Sunridge Assisted Living of Layton sits over on Angel Street in Layton, Utah, and's been caring for seniors since 1997, so there's a lot of experience behind the staff, who're always on hand to help with anything from bathing and dressing to taking medicine and making sure folks stay comfortable and safe. Folks live in a clean, home-like place, with 56 units, and there's a choice between private and semi-private studio or one-bedroom apartments-some have walk-in closets, granite countertops, emergency call buttons, kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves, and everyone gets cable TV and Wi-Fi, while the larger apartments have big ceilings, private bathrooms, and huge closets that make it feel roomy. There's always housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning so no one has to fuss about chores or linen changes, plus there's a nurse on staff, nurse assistants, and even physical, occupational, and speech therapists for those who need extra help.
They offer three meals a day in the dining room-people get nourishing food, and there are special diets for folks who need them, with help eating if that's required, and if someone needs to get somewhere like a doctor's appointment, there's scheduled transportation. The staff assists with getting around, and the building's got all sorts of safety and handicap features, sprinkler systems, and guest parking for visitors, while people can use the personal call system anytime. Pets are considered too, including small ones, so those who want to keep a furry friend usually can, and there's good natural light throughout, with rooms that feel bright and open.
There's a strong sense of community at Sunridge, with a focus on friendship and activity, so there are always things to do like arts and crafts, devotional gatherings, indoor and outdoor games, a fitness center, a salon and barbershop, and even spots for grandchildren like a swing set and outdoor fire pit. People with memory needs can use the secured memory care unit, which's got a private courtyard, and the specialized Alzheimer's caregivers help residents feel safe and comfortable. Those needing memory care or non-ambulatory care get assistance with moving, managing medications, incontinence, and special care for dementia, backed by simple floorplans and careful monitoring systems. Individual care plans mean everyone gets exactly what's needed, whether help with grooming, mobility, eating, or hygiene, and regular wellness checks are done by a registered nurse.
The team is known as Super Caregivers, trained to be responsible and compassionate, and every day owners are on-site, keeping an eye on things and making sure everyone's happy and as independent as possible. There's a focus on making folks smile, laugh, and feel at home, and family can be involved whenever they wish. Sunridge is locally owned and works alongside Atlas Homecare and Hospice for hospice, end-of-life care, home health, and skilled medical care like diabetic support and therapy, so residents don't have to move if their needs change. Staff keep the resident-to-caregiver ratio low for more personal attention, and with over 25 years in senior care, they know how to provide comfort, privacy, and safety, whether someone's seeking daily living help, memory care, respite, or daycare, and they keep the place beautiful inside and out, with gardens, flower beds, community areas, and regular community activities that help everyone stay active and connected.
