The Best Memory Care Communities in Utah County, UT

"Besides the size, BeeHive seems more like a home. The other ones were more like apartments to me, and I like more of a homey feel. It had all the bedrooms around the big living area, and I like that setup for my mother. The staff is really good. They’re really helpful with her needs and, if she needs anything, they always let me know. They seem to treat everyone with a lot of respect, and I’m very happy with that. They have activities every day, different types of music performers come in and perform regularly, church services, and a nice patio area that when the weather is nice, you could come out there, and things like that. "

"Spring Gardens Draper is wonderful. It is clean and new. They have a wonderful staff, who were great to personalize our walk through. They made the transition of my mother-in-law very easy. They have exercise classes, social activities, walking, and a hair salon. We see my mother-in-law every day, and she is doing great. They also have a library, an ice cream parlor, an outdoor park area, and a craft room. I had a meal there, and it was delicious. They have a wonderful chef."

"My husband moved to Valencia at Draper. They're taking care of him and giving him the medication when he needs it and all that kind of stuff. It's just worked out. They serve three meals a day. The staff was friendly and helpful. They have a little courtyard in the memory care unit. It's small, but it's sufficient."

"Crescent Senior Living is the perfect place for my parents. Everyone is so nice and they go above and beyond our expectations in every aspect. It is a beautiful facility delicious food and the kindest and best care. Love this place!"

"We like it. Our relative likes it as well. "

"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 took Mom to visit Legacy, but she wasn't interested in how it seemed cramped and small. She can't part with her stuff, and she thought it wasn't open and was tight and very small. "

"My mother moved here. We chose it because it was closer to our home, and when we went to view it the guy that we worked with was really nice and answered our questions. We were able to go in and look at their facility. It was very nice and very clean. The rooms were fine, and we brought her furniture in and everything. It's large enough, she has a bed, a dresser, and a chest of drawers. It's definitely a nice size room. The staff seems very nice, and she's been very happy with the food. They have a lot of activities, they have a beauty shop, and other things like that for her as well. She gets her hair done there, and that was important to us because she wants to get her hair done every week. When I was moving her stuff in the staff was very accommodating and very helpful. She's happy, and that's been a great plus."

"I took two tours at Sagewood at Daybreak and even put a deposit for my uncle. They were very accommodating and have been very good. I ordered a bunch of furniture and they've been holding them for me until I can pick up. I like that it was bright and clean and the residents seemed happy. They were paired together and talking happily with one another. They had a great menu for food. They had many different options and you go to the dining room or have it delivered to your apartment. They would clean up my uncle's apartment once a week and change his sheets once a week for him. The service they provided was really good. There was also an equal number of men and women his age in that facility. Some of the facilities I went to seemed like the majority is women and I thought that he would want to be around men his own age. The staff were nice. Their uniforms were clean, very professional, and welcoming. The whole environment there is uplifting and bright. We were going for assisted living and figured he probably would move to memory care after that. But for now, the assisted living had a full-size refrigerator and had a stove and a range top. He likes to cook, so that was good for him. Some of the other places only had a dorm-size refrigerator and a microwave. That really wouldn't have worked well for him. They actually structured activities around what the residents want. Of course, they had the usual painting and that sort of thing, but they had a resident that wanted to make clay objects, so they bought materials to do that. There was another resident that wanted to do woodworking and they made a woodshop downstairs in the basement for them with all the equipment. They really tailored it to the needs and wants of the residents. I saw their food and it looked delicious. It is a dining room style where they have a menu and the server comes to your table and asks you what you would like, so not everyone has the same thing. It looked delicious. I thought that the place was safe. There weren't any stairs that the residents had to climb. The elevator was easy to operate and it was easy for people that have disabilities or use a walker or wheelchair to maneuver through. I would highly recommend it. They have a shuttle bus that takes the resident to Walmart and Save Mart once a week. They also have what they call "Phoenix Tours" where the residents can join. At Christmas time, they would take them to the neighborhood so they could look at the Christmas lights and that was nice. They could also look at a view of the city at nighttime."

"Legacy House of Taylorsville's people were very courteous, encouraging, and tried to meet my needs. It's a really nice community. You get three meals a day in assisted living and memory care, but in the independent apartments, you just do your own thing. A couple of times a week, they have local artists who play the piano, violin, and guitar, and you can sing with them. They usually have an activity in the morning and afternoon every day. The food is fabulous and nutritious with good variety. They also have a great chef."

"We have chosen BeeHive Homes of Provo for my dad because of its cleanliness and the staff's friendliness. He has a nice room. It's pretty spacious. He has a nice shower and a big bathroom. It's a nice-sized room. He is allowed to have a little refrigerator there. I have not tried the food, but I know he likes it. The value for money is pretty fair. I think it's one of the cheaper ones around since a lot of them that were a lot more expensive. So, BeeHive Homes was more of a decent price."

"My husband is in assisted living at Courtyard at Jamestown Assisted Living. They have a different section called memory care, where they have more one-on-one help for him because it's hard for him to be alone. He's on a list to get into that. It is a very nice place. For my husband, it's a lot safer than he was at home because he doesn't have stairs and things like that. The staff members are very nice and very helpful to him. I like how they're taking precautions with COVID. You have to wear a mask in there, and you have to sign in. They're taking that very seriously. I don't think they're letting people eat there. I bring my own food when I go down there because of COVID. But their food is good. My husband loves their food. They do have church services there on Sundays. It is right there in the building. That's very helpful because you don't have to go anywhere. They always have something going on, and the people can get involved if they want. It's not cheap, but it's worth it. They bring my husband's medication to him. He has a buzzer to push if he needs help, and they come right there. Right across from his room, there is a washer and dryer. I do his laundry when I'm there. If he has problems, they help him."

"My visit at Covington went very well. The place was great. It was a good experience. They treated us very well; they worked with us very well. The staff was incredible. I would highly recommend Covington."
