Provo Senior AdvisorWhat is assisted living in Utah County?
Assisted living is a licensed residential setting that provides meals, housekeeping, help with daily activities such as bathing and dressing, medication help and 24-hour staff, licensed in Utah as Type I or Type II under R432-270.
As of Nov 6, 2026, DLBC's records show 44 assisted living licenses in Utah County, 35 of them Type II and 9 Type I, adding up to 2,395 licensed beds from Lehi and Saratoga Springs in the north to Payson and Santaquin in the south.
How much does assisted living cost?
Utah's 2025 median is $62,790 a year, about $5,233 a month, for a private one-bedroom; actual Utah County prices depend on the building and the resident's assessed care level.
Medicare does not pay assisted living rent. The New Choices Waiver can pay for services for eligible residents, who pay room and board themselves.
Who is a good fit for assisted living?
Assisted living fits someone who needs daily help or supervision but not continual nursing, and who can get out of the building alone (Type I) or with one person's limited help (Type II).
See Type I vs. Type II for the details.
