Valencia at Draper

Valencia at Draper is a 106-resident senior community at 11631 South 700 East in Draper, Utah, in southern Salt Lake County. The campus runs as part of Appian Management, the same locally owned operator behind The Valencia at Cottonwood Heights and the Willow Creek campus. Day-to-day life centers on two care offerings: assisted living and memory care, with the memory care side running as a secured wing of about twenty-three apartments.

The memory care programming distinguishes itself from typical secured-wing approaches by explicitly addressing the harder behavioral patterns that come with dementia. Programs are built to support residents who wander during the day or night, attempt elopement, or live with combative or other challenging behaviors. The structured framework gives families a place to consider for residents whose dementia journey has progressed beyond what a typical secured-side memory care program handles.

Day-to-day support spans bathing, dressing, transferring, medication management, and meal coordination across both care levels. Continuous-shift caregiving runs 24-hour on the campus, with personalized care plans built around each resident's level of need. Wheelchair access runs across all common spaces, with resident parking available for visiting families. Common spaces include an exercise room, movie room, barber and beauty shop, library, and communal gardens for outdoor time.

On-site religious services run on the campus, giving residents a faith routine without leaving the building. Smoking is permitted in dedicated outdoor spaces. Scheduled community shuttles run to medical appointments, with public transit accessible from the property for visiting families. Monthly rates begin around $3,350 per current published listings, depending on the floor plan and care needs. Specific cost depends on the resident's care plan and the rate sheet active at admission.

Medicaid beds are available alongside private pay, with eligibility and timing reviewed against the resident's situation. Pets are welcome on the campus, with size, breed, and any pet-fee considerations walked through at move-in. The 700 East location places Lone Peak Hospital in Draper roughly five to seven minutes east for routine and emergency clinical care, with Riverton Hospital reachable in about ten minutes south for additional clinical options.

The Outlets at Traverse Mountain reach within ten minutes south, and the South Mountain Vista corridor offers visiting-family meals and shopping within the same drive. The combination of the 106-resident scale, the 23-apartment secured memory care wing with explicit elopement and combative-behavior programming, the Appian Management locally owned operator history, the Medicaid and pet-friendly framework, and the Draper location near Lone Peak Hospital makes Valencia at Draper a notable Salt Lake County option for families wanting a multi-care community with deeper memory care programming.
