Elk Meadows Assisted Living & Memory Care sits in the small town of Oakley, Utah, surrounded by views of the valley and Uinta Mountains, where you'll find residents and staff treating each other like family in a caring community. The building feels home-like, with a lodge-inspired design, a barn-style clubhouse, spacious studios and one-bedroom suites, and big windows and vaulted ceilings that let in lots of natural light. Rooms include kitchens with refrigerators and microwaves, private bathrooms designed for safety, and individual heating and air conditioning, plus cable TV, Wi-Fi, and telephones. There are several layouts for people to choose what suits them best, with options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite stays.
Staffed around the clock by registered nurses and certified nursing assistants, Elk Meadows offers help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and gives each resident a custom care plan. Residents who have Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia receive memory care in a secured area, with a nearly 3,000 square foot indoor and outdoor space, memory-enhancing programs, and therapies that help prevent wandering and confusion. Skilled nursing services cover rehabilitation, wound care, and comprehensive nursing support, and the community brings in occupational and physical therapists, offers mental health care, and helps with hospice when needed.
Residents eat meals together in restaurant-style dining or can get room service. The kitchen can provide special diets for vegetarians and those with health needs, and snacks are always around. A beauty parlor, salons, chapel, small libraries, and common areas give people places to relax and connect, and the gardens, patios, and views encourage them to get outdoors when they want some fresh air. The facility offers resident and visitor parking, and provides complimentary transportation, too.
Elk Meadows runs a full schedule of daily activities, both community-sponsored and resident-run, including games, music, Tai Chi, arts and crafts, lectures, story time, and Sunday church services. Some people lead their own groups for gardening or recreation, and there's a swimming pool, hot tub, and recreation rooms available. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are done for everyone, with private cleaning for each person's room. The facility allows for service coordination between licensed clinicians and provides services like podiatry and pharmacy visits on site.
Pets are allowed with some restrictions, and there's accommodation for special payment methods including checks and credit cards. Residents have choices in how much support they receive, with personal aides and companion care on call if needed, and the staff helps support physical and emotional wellbeing while aiming to let everyone keep as much independence as possible. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and visitors who stop by for meals often note the sense of kindness and respect. Elk Meadows has a reputation for clean facilities and dedicated staff, and has served the Summit County community for over 20 years.
