Alta Ridge Assisted Living of Sandy sits in Sandy, Utah, with easy access to I-15 and I-215 and has close proximity to shopping, restaurants, hospitals, and doctors' offices, and you can even see the Wasatch Mountains and the city from some spots, and in terms of living options you'll find both studio and one-bedroom apartments including Vista, Alpine, Canyon, and Ridge Studio models, as well as memory care studios called The Meadow and The Summit, and they keep the decor bright and cheery with common areas, garden views, built-in storage, and hardwood-style flooring for a comfortable, home-like feel, and every unit comes with its own air conditioning and heating. The facility allows pets and provides three chef-prepared meals daily, all made from scratch with seasonal ingredients, natural herbs, and accommodations for special diets, and these meals get served in a welcoming dining room where shared mealtimes help people connect, and they do weekly outings, art and music classes, book clubs, gentle exercise, brain games, happy hours, and ice cream socials with lots of simple but engaging daily activities, plus life enrichment kits for more involvement and purpose.
Residents must be at least 55 and can choose from private and semi-private rooms, with flexible payment options including private pay, social security, veteran's benefits, and insurance, and the staff are always awake and available 24 hours a day, ready to offer round-the-clock care, medication assistance, bathing, dressing, grooming, daily housekeeping, laundry, and help with moving from bed to wheelchair if that's needed, and they will handle incontinence management as long as the resident manages it themselves. The facility offers diabetic care by helping with blood sugar checks, though they don't give insulin injections. The split for care is about half in need of medium assistance and half in need of heavier help, and they have a low resident-to-staff ratio, owners on site every day, and individualized care plans. Nurses carry out regular health checks and work alongside Alzheimer's caregivers to help folks with dementia or Alzheimer's feel secure and cared for.
Alta Ridge supplies things like walk-in tubs, home security, Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, ADT Medical Alert, personal call systems, and recorded monitoring to increase safety and peace of mind, and people who need end-of-life care, hospice, or memory care will find those services here, including daycare and respite care, and there are programs for personal grooming, hygiene services, and education workshops or seminars so folks can stay informed. Scheduled transportation to doctors happens up to three times each month, and there's transportation for activities too. They do allow for companion care, encourage independence but give help when someone needs it, and focus on helping residents stay connected-working with groups like Utah Food Bank for community support, which is important for many. While specific activities aren't always listed, there's a steady effort to have things to do inside as well as offsite devotional services if someone's interested. The atmosphere stresses warmth and a feeling of family, and in over 25 years of senior care, this locally owned place has earned a reputation for simple, home-like surroundings where people know each other, and there's always an emphasis on dignity, individualized care, and making sure daily life stays as normal and enjoyable as possible.
