They had activities. I think they provided a bus and three meals a day. The staff was very nice. The only thing that I didn't like was that they make you put down a non-refundable move-in deposit."

"Legacy Village of Sugar House is very clean. They offer a lot of amenities. The one-bedroom is very, very spacious, nice, and very clean. No marks on the walls. The carpets have been cleaned. There are awesome views and happier people. The staff were very friendly and eager to assist. It's almost brand new. It's like a skyrise apartment kind of place. It's really neat. They have a good-sized gym and a beauty shop with three different chairs to get your hair done. They offer everything."

"St. Joseph Senior Apartments is really great. I haven't had a chance to move in there yet, but so far, they've been working with me really well with what I need to get. The staff was really great, and they're willing to work with you. It was really nice looking, clean, and well kept up. You have to pay for the meals separately, but the utilities, the washer, and the dryer are included."

"I was very impressed. We visited during Cinco de Mayo and we saw the residents were chatting with each other. Their meeting place by the atrium was festively decorated. They also had entertainment and the residents were very into it. Their rooms were larger and had a walk-in closet. We met several staff members and they were very, very nice. The food was OK. They had a typical large variety main menu."

"Grovecrest Villas was fabulous and almost brand new. They have beautiful, large, sunlit common rooms, and a gorgeous library on the second floor. They have a hair salon, an exercise room, and a theater room. The rooms were larger than what you would see in the assisted care places, but they don't offer any sort of care at all. The rooms have washers and dryers, which is fabulous. It was one of my favorite places and it was inexpensive because the amenities were much less."

"Manila Country Home feels just like it says in the name, a "country home". The owner/operators, Dave and Dianne truly love and care for each of the residence in the home. I feel so blessed to have found them and to have my mother living there. "

"We chose Avalon Senior Living Apartments because the price was very reasonable. It has a very nice exercise room, a library, a social gathering room, a games room, and an outside picnic area for barbecue. The corridors are really wide. The apartments are nice and spacious with fully equipped kitchens, and there's space for a washer and dryer. The staff seems really nice, helpful, and pleasant. They don't have too many organized activities though."

"Covington Senior Living of Orem is bright and clean. It looks like you're walking into a hotel almost. The room is clean and safe for my father. Their staff members are very loving and caring. They're very attentive and there's always lots of people around to help and answer questions. For activities, they do little exercise classes, they do a bus ride several times a week, and take them out on little trips, they bake bread once a week, and they do a little cooking activity with them. They have craft activities. They had a little fireworks show for them one night. They take them outside and play games like charades with them. The food is cafeteria food. I wouldn't call it five-star dining, but they are healthy, well-balanced meals."

"I stayed at Covington Senior Living of Lehi for about a year. The experience was very good. The people were very friendly and sharing. I just really loved it there. It's a very beautiful place. They brought in a lot of musical talent to play and sing for us. We go on outings to Walmart and other places. It was a great place. They provide three meals a day and laundry. The staff members were great. I enjoyed them. They were very knowledgeable."
