A secured option in a small town
It's unusual for a town the size of Hyde Park to offer secured memory care, and Autumn Care does, running it alongside the community's assisted living just north of Logan. For Cache Valley families, that means a loved one with dementia can stay close to home rather than relocating to a bigger city, and Logan Regional Hospital sits a short drive away for anything that needs medical attention. In a rural valley, keeping a resident near family is worth a great deal, and Autumn Care makes that possible without a long move.
The starting figure of From $5,400/mo reflects the secured memory care side. It runs above the community's assisted living rate because dementia care here means a locked setting, specialized staff, and supervision that holds through the night.
What the rate carries
The monthly memory care rate at Autumn Care generally includes the living space, meals prepared with forgetful residents in mind, housekeeping, laundry, and a structured day of activities meant to ease the restlessness dementia can bring. Care that grows with the person sits on top: medication management, incontinence support, and the closer hands-on help that some days require. Because the community runs assisted living and memory care side by side, ask how a resident's bill changes if they move from one to the other, since that step is where the figure shifts most.
Paying for it in Cache Valley
Most families here start with private funds: income, savings, and often the sale of a longtime family home. Long-term care insurance can cover a meaningful share of the cost when a policy exists, so dig it out before assuming otherwise. Wartime-era veterans and their surviving spouses may add the VA's Aid and Attendance benefit. For residents who meet Utah's financial and medical criteria, a Medicaid waiver can cover the care portion of memory care, while room and board remain private and waiver availability can be tight.
Looking ahead
Dementia rarely stands still, so the key question is how far Autumn Care can support a resident as needs deepen, and what the next level adds to the monthly cost. Confirm any community fee or assessment at move-in. In a valley with limited secured options, an early conversation about availability can save a stressful scramble later.
