West Jordan Care Center sits at 3350 West 7800 South in West Jordan, Utah, and you'll find this is a full-service health facility with 82 licensed beds serving seniors, adults with intellectual disabilities, and those who need intermediate care. The center belongs to Mission Health Services, a nonprofit group, and it has won Best of State awards in skilled nursing many times from 2012 to 2021 along with American Healthcare Association's Non-profit of the Year in 2012. The place has a calm, caring environment with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and support, and people work hard there to help residents keep their independence for as long as possible while still giving hands-on help with things like bathing, dressing, getting around, and managing medication. Meals with special diets, a newly remodeled setting, private bathrooms or kitchenettes in many rooms, cable and Wi-Fi, and 24-hour emergency call systems bring peace of mind and convenience.
Families and residents see a lot of services here, like physical, speech, and occupational therapy, preventive care, and laboratory services, and there's access to nurses, wound care, podiatry, and dietitian support. You'll find memory care programs in secure, supervised areas for people with dementia and cognitive issues, including specialized dementia care waivers and non-ambulatory assistance for folks who can't walk. The center serves medically fragile adults, including those with intellectual disabilities or brain injuries before age 22, and offers care for those transitioning through the Department of Services for People with Disabilities (DSPD). Residents have options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and respite stays, with their own personalized care plans and help for daily living, and the place is open to people under state and federal programs like Medicare, Medicaid, VA Aid and Attendance, the Aging Waiver, and the Older Americans Act.
Community life thrives with daily activities, movie nights, arts, music, scheduled outings, and even Resident Council groups, with programs like the HEAT program and Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program for low-income seniors.

Skilled nursing services, rehabilitation after illness or surgery, in-home care, adult day care, home modifications, and respite support are all available, along with long-term and short-term stays.
