Ashford Assisted Living / Memory Care Draper

Ashford of Draper is a 118-bed senior community on Bangerter Parkway in Draper, Utah, offering assisted living and memory care under one roof. The address is 14178 S. Bangerter Parkway, and the property is the largest senior-care address in the southern Salt Lake Valley by bed count. The continuum-of-care setup allows residents to move between care levels as their needs evolve without changing buildings.

Care planning is tuned to each resident, with around-the-clock staff coverage, daily medication management, weekly housekeeping, and a transitions team that handles the move from assisted living into the memory-care wing when needed. Medicaid is accepted at this community. Memory-care residents number about 30 of the 118 total beds, with the remainder on the assisted-living side. The day flows through bright shared spaces designed for activity, including a dining room, lounges, library, and outdoor courtyards that residents use across both care levels.

The activity calendar spans music, group games, religious services, family events on holidays, and bus trips into the surrounding Draper area for shopping or restaurants. The memory-care wing maintains its own dedicated team and a secured courtyard for safe outdoor time, separate from the open-access common areas of the assisted-living side. The memory-care wing draws on multi-year tenure within the caregiving team and steady continuity of care across both wings.

The property changed ownership in late 2025, with WellQuest Senior Living (a California-based operator) taking over from the previous Ashford Senior Communities operator. The continuum-of-care setup, Medicaid acceptance, and the well-rated memory-care wing remain the property's defining features for southern Salt Lake Valley families. Draper sits in the southern Salt Lake Valley along Bangerter Parkway, with quick access to I-15 a few minutes east and Riverton Hospital roughly 10 minutes south for medical needs.

The Outlets at Traverse Mountain are about 15 minutes south for shopping, and Lone Peak Wilderness trails are accessible for visiting family who want to combine a visit with outdoor time. The neighborhood mixes residential streets with retail along Bangerter, and parking around the property is straightforward. The community is operated by WellQuest Senior Living, the California-based operator that took over from Ashford Senior Communities in fall 2025.

Ashford remains the largest senior-care address in the southern Salt Lake Valley, and the continuum-of-care setup paired with Medicaid acceptance makes this a notable option for Draper-area families with changing care needs.
