Memory Care Communities in South Jordan, UT

"I toured Valencia at Draper. They have a lot of things going on to help keep the patients busy doing things to keep them happy. The rooms are pretty good. I thought that the studio apartment is a little small, but under the circumstances and depending on what you're going to do with it, it's still OK. The place was well kept. The dining area was good, well kept, and it had plenty of room. The staff members were great. They were very attentive. They stayed with us the whole time and answered any questions that we had. You couldn't ask for better people to ask questions and to help you with whatever you needed."

"Spring Gardens Draper was a beautiful facility. It was very nice and I learned a lot of information that I didn't know before. The rooms were very nice. The woman I toured with was extremely helpful. She gave me a lot of information and she was very attentive. She listened well. I was impressed with their activities. They have a little art gallery thing where they have someone come in and teach people how to paint and stuff, and I was really impressed with that. They also had a sewing area where if people like to quilt, they could do that, so they had some really unique things to do. They just don't give transportation to the senior center that my friend is interested in."

"We liked Legacy House of Taylorsville because it was only two levels. It was easy to get around. We also liked its location. It's only a few minutes from our house. The staff was very friendly. They knew every resident by name. So that was impressive. Everything was great."

"We really liked Sunrise of Sandy. The lady who did our tour was wonderful, the facility was very, very nice, but it was farther from our home compared to other places. The rooms were large and very nice, the staff was wonderful, and they had activities and things available there."

"I know a resident at this facility who is a most enthusiastic lover of horses. In fact, she's more than once told me stories about herself as a girl living on a ranch. Of course, in her stories half the houses in Salt Lake weren't built yet and there were large sweeps of open farmland. This facility is perfect for her because they have pet therapy and she can once again be with her beloved horses. She loves to spend time petting them and talking to them, maybe more than she likes to talk to people even. Not that she doesn't have her share of admirers. The staff are always willing to listen to her stories. She's not up to riding the horses though, not that she hasn't tried, but she has tried to convince the staff to let her muck out stalls, something about the good old days. One way or another though, this facility has been excellent for her. "

"My mother has been a resident for over a year. It is beautiful and always clean and welcoming. The staff is friendly and supportive. The residents feel like they are part of a large family, or at least feel like they have friends there and they are cared about. Only drawback is that things get "lost" in the memory care unit (understandable) but the staff doesn't keep track of important things (glasses, hearing aids) so they can be missing for hours or days until a family member notices... "

"I have moved into Legacy Village of Sugar House. They're excellent. The other day, I had all these empty boxes from moving in, and one of the nurses came in, and she goes, 'Oh, look at all these boxes, we'll take care of those.' She took them all out and had them hauled away. They're just really good. They check on me all the time. Food is really good. I noticed that the spinach is fresh steamed and the peas are not canned, they're like fresh frozen. I like the food. It's not exotic, but it's good healthy food. The facility is clean as far as I can tell. I haven't participated in any activities except for the vaccination. It's well organized and very thought-out. I'm going to try to do the exercise program this morning at 10 a.m. I think I paid $4000 a month, so I would say it's comparable for what I get."

"It is a good place for my mom, but the only problem is that they need to be solely on a walker, and mom needs to be on a wheelchair. They were quite thorough in explaining what their activities were for the seniors there. They have three meals, and snacks are provided all day long. The staff was quite informative and extremely helpful during the visit. "

"I have a friend who has Celiac disease, which means, in short, that she can't eat gluten or any food products containing gluten, such as wheat, barley, and rye. This may not seem like a huge concession, but there are countless food products that have gluten that nobody knows about, like canned soup or processed meat or anything with artificial flavorings or colorings in it. It was very difficult for her to find an assisted living facility because so many don't take celiac disease into consideration. Lately, its prevalence has been recognized, but it's still an unusual diet. However, this facility first attracted her and her family due to its emphasis on specialized diets for the residents. Since being placed here, she hasn't had one stomachache, which is saying quite a lot. She's healthier than she's been for a while and she enjoys the food because she says it doesn't taste like cardboard. One time the staff even surprised her with some gluten-free brownies! This facility certainly takes care of the residents. "

"Spring Gardens Lindon is a very warm, inviting, and welcoming place. Their rooms were clean, and the staff seems to be wonderful. They're very friendly and a little more seasoned than some of the other places I looked at. They've been there for a while, so the facility seems to run well, and they know what they're talking about. They have good people that work there, and they went above and beyond. Their dining area is also great, and the dinners I have brought home have been very nice. When I was there, the memory care residents were having a snack and were getting ready to play a game, like a Jeopardy or a word game."

"I've got to tell ya, love this place. I've had mom in a couple of different places here in Orem over the last decade, she loves it here the most. The staff is the difference. These guys aren't just here to punch in and get their hours, they have helped us with the move, getting her TV mounted to the wall, fixed her personal recliner ( a repair guy at RC Willy would have charged $100!) and have taken special note on things that she likes to do like Puzzles and old Bob Hope movies and modeled some activities after her likes. I've seen some of the reviews on here, yeah it's an older facility, but from what I've seen they keep up on all repairs. Thanks Scott, Amy and LuAnn, you have made my mom a great home here. "

"The best part about Rocky Mountain Care Spring Hollow Assisted Living and Memory Care is it is close to home. The least part would be the feel of the place. It was nice. I don't have anything bad to say about it. It was a lot cheaper. The staff was very helpful. The building was nice. It just seemed a little older."

"Legacy House of Bountiful was very clean. The staff was friendly and it seemed like they were very involved in the community. They have great activities for the residents there. They provide housekeeping once a week and they have a central laundry area. The rooms are very nice, clean, and they have a variety of sizes."

"We chose Creekside Senior Living for my ex-husband. It's almost like a five-star hotel. It has lots of things for people to do including a putting green, a pond with fish in it, barbecues, and an outside patio area with umbrellas over tables and a place where you can actually have a family get together. It's awesome. The food and their eating schedules are very good. They're open all day. Someone doesn't have to be there between six and nine for breakfast; they can have breakfast at three in the afternoon if they want. They've have snacks there 24/7. They have bingo, a movie room, and movie night. They take the residents to dinner and to movies on occasion. They will take them on scenic drives, they have men and women meetings, and they have church services. It's wonderful and it smells new."
