About The Ridge at Foothill
The Ridge at Foothill is a 162-resident senior community at 2363 South Foothill Drive in the Foothill area of Salt Lake City, Utah, in central Salt Lake County. The campus runs as part of The Ridge Senior Living, the locally owned operator that also runs The Ridge Cottonwood in nearby Holladay. Four offerings sit on the campus: assisted living, memory care, senior apartments, and respite stays for short-term placements.
The memory care side is a designated Music and Memory facility, with music integrated into residents' daily routines as a clinical and emotional intervention for dementia. The dementia care team includes Teepa Snow-certified staff members, providing a research-backed, person-centered framework for working with memory-loss residents. The memory support program has earned the Pinnacle Customer Experience Award in consecutive years.
Day-to-day support spans bathing, dressing, transferring, medication management, and meal coordination across the assisted-living side, with licensed nurses on the caregiving staff for clinical questions and care-plan adjustments. Continuous-shift caregiving runs across both care levels, with structured engagement layered into the memory care neighborhood. Dining runs through a chef-prepared culinary program with daily menus designed to surprise and delight rather than recycle the standard senior-living menu loop.
The campus runs a cinema room and salon services alongside the activity calendar, with personalized care planning and wellness programming layered on the daily routine. The Foothill Drive location places the property a short distance from the University of Utah, Huntsman Cancer Institute and Hospital, and University Hospital for routine, oncology, and emergency clinical care, which is one of the strongest hospital-adjacency profiles of any Utah senior community.
Mount Olympus and the Wasatch range fill the eastern skyline from the building. For visiting families, Foothill Village shopping reaches within walking distance, with the broader Sugar House and 2300 East commercial corridors reachable in five to ten minutes. Liberty Park, Sugar House Park, and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail sit within a short drive for outings. The University of Utah cultural and athletic events sit a few minutes north for residents who want to stay engaged with city life.
The combination of the 162-resident scale, the Music and Memory designated memory care neighborhood, the Teepa Snow-certified dementia team, the licensed-nurse caregiving staff, and the University-of-Utah-and-Huntsman hospital adjacency makes The Ridge at Foothill a notable Salt Lake County option for families wanting a destination community-format senior building close to the city's clinical core.
