On Main Street in Kaysville, The Villas at Baer Creek is the city's one small residential care home, and it covers a wider span of needs than most houses its size. Sixteen residents live in studio or one-bedroom units rather than shared rooms, with assisted living, memory care, and more medical oversight than a typical board-and-care home all under one roof. Kaysville has just 1 home like it, so a family set on the house-style option here is really deciding about this one place, in a young Davis County town where senior living usually means a large building or a drive to one.
Most families look here after deciding a resident wants a small, familiar setting more than the fuller amenities of a big community, while the care need is real. They want a place that can still handle serious care close to home. The Villas offers exactly that combination, with assisted living, memory care, and extra medical support in one small house.
A Small Home With Real Medical Oversight
Day to day, life at The Villas runs like any small home: sixteen residents in their own studio or one-bedroom units, home-cooked meals, help with bathing, dressing, mobility, and medications, and an awake staff overnight. What sets it apart is the medical layer underneath: a nurse is on call at all times, the night shift stays awake, and the staff handle needs many small homes refer out, including wound care, oxygen, and specialized diets, alongside memory care for residents with dementia.
The usual small-home trade-offs still hold: sixteen residents cannot match the activity calendar, the amenities, or the social scale of a large Kaysville-area community, and a nurse on call is not the same as a full-time physician on site. What The Villas offers instead is private apartment-style space, a low caregiver ratio, and more clinical capability than the format usually carries, with pets welcome on top of it. For a resident who wants privacy and real care without the size of a campus, that mix is hard to find elsewhere in the city.
What The Villas at Baer Creek Costs
Assisted living at The Villas starts around $4,800 a month, with memory care running closer to $5,400, because the home serves everything from light assisted living to memory care and heavier medical needs. The starting figure sits below the statewide assisted-living norm, which 2026 cost surveys put around $5,500 a month; the higher figure reflects a private one-bedroom with memory care and intensive daily help. Where a resident lands comes down to the room they choose and the amount of daily care they need.
The Villas also accepts Medicaid for residents who qualify, which helps keep the home reachable for families on a fixed income. The figure for a given resident turns on three things together: the room they choose at The Villas, the amount of daily help they need, and whether Medicaid covers part of the care.
One Home in a Young Family Town
Kaysville is a young Davis County family town, with a median age around 32 and only about one in ten residents past 65, so the local pool of seniors is still small. That keeps the number of senior-living options modest, and the house-style setting comes down to a single home rather than a choice of several. With sixteen beds at The Villas, and memory-care space narrower still, the right opening is not always there when a family needs it. Many Kaysville families have historically driven out of town for senior living, which makes a small home right on Main Street a real convenience when one opens up. Reaching out early, and keeping a nearby backup in mind, is the realistic way to plan around one home.
Why Kaysville Families Choose The Villas
For many families here the deciding factor is simple: The Villas lets them keep a parent in Kaysville, near children and grandchildren, in a small home rather than a large campus. Add private apartment-style rooms, a low caregiver ratio, the option to bring a pet, and care that can step up as a resident's needs change, and the home answers a lot at once. Few homes anywhere pair a private one-bedroom, memory care, and a Medicaid option in one small house, which is what keeps The Villas on so many Kaysville families' short lists. It is not the universal answer, though: a resident who wants a full calendar of activities, group fitness, regular outings, and a wide social circle will be happier on a larger Kaysville-area campus, and for that person the bigger campus is the better match, plain and simple.
How an Advisor Helps in Kaysville
Because The Villas serves such a wide range, from light assisted living to memory care and heavier medical needs, the Kaysville question is really where a particular resident fits on that range and what it will cost there. A local advisor who has visited can translate the broad price band into a real number for a specific person, confirm whether the home is the right level of care now and as needs change, and check whether a studio or one-bedroom is open.
