My grandmother is in memory care at Jordan River. The facility is brand new and very nice. Jordan River staff are very attentive and go above and beyond to get to know the residents so that they can meet each individual’s unique needs. The administrators are very visible and speak to the residents by name. Our family has been very impressed by the care my grandmother has received here.

Welcoming. Reassuring. Comforting.
After researching multiple continuing care retirement communities, Harvey and Sandy Kennedy chose to move to a townhome at The Farms at Bailey Station in July 2021. But not long after the Kennedys moved into their townhome, Sandy required memory support services and was transitioned into the Ruth’s Way neighborhood. “My hat’s off to The Farms and Jordan River staff for guiding Sandy and I through this transition. Jordan River is very nice and really well thought out. Sandy has remained a resident of Ruth’s Way since it opened, and she is safe, secure, and well taken care of.”
Features of Ruth’s Way Memory Support
Here are just a few of the key features of Ruth’s Way that have been carefully designed specifically for our memory care residents.
Personalized Care Plans
Our trained staff develops a personalized care plan for every resident, designed to encourage independence, personal growth, and interaction with other residents.
Visibility
10′ wide corridors, a centrally-located caregiver station, and an open floor plan encourage resident movement and exploration, preserve personal space, and make it easier for our staff to see and hear the full environment.
Accessibility Enhancements
Wall outlets are placed higher than usual to make them easier for all residents to access. Flooring and carpet are comfortable but easy to use even with assistive devices (walkers, canes, etc.). Even the signage is custom, with a larger and easier-to-read font.
Stimulative Environment
From our pictures along the walls that provide stimulation, prompt long-term memory, and inspire conversation, to the placement of interactive items throughout the residence, every area of Ruth’s Way is thoughtfully designed to keep residents entertained and active both physically and mentally.
Restaurant-style Dining
Food is important at any age, both for our physical and social health. Our chef-designed meals and healthy snacks include a variety of local favorites and feature fresh ingredients throughout. Of course, special dietary needs are always addressed.
Open Design with Discrete Activity Areas
While the open design promotes physical movement and helps eliminate barriers that can be frustrating, it’s still important to have delineated areas that encourage small-group discussion, game-playing, etc. These gathering spaces allow for more comfortable interaction while remaining open to caregivers and staff.
Seating, Tables, Handrails and More
Community seating has been tested for seat depth, armrest design and height, and ease of use on approach and exit. Handrails in residence care areas were designed by an occupational therapy team and feature a universal grip for adaptive needs such as Osteoarthritis. We have thought through even the smallest of details to ensure every aspect of Ruth’s Way is optimized for the physical and mental needs of our residents.
Ruth’s Way Courtyard
The residence offers a beautiful, secure outdoor space with a resident garden, all easily accessible from the main activity area.
Spa and Hair Salon
We all want to be pampered. Our Rane tub, which raises to a semi-sitting position to make it easier for entrance/exit, allows all of our residents to enjoy a nice warm bath. And to complete the experience, the on-site hair salon is right nearby in the East corridor.
