BeeHive Homes of East Millcreek Salt Lake City, UT

Our mom was at the Salt Lake location for a little over a year before passing away. We moved her to Beehive after some poor care in another assisted living facility in the area. When we finally decided we had to move her we wanted something smaller and could actually help our mom with the things she needed. We liked the small facility setting and it felt more like a home than an institutionalized rest home. We were very thankful for the excellent care the staff and administrator provided for her in final times with us. They were always compassionate and friendly to her and us when we were there. The facility itself is clean and has a nice open feel to it.

No staffing. Horrible security. We paid our downpayment and were ready to move our loved one in to the memory care facility. On our last visit before move-in, we were shocked to find the back door propped open to the street and absolutely no staff available ANYWHERE! Repeated requests for a refund of our deposit because of this negligent operation have gone denied. Do not put your loved one in this facility: poor management, minimal staffing.

My parents are a resident of Beehive Homes for 6 months now. It's a smaller community, with about 20 rooms, and they have a gathering area outside of the rooms, where people can converse. The have a kitchen area where they make all their meals. The staff was really good, we're really pleased, and we felt a more personalized care. There's some social events which they organize, the rooms were more of the apartment-type.

If your loved one can basically take care of themselves, then this might be your place. But if you'd like them to get meds, and maybe even get them on time before they feel like they're going to die, and get extremely frustrated, this is probably not the place. Grandpa has been here one month and has had multiple experiences of being forgotten, meds not been on time, wrong meds given, too many meds given, had a fall, broke his ribs, been yelled at by residents... Perhaps it's just not working out for someone in his circumstance. I could go on but I think you get the picture...
