Highland Cove Retirement
Highland Cove Retirement offers assisted living and independent living in Millcreek, UT. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps their own apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. With both care levels available, Highland Cove Retirement may be a good fit for someone whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move to another community.
Housing options include studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments. The different layouts provide a single private space as well as larger options for a resident who wants more room or a couple moving together. A Walk Score of 56 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be done on foot. Residents who no longer drive may be able to reach some nearby errands independently, while other trips may require transportation, and pets are allowed when residents move in.
