Overview of Abbington Manor Al II

Abbington Manor Al II is a licensed assisted living community in Lehi, Utah, offering assisted living support, memory care services, and related daily assistance. As a Type II assisted living community under the Utah Department of Health and Human Services since December 2004, the community offers a smaller, more intimate care setting for residents, with 33 beds.

The most recent state inspection on January 10, 2024, identified 11 deficiencies, which is below Utah’s statewide average of 14. Cited concerns included incomplete department-approved care competency training, medication administration errors observed during medication passes, unsecured hazardous materials such as oxygen tanks, and incomplete emergency planning documentation. No complaint investigations or enforcement actions were reported. Due to its limited historical inspection data, long-term trends are difficult to evaluate.

The community provides nursing services with 24-hour staffing support from licensed nurses and CNAs, as well as rehabilitation and respite care options. Despite its smaller size, the community offers a broad range of amenities, including housekeeping services, gourmet dining, laundry support, scheduled transportation, a movie theater, fitness center, salon, and library. Three chef-prepared meals daily are also provided, along with programming that includes fitness classes, book clubs, and organized outings designed to encourage engagement and social connection. However, pets are not permitted within the community.

Frequently Asked Questions about Independent Living in Utah

What is independent living?

Independent living communities are residential settings for active older adults — typically with private apartments or cottages, shared amenities (dining, fitness, activities), and no built-in medical care.

How many independent living communities are listed on this page?

This page features 60 independent living communities in Utah. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

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. 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 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. 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.
