Senior Care Market Takes Giant Step in South Utah County

The first major Senior Care Facility in Spanish Fork opens doors.

Spanish Fork, UT -- August 16, 2013 -- Senior care availability nearly doubled in Spanish Fork in the month of July. Why? The neighborhood around Larsen Elementary School is welcoming a new 96-unit assisted living community. The owners and managers of Legacy House of Spanish Fork hope to fill in some of the void in health care options that exist in the surrounding area.



“There is not another facility in South Utah County like it,” said Steve Broadbent, project manager for the Sandy based Rockworth Companies, LLC. “We are providing a home-like atmosphere, fun social activities, and the highest quality care.”The community, located just southeast of the intersection of U.S. High way 6 and Center Street, features a hair salon, movie theater, library, grand piano, and dining room on the inside, and a courtyard with a deck and patio on the outside. Additionally, shuttles are available for residents to travel up Spanish Fork Canyon, to the grocery store, to the LDS Temple, and various other locations.

“The community is embedded within a neighborhood made up of single-family homes,” Broadbent said. “We believe this will only enhance the residential climate we are trying to create for the residents. We just want them to be comfortable and live life as they always have.”

Rockworth hired the Richardson Design Partnership and Rimrock Construction to design and build the community. Western States Lodging and Management (WSLM) of Salt Lake City will be the manager. Legacy House of Spanish Fork will be the first WSLM managed community in Utah County.



“We are pleased to be opening our first community in Utah County,” said Cory Hafen, director of senior operations for WSLM. “We are excited to partner with neighboring businesses, excited about the number of jobs this brings to the area, and excited to bring the Legacy brand and services to the south end of the valley.”

Rockworth and WSLM believe the Spanish Fork community should feel comfortable leaving loved ones in the care of Legacy House professionals.

“We feel we’ve assembled a team that will meet and exceed the expectations of the surrounding community,” Broadbent said.

“The neighbors and city officials have been very helpful and welcoming. We want to give them our best in return.”

Legacy House of Spanish Fork is located at
1449 East 150 South in Spanish Fork.
