St. Joseph Senior Living sits in Salt Lake City, Utah, not far from places like the Family History Library and Big Cottonwood Canyon, and has served seniors since 1927, building a long history of supporting residents' well-being. The staff and caregivers greet folks by name each day and offer help with bathing, grooming, dressing, medication, and meals, keeping a focus on making sure everyone feels valued and comfortable. The community holds a 4-star overall quality rating from Medicare.gov and a 4.5-star "Excellent" average from six reviews, reflecting strong performance according to both residents and regulators, and provides round-the-clock help with 24-hour video camera surveillance, an emergency pendant call system, and on-call nursing and home health agencies always available.
Residents can choose from different care levels, with options for independent living, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, long-term care, skilled nursing, home care, and hospice care. There are studio apartments and suites, some with kitchenettes, all with wall-to-wall carpeting, scenic views, Wi-Fi, cable, and features like private or shared layouts, and the move-in fee equals one month's rent. Housekeeping staff clean weekly and handle deep cleans twice a year, and there are laundry machines on each floor for those who want to do their own washing.
Meals are served restaurant-style in a bright, light-filled dining room, and chefs work on fresh, nutritious menus with options residents can suggest or customize, so everyone gets something they'd like. The grounds have walking paths, a courtyard, outdoor seating, and gardens, while the inside has a library, game and hobby rooms, a beauty and barber shop with a licensed cosmetologist, and spaces for activities such as poker, arts and crafts, music, billiards, dominoes, and movies, and residents often meet daily for these events, building friendships and a sense of belonging. The community gives scheduled van rides three times a week for medical appointments and shopping, encourages outings to local places or events, and supports daily living needs-all within a secure environment.
Therapies use new research and state-of-the-art equipment, and the care team works with residents and their families to personalize plans and programs, always focusing on comfort, safety, and quality of life. Therapists provide both hands-on and high-tech approaches, helping each resident with what fits them best, whether that's physical therapy, fitness, memory support, or just a helping hand. Pets are welcome with some policies, and the staff plans plenty of group activities, healthy outings, fitness classes, spiritual services, and gardening time. Apartments come with monthly rates that cover most services, and the in-house fee structure keeps things simple, though the community hasn't published detailed pricing.
The management group, Purple Door, LLC, and all staff aim every day to create a homelike place where people feel safe, cared for, and included, emphasizing open communication and friendly support. Residents can see artwork in the halls, relax in comfortable rooms, use high-speed internet, and join community events.
