Assisted living in Utah: costs, rules, and Salt Lake County records
Use Utah planning medians to build a budget, then narrow the decision with Haven's 99 reviewed Salt Lake County records. Statewide costs, Utah rules, Utah assisted-living licensing, and CMS nursing-home evidence remain separately labeled; none is a community quote, live opening, care-fit decision, or ranking.

Salt Lake County local directory
Looking specifically for assisted living? Browse the Salt Lake County Type I/II assisted-living public records in neutral name order, or use the broader directory below to see each source scope separately. For a narrower secure-bed search, use the Sandy memory-care record page or South Jordan memory-care record page. Each is a dated DLBC Type II subset, not proof of an active program, staffing, opening, safety, or individual care fit.

Senior care in Utah: common questions
How much does assisted living cost in Utah?
The assisted-living column shows about $4,685 per month for Utah from CareScout's 2024 provider survey. Memory care is about $4,806/month from a separate dataset of 2025 move-ins, and the semi-private nursing-home figure is about $8,365/month from CareScout's 2024 survey. These unlike sources should not be compared as one survey, and each community's current all-in quote may differ.
How many senior living communities are in Utah?
Haven's current Utah public-record pilot includes 99 reviewed Salt Lake County records. Profiles identify whether a fact comes from CMS nursing-home data, Utah assisted-living licensing, a review source, or a local market estimate. Broader research remains available by selecting a market, but it is not part of this public pilot.
How do I research senior living communities in Utah?
Start with the regulator data that applies: CMS star ratings, staffing, and inspection history for nursing homes; state licensing records for assisted living and memory care where available. Then compare local costs, tour 2–3 communities, and request written, dated answers about pricing, care acceptance, and openings from each community.
