People living with Alzheimer's and dementia hold on best to memories from their younger years. Every day here is built around that.
Every day is designed around connection, purpose and joy. Our structured programming supports seniors with normal aging and those living with Alzheimer's and dementia.
Activities are chosen for their benefits: less anxiety, more time with others and better sleep at night. Our staff meets each person where they are.

Does Medicare cover senior day center?
Traditional Medicare (Parts A and B) does not. Utah Medicaid waivers do, for eligible seniors. Some Medicare Advantage plans may have limited benefits.
Do you accept seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Yes. We support people from mild memory concerns to moderate dementia, with structured activities, steady routines and experienced staff.
What if my parent doesn't want to go?
It is a common worry. Start with a tour, then a trial day. Most people settle in quickly, and our staff welcome new people with patience.
