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."

"I went to Spring Gardens Midvale. I was just very impressed with it. I had a good feeling when I walked into it. The staff was amazing, so kind, helpful, and friendly. The first time I saw it I didn't think I needed to even look any further, because I didn't think it could get much better than that. I liked the size of the rooms and just how everything was laid out. I couldn't find anything negative to say about it. They gave me a copy of their monthly menu. I have not eaten there, but it looked like it had some very good choices and variety."

"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 father is in Crescent Senior Living. He's in assisted living, although I also toured the memory care. It's glowing reviews for both sides. They're amazing. It is bright, cheerful and inviting. They have amenities for the families coming to visit, as well as the residents. They talk like it's a community and not an assisted living center. They talk like it's an apartment complex for everybody. Everything is welcoming. The staff is welcoming. You first walk through the door, and there's a staff at the front desk that welcomes you. After two visits, they remembered who I was coming to visit. It was just amazing. When my father moved in, they had a board at the front with balloons and telling him, Welcome Home. They were excited for him to come. The cleaning staff and the staff that brings food or helps them to the dining hall are amazing. They treat him like he is their grandfather. The staff is amazing. I had a sandwich and heavenly cookies. My picky father devours everything that they put before him. The facility is clean and inviting. They have pool tables, air hockey tables, a library, and patios. They even have a garden center that you can go out and plant things in. They have tons of activities. The games they were playing with the residents were adorable. They're very hands on with their residents. They are so incredibly creative with their activities. They have folk songs. People come in and take requests for singing certain songs. They're very attentive to age brackets and what music that they would like. They take field trips and go out to grocery stores and let them shop for themselves. Every day, there's an activity at 3:00. Everybody meets in the common area, and there's some type of an activity, either a bingo or a card game, like poker. Some of the residents in the assisted living put on workshops for the other residents. If you are a woodworker, they have some tools for you to do some of your carvings or your paintings. There is an activities book that you can sign up for anything. They'll come and ask you to come participate. They have a book club. They have an ice cream machine. Everything is just fun. I am stunned with what we pay for and what they do for him."

"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."
