How Clearfield prices assisted living
Clearfield's assisted living centers on one address: Chancellor Gardens of Clearfield. At 152 beds it is a large, full-service community rather than a cluster of small care homes, so the monthly figure you see reflects the staffing, dining, and activity calendar that a building of that scale can run.
Because it is the only assisted living community inside Clearfield, its published rate of $5,050 a month effectively is the going rate here. Families comparing options usually weigh staying in town against looking at smaller homes elsewhere in Davis County.
What assisted living rates include in Clearfield
The monthly bill in 2026 splits into two parts. First is the apartment itself: a studio costs less than a one-bedroom, and a shared arrangement costs less than a private one. Second is the care tier, an assessment-based amount that climbs as a resident needs more help with bathing, dressing, mobility, or medications.
That base rate already folds in meals, housekeeping, laundry, scheduled transportation, and around-the-clock staff presence. A resident who arrives fairly independent pays toward the lower end; one who needs hands-on help several times a day pays more, since staff hours rise with need.
How Clearfield families pay for assisted living
Chancellor Gardens accepts Medicaid, which is uncommon for a 150-bed community and matters for qualifying Davis County families. For residents who meet Utah's medical and financial rules, a Medicaid waiver can offset the care portion of the bill.
What the waiver does not cover is room and board, so a resident still pays for the apartment side out of personal income or savings. The split surprises people, and an advisor can map exactly which costs the waiver touches before anyone applies.
What a year of assisted living costs in Clearfield
The published assisted living rate in Clearfield is $5,050 a month, roughly $60,600 over a year before any assessed care is added. Households tend to compare monthly figures and then find the annual total is the number that decides things, so it is worth doing that arithmetic early. Because only one rate is published locally, the honest comparison set extends beyond Clearfield into the rest of Davis County and the towns just past it, where the same level of care is frequently priced differently for reasons that have nothing to do with quality.
What Clearfield assisted living includes, and what bills on top
A Clearfield base rate generally bundles the apartment, meals, weekly housekeeping, laundry, transport and a starting tier of daily help, with assessed care priced above it. Families frequently underestimate the tiers, because the entry figure is what gets quoted on a tour while the care level is what determines the eventual bill. Ask for the written schedule, ask where a resident with your parent's current needs would be scored, and ask where they would likely be scored in a year. Ask as well whether memory care exists on the same site, since keeping a cognitive change inside one building avoids a second move that costs more than it appears to.
