About Sunrise of Sandy
Sunrise of Sandy is a 116-resident senior community at 2130 East 9400 South in Sandy, Utah, set at the base of Little Cottonwood Canyon with views of the Wasatch range. The campus runs as part of Sunrise Senior Living, a national operator with more than three decades of memory care programming. Three care offerings are published on a single campus: assisted living, memory care, and short-term stays.
Assisted living apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. Memory care lives in a secured neighborhood of about twenty-four apartments, with studios, one-bedroom apartments, and companion suites for shared occupancy. Each apartment has a private bathroom, kitchenette, telephone, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and cable television, with furnished options on request. Published rate snapshots place assisted living from about $4,256 monthly for studios up to about $4,894 for two-bedrooms, and memory care from about $6,293 for companion suites to about $8,147 for one-bedrooms.
Care-level adjustments depend on the resident's plan and the rate sheet active at admission. Memory care runs the Sunrise Reminiscence Program, with caregivers trained for dementia communication and structured engagement built around each resident's history. Nursing coverage runs around the clock, with an on-site licensed nurse conducting regular wellness visits. The campus has carried Champion of Quality Care and Horizon Circle for Leadership recognitions inside the Sunrise portfolio.
Day-to-day life centers on chef-crafted dining, with restaurant-style service, all-day options, and a grab-and-go bistro. Tablet-based dining technology supports personalized dietary coordination across meals. Common areas include a fitness room, beauty salon, library, game room, business room, spa and wellness room, movie theater, activity room, and volunteer program. Outside, the courtyard, garden, and walking paths face the Wasatch range.
The Sandy location puts the property a short drive from Alta View Hospital for routine and emergency clinical care, with Intermountain Medical Center in Murray reachable in roughly fifteen to twenty minutes north for additional clinical options. Quarry Bend, South Towne Center, and the Sandy Mall corridor reach within five to ten minutes for visiting-family meals and shopping. The 9400 South block sits in established residential east Sandy near the Little Cottonwood Canyon mouth, with quiet streets and easy parking for visitors.
The combination of the canyon-base setting, the Reminiscence-Program memory care neighborhood, the chef-crafted multi-room dining program, and the Sunrise Senior Living operator history makes Sunrise of Sandy a notable Salt Lake County option for families wanting a destination senior community on the south end of the valley.
