Taylorsville's senior-living lineup stands apart from neighboring south-valley cities thanks to Summit Vista, one of Utah's few full-spectrum continuing-care retirement communities. Summit Vista carries all four care levels (independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled care) inside a single campus. Three additional published buildings (Legacy Village Memory Care Taylorsville, Meadow Peak Assisted Living, and Ivybrook Assisted Living) fill in the city's other care-tier inventory, with Intermountain Medical Center five minutes east in Murray and Jordan Valley Medical Center on the west side serving as the closest acute-care anchors.
Growing alongside Salt Lake County's south-valley expansion, Taylorsville's senior population draws both long-time Wasatch Front residents and inbound households attracted by the city's combination of affordability and proximity to three major hospital networks. Around 7,000 of Taylorsville's 58,000 residents have crossed 65 by 2026, just under twelve percent of the city.
How Care Shows Up in Taylorsville
Taylorsville's four published buildings hold a rare full-continuum offering at Summit Vista (the only continuing-care retirement community in the city with skilled-care capacity inside the campus), a dedicated dementia-only setting at Legacy Village Memory Care Taylorsville, and assisted-living capacity across Meadow Peak and Ivybrook. Skilled-nursing transitions move either through Summit Vista's on-campus capability or through Intermountain Medical Center.
- Assisted Living: Three Taylorsville addresses carry assisted-living inventory: Meadow Peak Assisted Living (74 apartments under Mission Health Services), Ivybrook Assisted Living (112 apartments, independent management), and Summit Vista's assisted-living tier inside its full-continuum campus. The choice often comes down to whether the family wants the Summit Vista entry-fee model with a built-in skilled-nursing transition, the larger Ivybrook campus, or the mid-sized Meadow Peak with its dedicated dementia-aware services.
- Memory Care: Three buildings carry memory-care capacity. Legacy Village Memory Care Taylorsville under Western States Lodging and Management runs forty-two apartments dedicated entirely to dementia residents, with no underlying assisted-living tier inside the same building. Meadow Peak adds memory-care capacity alongside its assisted-living wing, and Summit Vista holds memory care inside its continuing-care retirement community campus.
- Independent Living: Summit Vista carries Taylorsville's lone published independent-living tier, structured as part of its continuing-care retirement community entry-fee model rather than a stand-alone monthly-only building. For families wanting traditional apartment-style independent living without a continuing-care commitment, the advisor often points toward Salt Lake City's three dedicated buildings (Parklane, St. Joseph Villa, The Peaks at Millcreek) inside a fifteen-minute drive.
- Skilled Nursing: Summit Vista's continuing-care retirement community structure includes skilled-care capacity inside the campus, an unusual configuration for Salt Lake County that lets a resident move from independent living to skilled care without changing buildings. Outside Summit Vista, skilled-nursing transitions go through Intermountain Medical Center's discharge process to a freestanding rehabilitation campus across the valley.
Three financial-and-care decisions separate the four Taylorsville buildings: whether the Summit Vista continuing-care entry-fee model fits the family's financial planning, whether dedicated dementia-only care at Legacy Village Memory Care Taylorsville matches the parent's needs, or whether a traditional monthly-only assisted-living building (Meadow Peak, Ivybrook) better suits the situation.
Healthcare Access in Taylorsville
Three major hospital networks reach Taylorsville senior-living residents inside a fifteen-minute drive. Five minutes east in Murray sits Intermountain Medical Center, the 504-bed Intermountain Health flagship that anchors the area's Level I adult trauma program plus the regional cardiac surgery operation. Jordan Valley Medical Center on the west side in West Jordan adds a MountainStar Healthcare acute-care option for households on the city's western neighborhoods.
The University of Utah's foothill medical campus sits about fifteen minutes northeast for academic-medicine referrals, including the Huntsman Cancer Institute, an adult Level I trauma center, and the state's only dedicated geriatric clinic. Embedded case management at all three networks coordinates post-hospital handoffs with senior-living staff in real time.
What Taylorsville's Pricing Looks Like
Taylorsville pricing varies sharply between Summit Vista's continuing-care retirement community entry-fee model and the monthly-only structures at the other three buildings, with the city's overall range tracking the broader Salt Lake County corridor. In 2026, assisted-living charges at Meadow Peak and Ivybrook typically run $4,400 to $5,800 a month. Legacy Village Memory Care Taylorsville's dementia-only setting prices at $5,300 to $7,200. Summit Vista's continuing-care retirement community structure typically requires a six-figure entry fee plus a monthly maintenance charge that varies by apartment size and care tier.
Move-in fees at the non-continuum buildings range from $1,500 to $4,500. The second-resident charge for couples sits between $750 and $1,200 each month, while daily respite lands at $170 to $240. The advisor walks families through the entry-fee structure at Summit Vista against the monthly-only options elsewhere during the first conversation.
Why Families Choose Taylorsville
Four anchors give Taylorsville its modern character and senior-living appeal: three hospital networks (Intermountain Medical Center, University Hospital, Jordan Valley Medical Center) within fifteen minutes; the I-215 belt route to nearly any Salt Lake corridor employer; the older Bennion and Taylorsville Bicentennial Park neighborhoods carrying longstanding multigenerational ties; and Summit Vista's continuing-care model offering a distinctive long-care-trajectory option.
Weekday outings stay close to home thanks to the Taylorsville Bicentennial Park's accessible loop, the Jordan River Parkway through the city's east side, the Wheeler Historic Farm in nearby Murray, and the West Valley Family Fitness Center walking pool. The Taylorsville Senior Center runs weekday programming around hot lunches, benefits counseling, and afternoon outings, while the city's longstanding social network usually catches a missed visit within a few days.
What a Local Advisor Brings to Taylorsville
Summit Vista's continuing-care entry-fee structure (often unfamiliar to households who haven't planned around the continuum-campus model before) typically takes up a meaningful piece of any Taylorsville advisor conversation. Legacy Village Memory Care Taylorsville's dedicated dementia setting, the monthly-only Meadow Peak and Ivybrook options, three hospital networks for discharges, and New Choices Waiver math against private-pay rates complete the picture.
