Gardens Assisted Living
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Specifically, it reflects missing emergency radio and out-of-date first aid certification.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.
