The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Layton, UT for 2023

In cities like Layton, Utah where nearly 10 percent of the population is aged 65 or older, it is important that memory care facilities are available to seniors who require specialized, full-time care. There are two memory care facilities located in Layton and an additional 10 located in nearby cities such as Ogden and Clearfield.

The Utah Department of Health is responsible for regulating all types of ALFs in the state.
