Highland Cove in Salt Lake City offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living programs, each designed to support residents who may be living with moderate dementia. The Assisted Living component provides regular help with daily activities while maintaining a level of resident autonomy, and the Independent Living program includes safety checks and optional support services so residents can add assistance as needs change. By integrating these two care types, the community can adapt quickly if a resident’s medical or cognitive status shifts, reducing the likelihood of disruptive moves to another facility.
Clinical oversight is reinforced by a nurse who is on call 24 hours a day, while in-room pull cords and personal emergency response systems send immediate alerts to staff. Care teams are prepared to provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer capabilities range from simple standby help to full Hoyer-lift transfers, including support for residents who are bed bound. This range allows the staff to accommodate changing mobility levels without delay, which can be critical in preventing falls and hospitalizations.
Many apartments feature a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and in-unit laundry, though not every residence includes every feature. Families can review specific floor plans to match a resident’s personal preferences and functional requirements.
Dining services include a set menu of regularly scheduled meals as well as an on-order option for residents who need or prefer something different at mealtime. Staff monitor nutritional intake and can coordinate with medical providers on special diets when necessary.
The property provides resident parking, an exercise room, a movie room, internet access, and landscaped communal gardens. It is near public transportation, and a community shuttle is available for medical appointments only. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
