Non-medical care in your West Jordan home — help with the half-flights, the meals, and the hours you're on your own.
When you moved to West Jordan, it may have held four thousand people; today it is the third-largest city in Utah. You watched the fields along Redwood Road and out toward Welby turn into neighborhoods, and you stayed. More than eight thousand households here now include someone 65 or older, and over sixteen hundred of you live alone.
SeniorCare 801 provides non-medical help inside your own West Jordan home — meals, bathing, laundry, medication reminders, errands, and real company — on hours shaped to your week instead of a package. Living alone should not mean managing alone. Call 801-515-5453 and tell us what your days actually need.
About a third of West Jordan's houses date to the 1970s and 1980s, and around here that usually means a split-entry or a rambler — a half-flight up to the kitchen, a half-flight down to the bedrooms and the washer. If yours is one, you already treat that landing with respect, and so do we. More than a quarter of homes in this city have five or more bedrooms, most counting finished basement rooms, so the room you sleep in may sit a full floor below your front door. And West Jordan has 839 mobile homes, far more than the neighboring cities combined; narrow doorways and steep entry steps just mean we plan the routine around them.
Four TRAX Red Line stations sit inside the city: West Jordan City Center on Redwood Road, Jordan Valley at 3400 West 8600 South, 2700 West Sugar Factory Road, and 5600 West Old Bingham Highway. Jordan Valley station is the one closest to the hospital, useful when family visits without a car. Route 217 runs Redwood Road north into Salt Lake City. If platforms are past practical, UTA Paratransit offers curb-to-curb rides after an in-person eligibility interview — schedule at 801-287-7433 and plan to be ready during a 30-minute pickup window. Your caregiver drives for everything the bus and the train don't reach.
The West Jordan Senior Center at 8025 South 2200 West, 385-468-3401, opens weekdays 7:00 to 4:00, with lunch from 11:30 to 12:15 — register by phone. The class list runs genuinely deep: Arthritis Foundation Exercise, Tai Chi, Gentle Yoga, Drums Alive, plus ceramics, lapidary, wood carving, and Swedish weaving if your hands still like a project. Next door, the Gene Fullmer Recreation Center has an indoor track for walking in any weather. None of it operates at 6:00 a.m. or on Sundays, and none of it drives you there — those are the pieces a caregiver adds.
Most stays around here run through Holy Cross Hospital - Jordan Valley at 3580 West 9000 South — you may still call it Jordan Valley Medical Center, and so do your neighbors — with its 24-hour emergency department and acute rehab unit. Directly across 9000 South, Copper Ridge Health Care handles many skilled nursing stays. The fragile stretch is the two weeks after the final ride home: unfamiliar prescriptions, a walker you have not practiced with, nights alone. We can cover days, nights, or both until you are past it.
Hours in West Jordan track the stairs more than anything else. Sleeping downstairs and bathing on the main floor means someone should be present at more points in the day; a single-level mobile home needs fewer hours but more care in tight spaces. When family shares your roof — common here — scheduled care narrows to the blocks they cannot cover. And one question we ask every West Jordan household: did you or your late spouse serve in the military during wartime? VA Aid and Attendance can raise a VA pension for veterans and surviving spouses who need help with bathing, dressing, or medications, and it can pay toward non-medical care at home. Gather discharge papers, marriage certificate, and a physician statement early — it moves slowly. County benefits counseling: 385-468-3200. Us: 801-515-5453.

Learn more →Yes — a tight bathroom is a planning problem, not a dealbreaker, and West Jordan has more mobile homes than any city around it. We set up a routine that fits the space: a shower chair sized to the stall, towels and clothes staged outside the door, and a caregiver positioned where the steadying hand is needed. You are never rushed.
Gladly. The recreation center sits right next to the senior center on 2200 West, so a caregiver can drive you over, walk laps beside you at your pace, and finish with lunch at the center at 11:30 if you register ahead. Walking with company is safer and, frankly, far more likely to keep happening all winter.
Your caregiver becomes the person who notices — the same person each visit, who knows how you looked Tuesday and can see that Thursday is different. With your permission we send your children brief updates, so they get facts instead of worry. Many clients add a morning phone check on non-visit days. You choose how close the watch is.
