Twin Oaks Senior Living in Salt Lake City provides three levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—under one roof. Residents with complex needs such as wandering behaviors, elopement risk, combative or other behavioral issues, oxygen therapy requirements, special diets, or diabetes (oral medications or sliding-scale insulin) can be accommodated. The community also supports advanced dementia conditions, offering specialized programs designed to maintain safety and engagement. A visiting podiatrist handles routine foot care, and on-site staff can coordinate with outside providers for additional medical services. By integrating clinical oversight with daily support, the community aims to reduce hospital trips and help residents remain in familiar surroundings.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, with a nurse on call 24/7. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift monitors residents through door alarms, pull cords, and a PERS system. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and transfer help ranges from standby supervision to one-person assists for walkers or wheelchairs. An activity director plans structured and spontaneous programming throughout the day, while 24-hour security ensures doors remain secured yet accessible for emergencies.
Apartments at Twin Oaks vary in layout; some offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable hookups, while others may offer only a portion of these features. Residents are free to paint and decorate their spaces within safety guidelines, allowing them to create a familiar environment. Housekeeping, maintenance, and laundry services are provided based on the chosen living package, so residents can focus on daily routines rather than chores.
Meals are prepared by the culinary team with both a set menu and an on-order option at each sitting. Snacks are available between meals, and the kitchen accommodates physician-ordered diets, carb-controlled menus for diabetics, texture modifications, and other dietary adjustments. Independent Living residents can enroll in a monthly meal plan, receive medication-management monitoring, and enjoy routine housekeeping and laundry services—all aimed at preserving autonomy while providing an added layer of support.
The campus includes resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center, barber and beauty services, and high-speed internet access. Outdoor smokers have a designated area, and pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Residents can stroll in communal gardens or attend on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation, along with proximity to public transit, simplifies trips to appointments or shopping excursions.
