About Willow Canyon Living
Willow Canyon Living occupies a single-family home at 9853 South Glendover Way, sitting on quiet residential streets near the foot of the Wasatch in southeast Sandy. Cyndie Albert founded the home as Willow Canyon Living, LLC in 2021 and continues running it as the owner-operator. Residents experience the property as a private residence rather than a campus, with the small staff team building consistent relationships across daily care.
Three care tracks run under the roof: assisted living, independent living, and memory-care support for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's. Caregivers cover bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, and medication management, and the small resident count keeps each person known by name across the team. Apartment monthly pricing runs $2,451 to $6,047 per Olera and Senior Care listings. Final cost reflects the chosen room, the assessed care level, and the service plan signed at admission; specifics are covered by a senior advisor.
The senior day program is unusual for a small home. Older adults who don't need full-time placement can attend 2 to 5 days a week, giving family caregivers respite while keeping the senior engaged with the home's full-time residents, kitchen, and craft room. Meals come from the kitchen daily, prepared homemade and brought to a communal table family-style. The shared seating anchors the daily social rhythm across the small resident group.
Programming centers on the on-site craft room (sewing, quilting, and painting sit on the standing calendar), small group sessions for conversation and games, errands around the neighborhood, and field trips into greater Sandy. The format suits residents who want active engagement without the noise of a larger campus. The home sits on the Sandy side of the Wasatch with residential streets all around.
Alta View on Highland Drive is close at about 7 minutes; Lone Peak via I-15 is the secondary option around 10 minutes south. Quarry Bend handles family-meal stops nearby, while Fashion Place Mall plus the broader Sandy commercial blocks cover weekend trips a few minutes farther. The Bell Canyon trailhead is a short uphill drive for visiting family seeking outdoor time after a tour. An owner-operator at the helm, three care tracks under one roof, a senior day program for part-time attendance, homemade family-style meals, and a Wasatch-foothill Sandy address put Willow Canyon Living squarely in the running for Salt Lake County households exploring a small senior home over a campus-format community.

I cant even express how amazing Cyndie and Dawn are at Cyndies adult day care center; the love these ladies have for my husband is truly amazing! Bruce has Alzheimers and was there only 6 months before we had to put him in a Memory Care Community; I wish I had started taking him…
