Alta Ridge Memory Care in Sandy, Utah, is a dedicated memory-care community equipped to serve residents living with all stages of dementia. The team is prepared to manage behaviors such as daytime and nighttime wandering, elopement risk, and residents who remain awake throughout the night. Clinical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, younger residents under 60, and diabetics controlled with oral medications. All care plans are individualized, and the staff is trained to adjust support as cognitive or physical needs change.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day. The building uses door alarms, Wander Guard technology, and in-room pull cords to alert staff quickly. On-site professionals include occupational and physical therapists, a podiatrist, dentist, hospice team, and nurses who provide medication management, ambulatory and incontinence care. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive hands-on help, and mobility support ranges from standby assistance to one-person transfers for those using walkers or wheelchairs.
Private and companion apartments are available, and basic cable is included so residents can keep up with news or entertainment. Not every unit has identical features, so families should confirm specific details—such as room size or storage configurations—during a tour.
Meals are prepared to accommodate a variety of nutritional needs, including vegetarian, vegan, organic, gluten-free, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar menus. The all-day dining program allows residents to eat on their own schedule, and staff members are available to provide full assistance for anyone who needs help cutting food, lifting utensils, or receiving cueing.
Residents can take advantage of a movie room for on-site screenings, reliable internet access for staying connected, and a library for quiet reading or small group activities.
