It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Torre Civica - Ghirlandina gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Modena, UT is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“I have used the services of Always Best Care since Sept. 2021. I have been very pleased with the attentive care they have given my husband. They have been flexible, accommodating, and gone the extra mile helping with my husband's needs. As an example, I was away for the day and I was called by the caregiver that my husband was not doing well. I came home and we decided to take him to the emergency room. The caregiver came with us and stayed at the hospital for hours. He was released with the medication he needed for his recovery and she helped bring him home and get him settled before she left. This was way into the night and passed her normal working hours. One of my requests before hiring on a Senior Service was that the caregivers enjoyed their job and enjoyed working with challenging patients. I use their service six days a week and every caregiver has been kind, compassionate, and hard working. I really have been pleased.”

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Park Sandro Pertini with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Osteria Francescana or visit Palazzo Ducale di Modena, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Modena, UT, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Modena, UT understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Modena, UT 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

When you name a restaurant after yourself, you know there’s a big personality and presence behind the endeavor. There’s no better example than the late Valter Nassi, namesake of Valter’s Osteria, who charmed guests for years in three different restaurants around downtown Salt Lake.
With Valter’s recent passing, the baton seems to have transferred to Matteo Sogne, owner and sommelier at Matteo Ristorante Italiano, who in just two short months, this cultured gentiluomo has taken over the helm of Salt Lake’s reigning handsome Italian restauranteur.
Sogne is clearly adept at the service and atmosphere necessary for a restaurant of Matteo’s [matteoslc.com] caliber. The initial offerings are no doubt impressive and for its top-notch cost (can we say caviar service!), it will be exciting to see some final touches finessed to make it a tried-and-true destination as time goes on.
Those who love Italian food and the country itself know full well how vast and regional the cuisine of the country is—so much so that many of the dishes are named for the regions. Ragù alla Bolognese from Bologna. Pizza Napoletana from Naples. Florentine bean soup from Florence. From top to bottom, Italy is overstuffed with gastronomic delights that reflect the products that grow in the terroir of each region. From tomato-based dishes in the south, pasta carbonara in Rome, white truffles in Alba, creamy risotto in the north. I could go on. Not to mention the wine!
Sogne and his family, including his mother and father who are often in the kitchen of the restaurant, hail from Modena and Matteo pays homage to a variety of dishes from their homeland as the menu explains: “Our Italian restaurant…is a celebration of family, tradition, and the joy of sharing exceptional food with loved ones.”
The Modena region is known for Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and balsamic vinegar among other things and the “menu is inspired by the recipes and techniques passed down through generations of Matteo’s family.” Take the risotto Modena for example that features both the cheese and vinegar—which you’ll find lovingly shared across the menu.
“Every dish is an ode to the rustic, comforting, and soul-warming cuisine of Italy.” The menu is arranged in traditional Italian fashion with antipasti (starters/appetizers), soups and salads which lead to the primi pasta course and secondi protein selections followed by dessert. We chose to eat in this manner family-style to get a true taste of what Matteo offers.
Rustic and hearty antipasti like polpette delighted our palate as the Italian sausage meatballs swam in tangy pomodoro generously dusted with Parmigiano Reggiano. Both the lasagna al ragu and the tagliatelle bolognese featured nonna’s bolognese, perfect for a chilly fall evening.
We honed in on the vitello entrée as veal isn’t a protein you see very often because it’s so easy to turn the delicate meat into a chewy disaster. Here, the luscious cut was thicker than I’m used to and elevated with a subtle mushroom and white wine sauce.
An artfully presented pistachio semifreddo served on a hand-thrown pottery dish was strikingly similar to Osteria Amore’s but lacked the delightfully subtle pistachio flavor you’d expect.
Let’s melt into the world of cheese geekdom for a moment and talk about the wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano that Sogne introduces guests to in the restaurant. The term “introduces” isn’t used haphazardly as this cheese and how it’s served has a familial story.
But first, a true Parmigiano Reggiano must be made of raw cow’s milk produced in one of these Italian provinces: Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena or certain parts of Mantua or Bologna. There are only three ingredients and those include milk, salt and rennet. At minimum, Parmigiano Regiano must be aged for a minimum of 12 months to gain the signature blond color and granular texture you’ll savor. Matteo’s wheel is aged for 40 months.
As the wheel rests on your table, take note of some of the other signature information on the hallmark dotted rind. The words Parmigiano Reggiano must be visible across the wheel. You’ll also see the month and year of production and the Parmigiano Reggiano PDO identity card signifying the registration number of the cheese house where it was made. All those unique items branded into the mold are proof of authenticity of the Parmigiano Reggiano wheel.
And that literally means that nowhere else will you find wheel 168 but at Matteo.
Then Sogne goes one step further. He serves a chard of Parmegiano Reggiano with a drizzle of aceto balsamico del nonno Matteo’s grandfather’s aged balsamic vinegar on a tiny spoon. It’s a thoughtful touch that seemingly brings you closer to Matteo’s family and home.
With a sommelier as the owner and namesake, it’s no surprise that the wine list is impressive and extensive. Not only are there several dozen selections by the glass but several pages of almost exclusively Italian bottles secured through special order.
We enjoyed a bottle of 2021 Ca’ Marcanda Promis, a blend of Merlot, Sangiovese and Syrah from the Tuscany region of Bolgheri which Sogne suggested after we outlined our planned menu for dinner. As our meal progressed, he spent time talking about the Reidel stemware he’s selected for each wine on the wine list. He also allowed us to taste the wine side-by-side in different glasses to fully smell and taste the subtle and not-so-subtle differences that develop in each glass. With some of the glasses running $60 each, it’s a hefty investment to make but one that adds another layer of thoughtful detail to a special evening.
Understanding that wines available will change frequently, it was still a head scratcher to see that the wine list is printed on cheap paper and stapled together. It seems prudent to present such an impressive list in a nice Italian leather binder or something more fitting to the high-end bottles. Update: after a four-month delay, their beautifully debossed leather wine lists are in-house. Cheers!
Matteo and some of his service team spent time at Osteria Amore and if you have been a guest at the former you might recognize some similarities. That’s a compliment, as Osteria is one of the best Italian restaurants in the city—nicely balancing excellent food and service with an approachable, comfortable experience.
There’s a polished yet relaxed feel at Matteo even in its infancy. In fact, we chuckled that the pace of our meal truly reflected that of Italy as we leisurely enjoyed our wine and conversation between courses. Tables around us came and went during our time there so let your server know if you’re not on a sip and savor schedule.
With just a few tweaks to the restaurant—first the aforementioned wine list presentation (finally arrived, and they’re an elegant touch!), and next some acoustical treatments to dampen the noise from a full-house—one can foresee both visitors and locals regularly raising a glass to the continued success of Matteo.

