The Best Memory Care Communities in Salt Lake County, UT

"I toured Crescent Senior Living. They're helpful and informative. Everything looked good. It wasn't all eyewash like some of the others I looked at. It looked like they were more into the patients than in the way the place looked. The facility itself is great. It wasn't overdone. They were just a very comfortable feeling when you walked in there. The rooms were nice. They were nice sized. I'm impressed. Everything was so nice and airy, and the outside too, if they wanted to sit outside. There were so many opportunities for them to be outside and participate. They had a little garden and it was just homey. The caregiver said she's done it for almost 40 years. It's been her whole life and she just loves her patients. She was just so bubbly and seemed so caring. You could tell it was her calling."

"I toured while looking for my grandmother. I was impressed with how friendly the staff was, and how happy the residents looked. "

"I liked Valencia at Draper. The views from the rooms weren't great, but inside, it was very nice. I liked the staff a lot. The facility was nice, clean, and comfortable, but there's not much outside space."

"My mother will move into assisted care here in February. The community is new, and they have assisted living and memory care. They have electronic devices; in case they fall or need assistance, they can just push a bracelet or necklace button, and they also can monitor where the residents are if they happen to be in area where they shouldn't be. They have individual washers and dryers in the assisted living rooms. We're looking quite forward to this facility, and it makes us a little bit more at home to have a few of the essentials that my mom would have at home. They have both studio and one-bedrooms available."

"I have occasion to visit many assisted living facilities throughout Utah since my family all works within the health care system. My Aunt and cousin work in many assisted living facilities and my church group also holds a church meeting for the elderly at several local assisted living facilities, so I know what I am talking about when it comes to whether or not assisted living facilities are worth sending your loved ones to. I choose to only review those that I found to be upstanding, so I chose to review the facility known as the Brighton Gardens of SLC since I was so impressed with the staff and the grounds. The usual problems that people complain about when entering a home of this kind were nowhere to be found. One woman wandered from her room (an alzheimer's patient) and was spotted immediately and returned to safety. This staff was on point, meaning they knew who and what was going on at all times. The treats and food were exeptional and the rooms were spacious, especially for the price. The only complaint I would have about this assisted living facility is that it needs more grounds. Being in Salt Lake City it does not have the acres of land some of the other Utah facilities have for parks and walk areas, though this home still had beautiful gardens and paths for the residents. Definitely would consider sending my loved ones to live at this facility. "

"My mom has moved into The Peaks at South Jordan. She is doing great there. They're providing much more care to her than the other facility. I worked with the marketing person, the executive director, and a couple of the nurses, and all of them have been great. The executive director was very good at explaining their care system and how they go about taking care of particularly demented patients, and so it was very, very helpful to work with her. She gave me great advice about using the house doctor and how that would be good for my mom. My mom's room is a very nice private room. They furnished a bed and a nightstand, so I didn't have to do that. We just had to furnish a dresser and her personal effects. She has her own bathroom and shower with safety chairs and rails that she's been using successfully with help from the staff. They also provide a large shower room if they have to work with the patients more. They have two options that way. They offer an incontinence care package, which is very helpful for Mom. That's an additional fee, but it's very nice. The nice thing about their common areas is that it's more open and the patients aren't all just crammed into one small spot. The common dining area is central. It's enclosed in kind of an atrium-type style, so you can see all around it. It's more like a restaurant. My brother and sister-in-law had a snack there with them. They had some pumpkin pie, and they said it was really good. My mom doesn't vocalize very well, but she seems to be eating better than in the previous facility. They have many activities. On my mom's move-in day, she baked brownies, they played some sort of game with balloons, and they had puzzles. She has participated, which is far better than in the other facility. The grounds are very pretty with manicured grass. There's always a caregiver out there with the residents, but they can go out and wander and be secure on the grounds. Besides the incontinence package, they also have a salon, which is great. You work directly with the salon like you would an outside salon. They also have a van that goes on rides and little shopping trips. Mom hasn't gotten to do those yet. She has only been there about five days. It's a little bit on the pricey side though. "

"I went to Spring Gardens Draper. It was good. It was a nice community. The staff member who gave the tour were very nice and very knowledgeable of the place. The rooms were nice. I think it's a newer building and I think they're taking good care of it. The dining area was a good area for where they had to eat. It was nice."

"I toured Sagewood at Daybreak. I like it. The person who toured with me and a few workers who were there seemed nice. They seemed to be nice people, and they were taking care of everybody. The rooms were beautiful and very nice. The place looked really clean. They have different sizes of rooms. They have different common dining areas, too. One looks more like a cafeteria, and the other one is more like a restaurant. You choose if you want to be formal or informal. At that time, they were doing activities. They had some singing thing, and somebody was playing piano, and they had a workshop, and someone was doing some art."

"BeeHive Homes a very good place, my mom is happy here. They are right on top of everything. The staff is accommodating and attentive. She's got a single room with a single bed, a dresser, a bathroom, and a shower. I had her in other places, and she really liked this place. "

"Legacy House of Bountiful was small which was nice. The staff was very good and very friendly, and they knew their patients. They had some common rooms. The dining area was lovely, and the menu looked good. It was very bright and cheerful, and it seemed like a cozy and homey atmosphere. "

"Creekside Senior Living was very impressive. The room we saw there was basically nice, but definitely not spacious. It was small compared to a regular home. The person who assisted me during the tour was very good. They have the same kind of activities as other places. When you go in the entrance it's very impressive. The views from there are much more impressive than anywhere I've been. One thing I haven't seen anywhere else is that when you go out the back, there's a fairly large pond that you can go fishing in. And there's also a putting green for golf. We're currently on a waiting list for Creekside."

"The facility is beautiful, the staff are friendly and helpful. My mother enjoys the activities. Her room is so nice. She has lots of space. It's a very well run facility. They bake some amazing cookies and have special dinner events they invite family to attend. We absolutely love this place. My mother is very happy there."

"My Mom was very happy at Spring Gardens. She loved the staff in the Memory Care Center. All the staff from the Front Office Management to the CNA’s on the floor treated her with love and respect. From our monthly payments to her personal care we were always treated professional. We were always greeted by name when we either entered or left the facility. She said many times that the staff were just like her own kids. She had staff that would take her for walks, encourage her to join activities, as well go on bus rides and they were always more than happy to just sit and visit. She was so thankful they would take the time to style her hair and paint her nails. My Mom was always welcomed with a smile when we would return from visits. Mom mentioned many times that she never felt alone while she was at Spring Gardens. She always had friends and staff members that cared for her. I would visit her many different time during the day or days of the week and she was always happy. The facility was always clean and the Ice Cream Parlor became one of our favorite hangouts. When you are trying to find a home away from home for your Mom it is so important that you find someone that you can trust. We found that at Spring Gardens. My Mom was at Spring Gardens for 7 months and passed away on 1 October 2019. I know she was happier at Spring Gardens than she had been for a while. Thank you so much for your loving care."

"I toured Legacy House of Park Lane. It was clean. They were very friendly. They knew all the people. It's a little nicer than the other facility. The staff was very friendly. They were prompt. The food was excellent. Some of the views of the room weren't as good as the one you looked at in an alley, but the other three sides were pretty."
