Crystal Grove sits in a quiet Mapleton neighborhood, up against mountain views, and the houses fit right in with the local walking paths and trees all around, and they've really set it up so folks can get the help they need without feeling like they're in a big institution. It's a board and care home community at 830 N Main St, and what that means is they have small neighborhood homes where a handful of seniors live together, and there're live-in caregivers to help with everyday things like bathing and dressing. The place keeps to a calm, like-home atmosphere, and you'll find private rooms with Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, and wheelchair accessible showers, and you don't see a lot of fuss or formality. They've got a straightforward monthly rate for private rooms, which is $2,000, and they try to make the cost fair for the area.
Crystal Grove offers several care types, like assisted living, skilled nursing, independent living, and memory care, and there are specific supports for folks who are non-ambulatory, who need help with incontinence or medication, or who have high-acuity or memory care needs like Alzheimer's or dementia. The memory care uses things like Wander Guard systems to keep residents safe if they tend to wander. There's round-the-clock support when it's needed, and specialized programs focus on memory enhancement and personal care, and the staff can step in with rehabilitation, wound care, and support with daily routines. They welcome respite or short-term stays.
Meals come with the stay, and it's restaurant-style, so folks can look forward to not having to cook, and there's a beautician on-site if residents want a haircut or other grooming. Residents can go to devotional activities, stretching classes, live music or theater events, BBQs, and picnics, and come and go on various outings-though transportation is available at cost, so it's something to ask about if someone doesn't drive. They offer both on-site and off-site activities and have indoor common areas with things like a fireplace, a TV lounge, and even a piano or organ. For folks who smoke, that's allowed outdoors.
There's an effort to keep the place both welcoming and active, so folks aren't sitting around all day, and the housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning help keep things tidy for everyone. Parking is uncovered but is available for residents, and language shouldn't get in the way since both English and Spanish are spoken by staff.
Crystal Grove also has connections to family medicine clinics and provides various health care services, including memory care, ambulatory care, diabetic, and incontinence care, plus medication management. Their medical team includes nurse practitioners, DOs, and MDs. They also have a medical advisory board, a caregiver intranet for professionals, and ties to area hospitals such as Utah Valley Hospital and Primary Children's Hospital, so residents can get higher-level care if it's needed. Online scheduling and accepting new patients make it easier for families to manage appointments.
The housing and services at Crystal Grove are built for seniors who want a quieter, smaller-scale setting but still need steady help and medical support. The community tries to offer a balance of lived-in comfort with the right kind of assistance, especially for those facing memory issues or who can't manage on their own anymore. There's always extra support for residents who need more than average care, whether it's just a few meals a week or complete daily assistance. That's the general idea behind life at Crystal Grove in Mapleton.
