Summerfield Retirement in Orem, Utah, operates as an assisted-living community. Residents receive support with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility while still maintaining a level of personal independence. The assisted-living program is designed to adapt as needs change, allowing residents to add or reduce services without changing apartments.
Additional clinical support is available on site. A licensed nurse oversees medication management and coordinates care for residents who require diabetes monitoring and insulin administration. Visiting professionals—including a podiatrist and physical therapist—provide routine and as-needed services. The staff can deliver ambulatory assistance, incontinence care, memory care programming for residents with cognitive decline, and hospice care when appropriate, ensuring continuity of care without unnecessary transfers.
Housing options at Summerfield Retirement vary, and not every unit includes every feature. Floor plans can accommodate residents with pets, and some apartments are equipped with wheelchair-accessible showers. Outdoor sitting areas and walking paths give residents places to enjoy fresh air, and on-site parking is available for those who still drive or have visiting family members.
The dining program centers on chef-prepared meals served three times a day in a communal dining room. Menus rotate to offer balanced nutrition and can be adjusted for individual dietary needs, including low-sugar options for residents managing diabetes. Snacks and beverages are accessible between meals, and staff monitor intake when required.
Residents have use of an activity center for crafts, games, and exercise sessions. Scheduled social outings keep residents connected with the broader Orem community, and the grounds allow residents to spend time outdoors when weather permits.
