Our House Of Orem II is an assisted living facility in Orem, Utah, with a care license for 16 residents from Utah's Department of Social Services, and what folks usually notice first is how it's tucked into a quiet area with walking paths and gardens where residents can go outside and take a stroll or just sit out and enjoy some fresh air in the shade, and they've also got a hot tub, a steam room or health area, and a book room so there are always places to go in the building if the weather's not great, while the apartments themselves have their own washer and dryer, balcony, and air conditioning, so it's pretty comfortable for folks who want a bit more privacy or independence, and even though residents pay their own electricity and gas, rent covers water and internet which makes the bills a little simpler to handle, and the cable and internet's also set up in common areas so people who like to be social can just step out to those spaces. The assisted living apartments offer three bedrooms and two bathrooms-1,293 square feet, which some folks say is more space than they'd expected-and there's off-street parking if you've still got a car or if visitors come by, which is handy because transportation's also a big help here, since they've got rides for doctor's visits, shopping, and faith-based activities.
Meals are made fresh every day, and there are three a day included, with snacks as well, and if someone's got diabetes or special food allergies, the kitchen can set up special meals, so there's less worrying about diet needs; and they've got a dining room where you can eat with the group, plus an option for all-day dining if your schedule's a little different. Laundry, housekeeping, and even beauty salon and barber visits are available, which helps people keep up with the chores and self-care. Staff are on-site 24 hours, including certified nursing assistants, and they do personalized care plans, medication reminders, help with showers, transfers, dressing, grooming, and even incontinence care if needed; plus, there's an emergency alert system and security features so people can feel safe if they wander at night or need extra attention.
Residents can bring their pets and keep them in their apartments, since the community is pet-friendly, and they have small group activities each day-like crafts, fitness classes, recreation rooms, movie nights, music, sometimes animal visits, and even board games or bingo, so everybody's got a chance to keep active or just have a little fun with neighbors, and if somebody needs short-term respite or adult day care, those services are available too on a month-to-month lease which can work well for families who need a break or just want to try things out. There's also memory care for folks who need extra reminders or support with daily activities due to dementia or cognitive challenges, so a person can stay right here if their needs change over time, and staff try their best to keep it a warm and welcoming home by offering a "WOW" experience with personal attention, even arranging their "move-in coordination" so things go as smoothly as possible when a new resident arrives, and there's wheelchair access throughout for people with limited mobility.
All in all, Our House Of Orem II keeps things simple but covers a lot of ground for older adults who need different levels of care, and with private and semi-private options as well as a steady list of daily activities, services, and social gatherings, the facility gives residents a good range of choices to suit different preferences-offering a close-knit, small community feel with helpful staff, a safe environment, and flexible care for changing health or living needs.
