Provo Senior AdvisorWhat kinds of senior care does Utah license?
DLBC licenses assisted living (Type I and Type II, with secure memory care units only in Type II), nursing care facilities, home health agencies, hospices, personal care agencies for non-medical home care, adult day care and small health care facilities.
Each page below explains the license, Utah's cost figure, and where providers are in Utah County.
How do we match a parent to the right type of care?
Match the need to the license: a personal care agency for set hours at home, Type I assisted living for someone who can evacuate alone, Type II for someone who needs one person's help, a secure unit for dementia with wandering, and a nursing care facility for round-the-clock skilled nursing.
The comparison guides work through each choice.
What is not licensed as care in Utah?
Independent living apartments that provide no personal care, senior centers, and caregivers hired privately by a family are not licensed as care settings by DLBC, so no state inspection record exists for them.
That does not rule them out, but it changes how you check them: references and background checks for a private caregiver, and the licensed agency behind any care offered in an independent living building.
How many licensed senior care providers does Utah County have?
