Country Home Assisted Living sits on Medical Drive in Bountiful, a short walk from Lakeview Hospital, and it is the city's one small residential care home. It is a house with around ten residents, private and semi-private rooms, and a secured area for residents with memory loss, set on the same medical block as the hospital. For a Bountiful family, that single home is the local house-style option, 1 small care home in an established Davis County suburb where senior living has mostly meant larger communities.
Families usually come to a home like this when a resident wants a small, home-scale setting but the care needs are real, often memory loss or a level of daily help that rules out living alone, and they want a place that can still handle serious care at house scale. Country Home offers assisted living and secured memory care inside that kind of house, close to both family and the hospital.
More Care Than a Typical Small Home
What makes Country Home unusual for a house its size is how much care it can handle. Alongside standard assisted living, it runs a secured memory-care area for residents with dementia, keeps a nurse on staff, and is licensed for both lighter and heavier needs, so it can support a resident other small homes would have to turn away. Day to day, that means help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and medications, three meals, and an overnight watch, delivered to around ten residents by staff who know each one. Private and semi-private rooms, respite stays, and an adult day program round out what the home offers.
The small-home trade-offs are still honest ones: with about ten residents, Country Home cannot match the activity calendar, the amenities, or the larger social circle of a big Bountiful-area community, and it does not accept pets. What it offers instead is a home-scale setting with real clinical backup: a secured space for a resident who wanders, a nurse on hand, and the hospital next door. For a family who wants serious care without the scale of a large building, that combination is rare.
Paying for Care at a Bountiful Home
Country Home accepts Utah's Medicaid Waiver, the detail that changes the math for many Bountiful families. For a resident who qualifies, the waiver can cover the care portion of assisted living or memory care, so a family on a tight budget can reach a licensed local home rather than moving away to find coverage. Private-pay rates at the home start around $4,000 a month, below what 2026 cost-of-care data pegs as Utah's assisted-living average, about $5,500 a month, with the figure rising for memory care or heavier daily needs.
The listed rate is a base rather than the final number, covering the room, meals, and routine help and climbing with the level of care a resident needs and whether a room is private or shared. Medicaid rules and waiver waitlists are their own puzzle, and what the waiver covers, what private pay still has to absorb, and how a private or semi-private room shifts the figure all turn on a resident's eligibility and the room they choose.
An Established Suburb, One Small Home
Bountiful is one of Davis County's older, more established cities, and its senior share reflects that, with roughly one in seven residents past 65, above the fast-growing suburbs to the south. Demand for senior care here is steady and long-standing, yet most of it has been met by larger assisted-living and memory-care communities, leaving a single small home for the families who want the house-style setting. With only about ten beds at Country Home, and a secured memory-care space that is smaller still, the right opening can be scarce, so reaching out early beats waiting for one specific room to free up.
Why Bountiful Families Choose Country Home
Peace of mind is a big part of the draw here, because a family weighing a small home often worries that a house cannot handle a real medical event or a parent's decline, and Country Home answers that directly: a nurse on staff, a secured area if memory loss progresses, and Lakeview Hospital steps away. Pair that with the home-scale comforts, a handful of housemates, caregivers who know a resident's routine, and meals at a shared table, and it fits a family that wants closeness without giving up clinical backup. A small home still is not for everyone, though: a resident drawn to a lively social calendar, group fitness classes, frequent outings, and a wide circle of neighbors will feel more at home in a big Bountiful-area campus, and for that resident the bigger community is simply the better fit, not a step down from this one.
How an Advisor Helps in Bountiful
Because Country Home can take a resident with heavier needs than most small homes, the Bountiful question is really about matching: is a resident's care level, memory or otherwise, a fit for this house now, and will it stay a fit as things change? A local advisor who has visited can read that honestly, confirm whether the secured space or a regular room is the right setting, and check whether there is an opening.
The Medicaid Waiver maze, whether a resident qualifies and how coverage applies, is worth sorting before a family commits a day to touring Country Home's one scarce opening. Ask us, or look through the homes on our list across Davis County and the valley.
