37 Memory Care Communities in Salt Lake County, Utah

The Ivy at Draper on Bangerter Parkway who is now owned by Greystar for the last year. This is a 55+ senior community that is charging each tenant $40. a month for sewer! I have a friend who’s parents are on a fixed income and this is wrong. You need to check into them and their practices as they also have to pay for the heating and the cooling of the halls of the building halls as well as the electrical for the hall lights and outside lights which is about $25. a month. The tenants should not have to pay to heat and cool the building and for the lights inside the building and outside. We have never seen these charges anywhere that they assess tenants. The tenants have to pay for their own power bill inside their unit which is normal, but it is expensive as their units are all electric. The manager is not able to be reached and does not care about her tenants welfare and the building is not being maintained properly. They raise the rent on tenants from $100 a year to $300 a year. They also have to pay to park out in the open or for a carport. In addition to all of these fees, they are expected to pay Greystar for pest control, a landline phone plus Internet and cable. They are assessed all of these fees every month. The rent there is over $1700.+ a month for a small two bedroom and two bath.

My 93 year old father and I toured 4 assisted living places and Truewood by Merrill Taylorsville was hands down our favorite. Dim set my dad up to play bingo and have lunch with current residents and then showed us a couple of rooms. Residents and staff were SO friendly!!! We loved the back, outside area and met several wonderful residents out walking their dogs. My dad will be moving in soon and he is so excited! He was getting lonely in his apartment and met people easily here. Well staffed. Dim and Gaylen were so helpful in getting us set up to move in and made my dad feel welcome.

I\'ve lived here over a year. Constantly understaffed. Med techs and assistants are good. We have a new nurse for the facility as of a couple months ago. Previous nurse constantly was late with providing us with refills. Constantly late with refills leaving us residents to go without. I\'m not aware if that\'s been resolved. Some of the attendants are not qualified to do your personal laundry. They don\'t seem to mind if they ruin your clothing. The dining room again understaffed, service is slow. Over half the time you could wait 30-45 minutes do you have your order taken and then anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour before you receive your food. Half the time it\'s on the cool side. Heaven forbid if you wish to ask for anything in the meantime such as butter or additional condiments. Anything over my base needs such as recovering from surgeries are out of the question. They\'ll just leave you hanging. Even though ask for additional service before, after the surgery, then it\'s a big No. It\'s the management that provides less than quality service. Though everyone is friendly. It\'s odd.

My wife moved to Sagewood at Daybreak in South Jordan. It's a nice place, it's got good people, and everything's not perfect, but it's pretty good. She's in a studio apartment. They have a pool, and they have reopened it. I also saw an exercise room, and a salon during the tour. They can also dine in the dining area.

I moved into Sagewood at Daybreak, and I'd been here for 5 months now. For the most part, I'm very happy with it. There are a couple of things I'm not happy about, but I just have to take what they offered, and I'm still happy overall. The staff is the best. I have an apartment with a kitchen, a bedroom, big-screen TV, and nice counter in the kitchen. It's in a good location, nearby a lot of stuff if you need to go out and shop or eat, and there's a lot of different restaurants in the area. The part that I was unhappy with the most is I plan on working out while I was there 'cause I work out every day, and their gym is closed for repairs. That's been 5 months, and it's still not fixed. I just go out for walks now, take my dog and take them for a walk. That was another nice part, they let you bring your dog with you. I was here in the summer, and at the time they would have a band play 5 days a week. They have a courtyard, and we could use that for many different things, and one of them was the band, usually just a small band, 3-piece, 2-piece, or a solo.They also have a lot of medical help for people. They have memory care for older people losing their memory to help restore it, and they're separated from the rest of the people. The food was very good, sometimes a little short on selection though, but it is very good. The building is amazing, like everything is new, nothing cheap is put in this building, nothing like you buy at the local hardware store. They have nice paneled doors and the lobby is amazing.
