"Legacy Retirement Residence of South Jordan was nice, but I felt like it's pretty small for the price. They had seminars on certain days, worship services, sport games, comedy acts, and an in-house salon. The dining area was adequate and had plenty of choices. The food was good. I ate a meal there and it was bland for my taste, but I understand that's what old people need to have. They had an outdoor area walking path that was nice and had a shuttle bus that would take you around."

"This is a small facility, sixteen resident capacity, and the facility itself is not overly beautiful or anything, but this facility has a lot of heart. I've rarely seen a facility that puts as much emphasis on family then this one does. The staff bends over backwards to accommodate family visits, even if they aren't at the best times. They also invite family to all the parties and get togethers and encourage family participation. I've never visited this facility without seeing at least two or three different residents with visitors at any given time, and they're always talking and laughing and generally just having a good time. I also always see children there visiting their grandparents or great grandparents. They literally just light the place up. "

"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."

"Solstice Senior Living was very nice, and the person who showed us around was very welcoming. They even had a welcome sign for my dad and I. The area where they eat is bright and open, it felt really good, and it didn’t feel stuck up and dark. The hallway seemed brighter, the pictures hanging on the halls were nice, the apartments were nice, and it was cleaner than other places. They have really nice patios and balconies. They have a library, which is really good, and they have a van that will take people shopping a couple of times a week. The grounds were nice and residents have access to them. The rooms are adequate in size, but there’s not a full kitchen, only a microwave, a countertop, a little sink, and a refrigerator. You’re almost forced to eat downstairs in the dining area. The apartments were fine, they all have balconies, they were bright, and they all felt roomy"

"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."

"It was a really nice place. We were impressed with the place when we visited it. It got good living environment and it was clean. Everybody was really nice. The director that talked to us was great. The staff was helpful and seemed to be concerned about their residents. "

"I liked Valencia at Draper. The views from the rooms weren't great, but inside, it was very nice. I liked the staff a lot. The facility was nice, clean, and comfortable, but there's not much outside space."

"I visited the independent living facility. It was too big, and I like to be closer to people and socialize a lot. The staff members were very nice, though."

"I toured Spring Gardens Draper. The staff was very friendly, and the facility was beautiful. They had nice rooms, a dining area, and outdoor facilities, including a patio. They have activities such as games and trips around the city."

"Cottonwood Creek was fine, but the one that my father is in is newer. The people were friendly. It was fine. The layout was average. "

"I'm hoping to move my parents to The Wellington in Salt Lake City. They have a 2-bedroom 2-bath which is what they wanted, and there are not that many rooms like that available in the area. I like the staff, the layout is very nice, they had occupational therapy and physical therapy on-site which was a plus. I haven't had the food yet but they have a very good presentation. The staff members are all really helpful and friendly. They had a pretty nice place to eat, they have a library, a billiards room, they have physical therapy, and an outdoor court."

"Sunrise of Sandy was very nice. They were very informative. We went through the different options for my dad. Everybody's caring and concerned. The staff was very good, but as far as my needs, they're a lot different. They always talked about the community and what they do and all the tours and places they'll take him and things they'll do with him. My dad is 93 and he doesn't do anything, so he wouldn't be part of that community. I was looking for more of a place for him to be. I didn't care that they charge extra to bring his food to his room. It's very clean. I saw the common areas and a one-bedroom suite type. It was a good facility."

"We visited St. Joseph Senior Living Apartments, and that’s the one my dad would choose. It’s independent living, so there’s a full kitchen in there, the residents were friendly, and we liked that better for my dad overall. The place is sunny, the apartments were nice, and it was a lot less institutional. They have singalongs, cocktails on Friday, daily mass, and rides to and from grocery stores. They have people come in and do things, and they have exercises. The staff was very friendly and very personable."
