The facility is well-cared for and the grounds are clean. The staff...the front desk staff and the first floor staff are very friendly but the fourth floor - the skilled nursing floor - they don't even talk to you. My mom's on the first floor, the memory care unit, so they're pretty good. The Emeritus is more expensive than some of the other facilities we looked at. They have one doctor and one nurse so I don't think they're overly well-staffed in that area.

The Emeritus at Salt Lake stood out because It's very well-kept, the decoration is up to date, the food is really good and my grandparents really like it. The staff is really friendly. It's super-expensive, maybe more money than we're getting service for, but that's all right. They have an RN available any day of the week for care needs. There's a lot of activities but my grandparents haven't taken part just yet. They're still getting moved in.

I entered her room and it smelled horrible because a dirty Depends with diarrhea was just left in the bathroom waste basket by a CNA. I have called numerous times to check up on my Mother with no return phone calls. Once I noticed that my Mother had a UTI and called to report it to the floor nurse and I ... read more

Rehab therapy staff were excellent (PT, OT and Rec Therapy)! Nursing, not so much. Some were exceptional, but had problems with pain management controlled by day shift nursing staff. Prescribed pain meds were withheld despite need. I received only tylenol for post op pain during the day despite working very hard in therapy, which resulted in severe pain at night. I cried at least three times in severe pain which affected my sleep, and was told I should have requested my prn meds (though I was unaware of which meds were prn)... read more
