What is assisted living?

Assisted living is one step away from independent living. It provides help with cooking, daily house chores, personal care services, and health care, such as regular health checks and reminders to take medication. It is designed for individuals who need assistance with normal daily activities in a way that promotes ultimate independence.

The main component of our assisted living, in Salt Lake City, Utah is to help with activities of daily living or ADL’s. This can mean anything from getting dressed to daily incontinence care. A little assistance goes a long way.

There are few main differences between assisted living and memory care. Memory better suits adults with progressive cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other memory problems.

If an adult is independent when they move in, but needs more care as they age, that assistance is available on-site and can be quickly arranged. Our highly trained and caring staff members will help determine when is the appropriate time to move your loved one to memory care.

What are the benefits of assisted living?

Community living cuts out the boredom. After retirement, seniors may be overwhelmed by an excessive amount of free time. This spare time can be used to pursue passions or pick up new hobbies through intellectually stimulating programs and activities. These activities are shown to lower the risk of long-term cognitive decline.

Assisted living communities offer many activities that appeal to everyone:

• Arts and crafts
• Daily activity programs
• Shopping trips and scenic drives
• Hair salon and barbershop
• Retro 1950’s ice cream parlor
• Movie night in an in-house theater
• Game lounge
• Cozy library lounge
• Putting green
