The Best Communities in Salt Lake City, UT

"Sarah Daft Home is a small place. They seem to know each other there. It's very home-like. My husband's room was kept clean. He was well taken care of and he liked the food very much when he was there. The dining room was a big open room with tables for four people. The surroundings were very pleasant. It had a nice view from the windows. The dining room doubles as a social room at times, but they also have a separate social room. Then they have people that come in for entertainment. They played bingo, had a van that took people on outings, and women who came in to cut their hair."

"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."

"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."

"I was quite impressed with Capitol Hill Senior Living. It was very nice. Jason was very helpful. He explained everything. He took me on a tour of the entire facility. It was quite lovely. I was impressed with both the memory care and the assisted living part. They showed me everything. They showed me all the activities, the beauty shop, the dining room, and the music room. The rooms were private."

"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."

"Escalante at Coventry was fine. It seemed very friendly, and the rooms were nice. Very friendly staff, adequate rooms, and a friendly atmosphere. The menu looked great, I didn't sample it, but the dining area was very nice, with outdoor views."

"My dad moved to Legacy House of Taylorsville. They are very nice. They are very inclusive, and they are very hospitable. It's clean. The atmosphere is good. All the staff are nice and sweet. I've seen the food and it looks good. They have a ton of stuff going on for the month. You can have a dog come. They have bingo. They have card games. They have all sorts of stuff going on all the time, and they include everybody."

"We like everything about Sunrise of Sandy. They seemed to have a really nice facility. They have nice decor and furnishings and tons of activities. The amount of care and levels of care that they offer, like you can get more if you need it or less if you need it. We didn't really have much we didn't like. The lady who gave the tour was super, super helpful and very knowledgeable. The building was very clean and we liked the structure. There are railings on every wall. The rooms were really nice. It felt like a really homey place."

"We went to look at Solstice Senior Living at Sandy. The grounds are very nice. The facility seemed very nice and well-kept. The concept of a small kitchen and getting fed is a good thing. They have a good chef there, so they understand that the food needs to be good. The place is clean all over. I think it would be a good place. Everyone is saying this is a good place for me in my old age. We are very interested. I was impressed with the library, which had big chairs. They have a few exercise machines that look good. There's a community exercise place. A senior center, I believe, is fairly close. They talked about a bus for the residents there. I met the staff, the people at the desk, the cleaning person, and the chef. They were all very nice. They all seem to understand what their function is."

"My mom has moved into Legacy House of South Jordan. I chose them because I was just comfortable with the environment. I really like the homey feeling and the way it is set up as far as activities and the different little apartments that they stay in. I was just impressed with it. The staff are very welcoming, and they've been great to Mom so far. They're very friendly and patient, and they have an upbeat attitude. The food is very good, too. I even had some with my mom and she liked it. They offer a lot of options. They have daily activities. They have a different range of things that people might be interested in. It's obviously up to the residents how involved they want to be. They seem to have a pretty nice schedule set up for different interests that they might have. The activity coordinator is very outgoing, fun, and friendly. She came and met my mom personally. It just seems like they have a lot planned. My mom's room is very nice, and that's another thing that I like. It was very clean, and it was just ready for her, like brand-new looking. It has a little kitchenette in it. Everything is very nice, and I am impressed with how updated it is."

"I have signed up with Legacy Retirement Residence of South Jordan. The staffers are absolutely excellent. They provide great care and concern for me as a tenant. The food here is absolutely superb. It's better than most restaurants in the valley. It's a great place to stay. It's amazing to me how, from the servers in the restaurant, to the janitorial staff, everyone knows the names of every tenant in here, and that's incredible. They really seem to care about us. The facility has all kinds of amenities, everything from an onsite doctor and haircutting, and all kinds of care that they provide for us. They have transportation to and from your medical appointments if need be. It is mostly independent living but there are facilities here that will provide you with assisted living if you need it. It will be for an extra cost, and often you contract directly with the extra services."

"I like that Cedarwood at Sandy is going to be close to family. Their food is excellent and their two-bedroom apartment is very large. They also have little cottages. Their rooms were the largest two-bedroom ones we saw. The upkeep was excellent. Their dining area was nice."

"My friend will go to Crescent Senior Living. She has Parkinson's, and there is a distinct possibility of her losing memory as she gets older, and that has the memory care unit attached to it, so she wouldn't have to move as far. We did the assisted living because that's where she would be going. I liked the wide halls. The staff was great. It was beautiful. It was a full meal that I had, and what I appreciated was that I had some fairly restrictive dietary needs, and they were very good about it. The chef came out to talk to us, and they did a very nice job there."

"We went to Copper Creek Senior Living. It was a nice new facility. It was very open, bright, and cheery. The person who gave the tour was very engaged, upbeat, and cheerful. They had physical therapy and hospice onsite, and I think they also had a dentist that came in periodically onsite. There was a beauty salon and an outdoor patio."
