Cedarwood at Sandy sits on six acres beneath the Wasatch Mountains and brings together a mix of independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care options, so folks can get the right kind of help as needs change over time. The building has 122 independent living units and 61 for assisted living, plus memory care, and there's a real sense of community built around both private and shared spaces. Apartments all have their own kitchens, and most come with either a patio or balcony, while rooms also include kitchen appliances and basic cable. The place offers a lot for people who want to stay busy, with more than 200 activities to pick from every month, including field trips, garden clubs, billiards, cards, and even fitness classes held in a full fitness center with the equipment you'd expect. There are paths outside, gardening areas, sitting spots, a courtyard with a relaxing gazebo, and the grounds have mature trees and nice landscaping, which gives everything a calm, lived-in feeling.
The main lobby features a cozy fireplace, and the style inside leans modern but keeps things comfortable with plenty of light and a few rustic touches. When it comes to eating, there's a restaurant-style dining room with all-day dining from 7:30 am to 7:00 pm, menu options crafted by a chef that change with the seasons, and even catering for family get-togethers. Staff can help with house cleaning, maintenance, and offer transportation for shopping or outings. There's a salon on-site for hair care, and the community arranges religious services, making it easy for residents to stay connected with their faith. For those who need extra care, especially for memory challenges like Alzheimer's, there's a separate unit with trained staff and programs that focus on keeping folks safe and engaged. The Sarah Daft Home runs affordable assisted living services for those who qualify, too.
Residents here tend to describe the place as friendly and welcoming, with a staff that does its job well and helps everyone feel comfortable and secure. The community life focuses on wellness of mind, body, and spirit, so there are always activities designed for all kinds of needs and preferences. They've even got resources if you want to learn about funding options, like insurance, veterans benefits, Medicare, Medicaid, or tax help, because planning ahead matters. Cedarwood at Sandy isn't fancy for the sake of it and doesn't make big claims it can't back up; it's got what a lot of seniors look for in a retirement setting-a good place, useful services, and a caring community on solid ground, both in spirit and in location, giving people a chance to live comfortably and well as they grow older.
