West Point's published senior-living lineup runs through Family Tree of West Point, a 39-apartment Wasatch Senior Living building dedicated to assisted living with New Choices Waiver acceptance and pet-friendly policies. Hill Air Force Base sits at the city's southeastern edge as the dominant Davis County employer, with CommonSpirit Holy Cross Hospital - Davis ten minutes south in Layton and McKay-Dee Hospital fifteen minutes north in Ogden.
West Point's transition from agricultural farmland to suburban subdivisions has accelerated across the past two decades, with new master-planned neighborhoods replacing long-time onion and sugar-beet ground. The Hill Air Force Base military-retiree population, the Davis School District teaching ranks, and multigenerational Davis County families together shape the city's character. About 1,400 of West Point's 13,000 residents are 65 or older in 2026, near eleven percent of the city, and a meaningful share of that population is either retired Air Force or DoD civilian.
How Care Shows Up in West Point
Family Tree of West Point's 39 apartments hold the city's published assisted-living capacity. The Wasatch Senior Living building runs New Choices Waiver acceptance and pet-friendly policies, without an embedded memory-care neighborhood inside the same address.
- Assisted Living: Family Tree of West Point under Wasatch Senior Living's brand approach runs the city's only assisted-living capacity at 39 apartments. New Choices Waiver acceptance under Utah Medicaid covers the personal-care portion of monthly bills for waiver-eligible residents, and pet-friendly policies fit households unwilling to leave a long-time companion behind. The combined waiver-and-pet-friendly approach gives Davis County families an unusual fit at scale.
- Memory Care: West Point's published senior-living inventory does not include a dedicated memory-care neighborhood. Households navigating a recent dementia diagnosis typically step toward the broader Davis-Weber-corridor dementia inventory at Layton's Heritage Village and Petersen Farms in South Weber, Roy's Sunridge 15-apartment neighborhood, North Ogden's Spring Gardens, or Auberge at North Ogden's twenty-apartment building inside ten to fifteen minutes south or north.
- Independent Living: West Point doesn't carry a dedicated independent-living building in its published senior-living inventory. Households after apartment-style retirement typically step toward Layton's Wentworth at East Millcreek and The Ridge or the broader Ogden corridor's dedicated buildings inside ten to twenty minutes, or stay on long-time West Point property with home-health support.
- Skilled Nursing: Holy Cross Hospital - Davis, Layton Hospital, and McKay-Dee Hospital all handle short rehab stays for West Point residents from their respective campuses south and north. When the stay extends beyond rehab, the next step is usually a freestanding rehabilitation campus inside the Davis-Weber corridor. Standalone skilled-nursing rooms aren't part of Family Tree's published footprint.
The West Point conversation usually turns on New Choices Waiver fit at Family Tree given the building accepts waiver residents under Wasatch Senior Living's brand. Hill Air Force Base military-retiree benefit pathways often factor into the financial picture differently from typical Davis County families.
Healthcare Access in West Point
CommonSpirit Holy Cross Hospital - Davis sits about ten minutes south in Layton as a 220-bed acute-care campus on East 700 South. Services include a 24/7 emergency department, surgical services, cardiac care with cath lab, women's services, oncology, behavioral health, orthopedics, and ICU capacity. Most West Point senior-living residents reach the hospital inside a fifteen-minute drive.
Intermountain McKay-Dee Hospital sits about fifteen minutes north in Ogden as a 310-bed Level II trauma flagship for the northern Wasatch Front, holding the nationally ranked Heart and Vascular Institute, the Huntsman-Intermountain Cancer Center, the Stewart Rehabilitation Center, and the regional NICU. Intermountain Layton Hospital adds a 73-bed acute-care option a similar drive south. For higher-acuity referrals beyond McKay-Dee or Holy Cross's scope, families head about thirty minutes south to Intermountain Medical Center in Murray or up to the University of Utah's foothill academic medical center.
What West Point's Pricing Looks Like
The Davis County labor base and Wasatch Senior Living's residential format keep Family Tree's rates close to the corridor median. In 2026, Family Tree of West Point's assisted-living rate runs roughly $3,800 to $5,200 monthly. For residents qualifying under the waiver, the personal-care portion of monthly bills drops meaningfully.
Move-in fees range from $800 to $3,000. A couple's second-resident charge runs $700 to $1,000 monthly, with daily respite stays at $150 to $210. Hill Air Force Base-aligned families sometimes coordinate with TRICARE or VA Aid and Attendance benefits, which the advisor walks through during the first conversation. Households bringing a pet sometimes pay a small additional monthly pet-care fee.
Why Families Choose West Point
West Point pairs the Hill Air Force Base southeast-corner adjacency with an agricultural-to-suburban transition shaping the city's pattern, and long-running multigenerational Davis County family ties together give the city a distinctive Davis-Weber-corridor profile. The military-retiree population sustains a steady share of veteran families, the Davis School District teaching ranks shape the working-age community, and the small downtown core along West 300 North preserves a slower-paced suburban feel. Most older West Point residents either retired from Hill Air Force Base or kept long-time family ground through the past decade's growth wave.
Loy Blake Park, Cottonwood Park, and the West Point Cemetery walking grid give older residents accessible in-city walking options. The North Davis Senior Activity Center in nearby Clearfield holds the corridor's senior programming on weekdays under Davis County Senior Services. Daily errands route to Antelope Drive retail in Layton or to the Riverdale Road big-box corridor a few minutes north.
What a Local Advisor Brings to West Point
West Point placements typically start with New Choices Waiver fit at Family Tree given the building accepts waiver residents under Wasatch Senior Living. Hill Air Force Base military-retiree benefit pathways including TRICARE and VA Aid and Attendance often factor into the financial picture. Holy Cross Davis ten minutes south plus McKay-Dee fifteen minutes north shape hospital-driven moves, and the deeper Davis-Weber-corridor inventory enters when memory care, scale, or specific care-mix preferences shift the focus.
