How many independent living communities are listed on this page?

How do I choose the right independent living community 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.

What should I look for when visiting independent living communities 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.
