The Wellington sits against the Wasatch Mountains and you'll notice those views from many spots around the property, which is a three-story building filled with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. You'll find roomy accommodations with wood-style floors, plenty of light, and kitchens or kitchenettes in the units, and if you need extra space, they've got deluxe one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments as well as private bedrooms and common rooms to spend time with others. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance come standard, so there's no need to worry about chores or repairs, and the staff is around 24 hours a day to help with things like medication, dressing, bathing, and whatever else might come up.
At The Wellington, there's independent living for people who don't need much help, assisted living for folks who want some support with daily activities, and memory care with individualized plans and activities for residents living with dementia or Alzheimer's, all together on the same campus so people don't have to move if their needs change. There's also a skilled nursing center for those who may need more hands-on care, and if hospice or rehabilitation becomes necessary, the staff can provide that too. Safety is a big part of life here because the building has handrails, wide doorways, grab bars, an emergency call system, and sprinklers.
Meals come prepared by skilled kitchen staff and are served in a restaurant-style dining room, though you can also cook in your own kitchen or grab a bite from the bistro which sometimes has grab-and-go lunches; there's always a way to have your dietary needs met, whether you're there for a special event in a private dining room or just want something tailored for your health. Entertainment, education, and wellness activities fill the calendar, from arts and crafts in the art studio, computer classes in the computer room, and book clubs in the library, to gardening groups outdoors and music nights in the recreation room, not to mention movie nights and speaker events. There's also a fitness center, outings for shopping, scenic drives, group games, and clubs for just about any interest, including cooking and discussion.
The Wellington welcomes pets and keeps its grounds landscaped with gardens and patios for residents and their visitors, who can park on-site and even stay overnight in special rooms if needed. The building has free high-speed internet, cable TV, and plenty of space for gatherings with family or friends. The property offers transportation for errands, medical visits, or outings, usually scheduled six days a week, and has its own full-service salon and barber shop. In-room help, room service, linen service, and special assistance with chores are easy to arrange as needed, and weekly housekeeping is routine.
Community life here means card games, pool in the game room, conversations in common areas, and activities that help everyone get to know each other, which is something the MBK Senior Living team encourages through their MBK Mind + Body Wellness program and other personalized attention. Veterans and those needing help navigating long-term care insurance will find assistance, and there are regular religious services for anyone who wants to attend. The Wellington runs as a continuing care retirement community, so once you move in, you have choices for different levels of care or support as your needs and wishes change over time, and you can join in for a tour before moving in to see if it feels right.
