The Best Senior Living Communities in West Jordan, UT

"I toured the South Jordan View Retirement Community. The community is light and bright, full of activity, and there's a lot of involvement there with the people who run the place. They had a very good chef the day I was there who cooked some delicious food, and from what the ladies were telling me, they have their reserved table towards the back of the cafeteria, and they have about eight to ten ladies that are just full of life, full of fun. I spent about two and a half hours there. We had a great time, and they were very forthcoming about living there and how much they liked it. I went and viewed one of the apartments, which was fabulous. Jimi was very caring, friendly, and open, and she wanted to do whatever she could or answer any questions to help me decide. She showed me everywhere around there. It's just a beautiful community. So that's the place I would have liked to have gone to, but unfortunately, that's too much money for me. The food was delicious. From what they told me, you could order something else. If you want a sandwich, they'll make it for you. It's like having the best of both worlds, having your place and everybody taking care of you. It's wonderful. So, I like it a lot."

"We went to Sagewood at Daybreak. It was the nicest community we visited. They had really good food. The people said hi to the staff as we walked through, so evidently they're friendly and welcoming. The only reason we didn't choose that one was that it was farther away from our children, and it was very expensive. Nevertheless, the facility was clean, nice, neat, and very new."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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. "

"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."

"My mother is in Cottonwood Creek. They've got very vibrant residents and staff, very caring staff, and beautiful rooms. They have physical therapy and occupational therapy onsite, which is very convenient, and a lot of great activities for my mother to attend. She really likes bingo, and she enjoys dinner and a movie. I spoke with the activities director and told her that my mom likes to play a card game called Uno, and so they plan on incorporating that into their activity schedule for her. She loves the food. She's only been there a couple of days, but the variety was really delicious and they offered vegetables, which she doesn't cook herself. The fact that there are vegetables and nutritious meals is very much a plus. The facility is very nice. Compared to other places that I looked at, the rooms are spacious, clean, and very nice. They have patios, which are nice, but not really a very nice walking area because it's quite small."

"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."

"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."

"The Wellington was a very active community. It was a little bit older, and I didn't care too much for the bathroom doors, they were pretty skinny up by the front door. They had a patio that you could go out to. They had a lot of activities on their schedule. When you walk in, you walk into the front desk and then you walk down to a nice private reading room. They had a pool table room. It was just really nice. The people there were nice, too. The staff was very knowledgeable and very thoughtful of what your needs were."

"I toured The Auberge at Aspen Park. They were redoing everything. You could have pets and they had a cat. Everybody seemed to be getting along. It seemed like a happy place. They were all nice. I just wish we could have got him in there. It was clean. Every place we got to see was clean and everything was nice. It was kind of relaxed. The people that were wandering around seemed happy and knew what they were doing."

"My mother is in Spring Gardens Draper. They were very open and congenial to work with. We found a room that was a studio but seemed oversized, which made it convenient for her to set up with her furniture. We did add a wardrobe closet for her in addition to the closet that was there, and that works well. She gets attentive assistance whenever she requests it to help her go to the bathroom or to take her down to the dining room for dinner. They are consistent in cleaning her room every week. They have daily entrees, which are unique, but they also have a side menu that you can order from at any time which includes hamburgers, salads, cheese sandwiches, alternate menu choices if someone doesn't like what the main course is. I think the activities are excellent."
