Helping Cache Valley Families Find the Right Senior Care
Independant Care
Independent living in Cache Valley is designed for active seniors who want to
shed the burdens of home maintenance and cooking in favor of a social, resort-style environment.
Unlike assisted living or skilled nursing,
independent living focuses on lifestyle and convenience
rather than medical supervision.
What's Included?
In Cache Valley, independent living is typically "all-inclusive." Your single monthly check usually covers:
Dining: 2 to 3 chef-prepared meals daily in a restaurant-style dining room.
Housekeeping: Weekly cleaning and linen services (no more vacuuming or scrubbing tubs).
Transportation: Scheduled shuttle service for grocery trips to Macey's or Smith's
and medical appointments at Logan Regional.
Utilities: Heat, water, electricity, and basic cable are almost always included.
Security: 24-hour on-site staff for emergency response (though they do not provide medical care).
The 2026 Cost Breakdown
Cache Valley independent living remains a strong value compared to
the Wasatch Front (Salt Lake/Utah County).
Studio Apartments: ~$2,200 – $2,800/month
1-Bedroom Apartments: ~$2,800 – $3,500/month
2-Bedroom Apartments: ~$3,500 – $4,200/month

which is lower than the Utah state average of ~$3,730.
Financial Assistance: The "Independent Living" Gap
It is important to note that Medicare and Medicaid do not pay for independent living
because it is considered a residential choice, not a medical necessity.
However, there are two local workarounds:
VA Aid & Attendance: Veterans or surviving spouses may qualify
for a monthly pension (up to $2,500+) to help cover costs if they meet certain criteria.
Options for Independence: Located on North Main in Logan,
this center provides resources and assistive technology to help seniors
stay independent in their own homes or apartments longer.
