Independent Living Communities in South Jordan, UT

"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 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."

"The Wellington was a very active community. It was a little bit older, and I didn't care too much for the bathroom doors, they were pretty skinny up by the front door. They had a patio that you could go out to. They had a lot of activities on their schedule. When you walk in, you walk into the front desk and then you walk down to a nice private reading room. They had a pool table room. It was just really nice. The people there were nice, too. The staff was very knowledgeable and very thoughtful of what your needs were."

"My mom is at Sunrise at Holladay. I went and checked out a few, and that just seemed to be the nicest one. They offer mini-classes, and their activities are great. Food is good. My mom's room is just a studio right now; she is waiting for a one-bedroom. They have a fireplace, a nice dining room, an activity room that's nicely done, and they have an outdoor space where they can meet up, which is nice."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"My aunt will move into Summerfield Retirement. It's a studio apartment with two closets and a large bathroom with a shower. The rooms were a nice size. The studio includes a little refrigerator, microwave, sink, and cupboards to put a few dishes and snacks. Dan is awesome. I went and toured it almost four years ago with my husband for his mom, and he was awesome then. I like the atmosphere. It's just different. It's a place that I wouldn't mind going to if I had to go. It's very upbeat, and they have great activities. They have service projects that they can do, like stuffed little teddy bears. They do it for two different places, and they do it every month. They have crocheting, a book club, bingo, and events in their center. In the summertime they can do a shared garden box for the assisted living facility to plant tomatoes, or do that together anywhere else. These are just some of the things and hobbies my aunt was involved in throughout her life that fit her much better than playing games or doing puzzles elsewhere. They update their carpets regularly, probably every four to five years. They keep it up, and it's a nice atmosphere. It's clean and very nice."

"It was nice. The apartment we looked at was one bedroom, and I liked it. There's no kitchen because they feed you. But there were a lot of things in the fridge. We had lunch there, and everybody was so nice. The facility was clean. I enjoyed it. It's the one I've been looking forward to. They have a book club and an exercise place. They also have individual exercises. They do take a few laps around the city. They have a beauty salon and barbershop. They have laundry that you don't have to pay for. They have parking spots listed on the driveway around the parking area for every room, so every room has its own parking. The staff was very friendly. The food was very good. The layout is good. They have a place where they have a meeting. I can't say anything bad about the whole place."

"Creekside Senior Living is gorgeous. There is a reason why that rate is the best assisted living in Utah. The activities are amazing, but my mom is an introvert, so it was a little too wow for her. It's wonderful for very active seniors who want to be involved. It's on the pricier end. A one-bedroom assisted living there is equal in cost to a studio memory care at the other place. The staff was wonderful. It gets rave reviews for good reasons. They have a little area in front that has snacks and space for you to visit with your loved ones 24/7. They do big, amazing decoration activities like Disney Week and things like that. They bring in amazing performances. They go all out. My daughter, who wanted to be a Disney princess, was like, "Oh my gosh, this is where I want to be." It's built on the property that used to be a nursery, and so the people who own the nursery turned it into this really lovely landscaped senior community. I don't know about the staff, but overall, it has the wow 5/5 factor except for affordability. I've just heard from others that the food is great."

"I went with a friend who was looking for independent or assisted living. We took a tour and had lunch consisting of salmon and vegetables. The meal was well prepared and tasty. The salmon was perfectly prepared. The staff and service were both good. The people at the table were friendly. The assisted and independent rooms looked good. We liked the grounds and the fact that the independent rooms faced out into the central landscaping."

"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."

"The facility is quaint and cozy, the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and upbeat. Staff works hard to attend to the needs of the residents, in a timely manner. Meals are healthy, nutrisous, and tasty, with a lot of variety in the menu, and homemade and fresh. Lots of activities, and social interactment is provided to the residents. I'm 100% satisfied. "
