Overview of Gardens Assisted Living

Gardens Assisted Living, a 74-bed community at 1450 9th St in Ogden, Weber County, stands out for its extended operating history. Since its opening in 1978, the facility has completed nearly five decades of continuous operation; the longest tenure among all licensed assisted living providers in Utah.

Active licensing confirms current good standing.

Three inspections since 2025 documented nine deficiencies in the facility’s most recent routine visit on June 25. The deficiency rate is 14 percent higher than Utah’s 7.9-per-year average, and reflects recurring gaps in employee tuberculosis screening, medication administration documentation, staff training completion, and emergency equipment.

Specifically, it reflects missing emergency radio and out-of-date first aid certification. A narcotic log left unattended on a medication cart and incomplete fire-drill documentation signal systemic processes that need tightening.

No fines or enforcement actions appear in the record; no complaint investigations have been filed.

Gardens houses studio apartments in three sizes and offers transportation and fitness and recreation services. Assisted living and memory care services support residents needing daily assistance. The facility does not participate in Medicare or Medicaid, accepting only private-pay residents.

The low census recorded during inspection showed 13 residents in a 57-bed operational space, suggesting current availability.

The community occupies a location 3.5 miles from downtown Ogden, with Madison Community Health Center less than 2.2 miles away.

Situated in a car-dependent neighborhood, Gardens serves residents with independent transportation seeking a long-established, privately operated assisted living option in the Ogden area, with some concerns regarding medication management and staff training deficiencies.

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 170 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.
