About Best Assisted Living
Best Assisted Living is a 4-resident Type 1 senior home at 2499 East Charros Road in Sandy, Utah, in southeast Salt Lake County. The home runs at the smallest residential scale on the Wasatch foothills, with a focus on close personal attention and family-style daily routines rather than the larger multi-care campuses common across Salt Lake County. Apartment monthly pricing publishes from $2,000 per Senior Blue Book.
Final pricing depends on the room chosen, the resident's care needs, and the rate sheet in force at admission. Care scope is Type 1, covering bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, and medication assistance at the residential-home scale. Three meals plus healthy snacks each day are prepared in the home kitchen, served family-style at a shared table. Rooms come fully furnished, with mountain views from the Charros Road foothills setting.
The home is licensed by the State of Utah to accept the New Choices Waiver, an unusual feature at the smallest residential scale that opens a pathway for residents transitioning out of nursing-home care who qualify for Medicaid waiver funding. Day-to-day amenities cover housekeeping service, laundry, scheduled transportation, an activity calendar sized for the four-resident scale, and an adult-day-program option for non-resident participants.
Small pets live with their residents under the home's pet policy. The Charros Road setting puts the home on the Wasatch foothills at the southeastern edge of the Salt Lake Valley. Alta View Hospital sits about 6 minutes north for clinical care; Lone Peak Hospital provides a backup option at roughly 10 minutes south. Quarry Bend retail covers visiting-family meals five minutes off the home, with Fashion Place Mall and other Sandy retail districts a short additional drive.
A 4-resident family-style scale, Type 1 care licensure, New Choices Waiver acceptance, mountain-view furnished rooms, and small-pet housing position Best Assisted Living as a strong fit for Salt Lake County families wanting the smallest possible residential setting in southeast Sandy.
