About The Retreat at SunRiver
The Retreat at SunRiver is a 60-resident senior community at 4480 South Arrowhead Canyon Drive in St. George, Utah, in central Washington County. The campus runs as part of Jaybird Senior Living, a portfolio operator with 54 senior communities across multiple states and more than eleven years of operating history. Both assisted living and memory care are offered on the property. Apartments come in full-sized private rooms, studios, and one-bedroom layouts, with private patios or decks attached to many units.
Each apartment includes a private bathroom, kitchenette, telephone, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and cable television, with all utilities included in the monthly rate (excluding personal phone service). The full-sized apartment format gives residents room to bring more of their own furniture and personal belongings than at a smaller residential setting. Day-to-day support spans bathing, dressing, transferring, medication management, and meal coordination.
The campus runs 24-hour awake staff for emergency response across both care sides, with continuous-shift caregiving and an emergency call system in every apartment. Memory care residents live with secured-side accommodations, with structured dementia routines and behavior support layered on the care plan. Dining runs restaurant-style with a professional chef, daily menus, and accommodations for vegetarian, international, low-sodium, and pureed meal needs.
Common areas include a movie theater, fitness center, library, game room, arts room, spa and wellness room, business room, and a community activity space. The activity calendar covers yoga, tai chi, stretching, book club, Bible study, card games, cooking classes, live performances, karaoke, and trivia. Outside, residents use walking paths, a garden, a gazebo, and BBQ areas. Monthly rates run from about $4,700 entry through $6,700 monthly for the larger one-bedroom apartments per current published listings.
Pricing depends on the resident's care plan, the apartment size, and the rate sheet active at admission. Concierge service, transportation arrangements, housekeeping, and laundry support the resident's day-to-day rhythm. The SunRiver location places St. George Regional Hospital roughly fifteen minutes north for routine and emergency clinical care. The Arrowhead Canyon Drive corridor sits in southwest St.
George near the Sun River master-planned community, with Sun River Golf Club within walking distance of the property. Bluff Street and Pioneer Parkway retail corridors reach within ten to fifteen minutes for visiting-family meals and shopping. Snow Canyon State Park and the broader Red Cliffs recreation areas sit within twenty to thirty minutes for outings. The combination of the 60-resident scale, the Jaybird Senior Living portfolio operator history, the full-sized apartments with private patios, the all-utilities-included monthly rate structure, and the SunRiver-adjacent setting in southwest St.
George makes The Retreat at SunRiver a notable Washington County option for families wanting a destination community with full-utility apartments and dual care.
