Chancellor Gardens

1425 S 1500 E, Clearfield, UT 84015
Overview of Chancellor Gardens

Chancellor Gardens is an assisted living and memory care community in Clearfield, Utah, on South 1500 East. With 152 beds, it is one of the larger senior living options in the area, and it has been serving the community for about 25 years. That combination of scale and longevity can matter to families who want an established provider with room to accommodate changing needs over time.

The community supports residents with daily personal care, including regular health checks, medication management, and help with everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, alongside housekeeping and a schedule of organized activities. Because it offers both assisted living and memory care, it can serve residents who need routine daily support as well as those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia who benefit from a more structured, secure setting. Pets are welcome, which many residents find helps a new place feel more like home.

State licensing inspections have pointed most often to operational areas such as medication administration, resident assessments, and emergency preparedness rather than the broader quality of daily life. Families touring the community may find it worthwhile to ask how those specific processes are managed day to day.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Utah

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Utah?

Assisted living in Utah supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Utah?

Assisted living in Utah is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Utah Medicaid cover assisted living?

Utah Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Utah) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 157 assisted living facilities in Utah. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Utah?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Utah, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Utah?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
