Senior care guidance in Sandy

Sandy has one of the largest concentrations of assisted living and memory care in the valley. That's a good thing and a complicating thing — the quality range between two communities a mile apart can be enormous.

Lots of communities, very uneven quality

Marketing budgets do not correlate with care quality. Some of the best care in Sandy happens in modest buildings with long-tenured staff, and some of the glossiest tours end in a family moving their mother twice in one year.

What we look at instead: how long the caregivers and the executive director have been there, what happens on a Sunday night when someone falls, and how the community handles a resident whose needs increase.
