Assisted Living Costs in Clearfield, UT

Published pricing starts around $5,050 a month at Chancellor Gardens of Clearfield, the city's large assisted living community. Your actual total depends on two things: the apartment you choose (studio, shared, or private one-bedroom) and the care tier set after a needs assessment. A resident who needs only light daily help pays toward the lower end, while heavier hands-on care raises the monthly figure.

The base monthly rate at a community like Chancellor Gardens covers the apartment, three meals a day, housekeeping and laundry, scheduled transportation, building maintenance, activities, and staff on site around the clock. Personal care help with bathing, dressing, mobility, and medications is layered on through a care tier that reflects how much assistance a resident needs each day.

It can. Chancellor Gardens of Clearfield accepts Medicaid, which is unusual for a community of its size. When a resident clears Utah's health and income thresholds, a Medicaid waiver can pick up the care portion of the bill. The apartment rent and meals stay a private responsibility, since the waiver reaches the care side only. Eligibility hinges on specific income and asset limits, and our advisor can walk you through whether a resident is likely to clear them.

Even within a single community like Chancellor Gardens, two residents can pay very different amounts. The apartment type is the first driver: a shared or studio space costs less than a private one-bedroom. The second is the care tier, which is set after staff assess daily needs. Someone fairly independent pays near the starting rate, while someone needing frequent help pays more because the building dedicates more staff hours to their care.

Think of $5,050 as the floor, not the typical bill. It assumes the simplest apartment and the lightest level of help. Once a needs assessment assigns a care tier and once you settle on the apartment that actually fits, most families sit somewhat higher. The dependable way to budget is to ask for a quote built around the specific apartment and the resident's real care level, not the headline starting number.

Funding usually starts with personal money: a pension check, savings, or what a house brings when it sells. If a long-term care policy exists, it may pay back a share of the monthly cost. Given how many families around Hill Air Force Base have a military background, the VA Aid and Attendance benefit is worth exploring, since it can boost a veteran's or widow's monthly income. Chancellor Gardens accepting Medicaid adds one more lever for the care portion. Our advisor can help stack these together.

If the Clearfield rate stretches the budget, smaller residential care homes elsewhere in Davis County sometimes price differently, and the Medicaid waiver can ease the care portion for those who qualify. The right move depends on care needs, finances, and how close family wants to stay. Our advisor can compare options across the county and flag which ones fit a specific budget without any cost to you.

Both are offered at Chancellor Gardens. Assisted living suits a resident who needs daily help but is safe with general supervision. Memory care costs more because it adds a secured neighborhood and extra staff trained for dementia, reflecting the additional support involved rather than any penalty. If memory loss is part of the picture, an advisor can explain which setting matches the resident's stage and what each would cost.