A multi-day severe storm outbreak will dominate the weather headlines from the Lower Great Lakes to the southern Plains, Mid-Atlantic, and Gulf Coast through the homestretch of the workweek. Large, damaging hail, high winds, and strong tornadoes could be a repetitive occurrence each day.
A warm, very humid air mass and eastern part of a robust upper-level disturbance will combine to trigger plenty of downpours and strong to severe thunderstorms from the Lower Great Lakes into the Ohio and Tennessee valleys this afternoon and evening.
Tornado Watches are in effect from southern Illinois to Ohio and western and northern Kentucky, including Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and Findlay, Ohio, Terre Haute, Ind., and Louisville, Bowling Green and Paducah, Ky.
The government’s Storm Prediction Center has maintained an Enhanced Risk for a corridor of potentially organized severe weather across much of the Ohio Valley. Cities in this severe weather danger zone include Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, Ind., Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio, and Louisville, Ky. Very large, damaging hail, gusty winds up to 70 mph, and a few strong tornadoes could accompany the more intense thunderstorm activity today.
Surrounding this elevated zone is quite a large area from Detroit to Chicago at the northern fringe, to near Cape Girardeau, Mo., to Charleston, W. Va., which will need to keep a watchful eye to the sky for powerful thunderstorms as well. Just like their Ohio Valley neighbors, all severe weather risks will be in play during this afternoon and evening.
Part of the same storm will regroup for midweek, paving the way for new low pressure to develop across the Middle Mississippi Valley by afternoon and evening. This time, a warm, very humid air mass south of the storm’s warm front and east of the storm’s cold front will interact with a series of weak disturbances at high altitudes in the atmosphere. This will likely lead to another severe storm outbreak from the southern Ohio to Tennessee and Lower Mississippi valleys.
A large Enhanced Risk exists from southeastern Oklahoma and southern and south-central Missouri to far southwestern West Virginia, western Virginia, and far western North Carolina. Fort Smith to Little Rock, Ark., Memphis to Nashville and Knoxville, Tenn., Louisville and Lexington-Fayette, Ky., and St. Louis, are all found in this heightened severe danger zone on Wednesday. Individual, lines or clusters of thunderstorms will motor across these locations throughout the afternoon and evening.
By predawn on Thursday, a lengthy line of robust thunderstorms could stretch from the western Carolina Piedmont to northern Louisiana and far northeastern Texas. This means the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham, N.C., could be peppered by damaging wind gusts, large hail, and even a few tornadoes. Just north of the Interstate 70 corridor from Missouri to far western Ohio will also need to have a way to receive severe weather alerts.
The storm system will accelerate across the Mid-Atlantic throughout Thursday. This will drive the attached cold front east of the Appalachian Spine, as well as across the Deep South and Gulf Coast. Baltimore and Washington, D.C., to Raleigh-Durham, N.C., Columbia, S.C., Atlanta, Dothan and Mobile, Ala., Alexandria and Shreveport, La., Lufkin, Waco, and Austin, Texas, are some bigger cities that might have to deal with big thunderstorms. Large hail and damaging wind gusts are the primary risks, but a tornado or two will be possible as well.
Thunderstorms will be repetitive for many these next few days, which means the flooding risk will certainly increase. One-half inch to locally 2 to 3 inches will soak the Ohio and Tennessee valleys to the Southeast and Deep South. If you approach a flooded roadway, it is best to follow simple advise: “Turn, Around, Don’t Drown!”
The best way to remain safe is to stay prepared and informed about your local weather. Have a severe weather kit packed with a battery-operated radio, water and non-perishable food items should you be without power for long periods of time. Also, check the WeatherBug app frequently for any updates on today’s severe weather. Remember, “When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!”

What are some other road trips in Utah I can take?
There is no better state than the Beehive State when it comes to road trips. Throughout the state, there are incredible attractions, restaurants, and scenery that are just waiting to be discovered. Here at Only In Your State, we love creating road trips and we have designed dozens of itineraries throughout the years. Some of our favorite road trips in Utah include:

TownLift focuses on news affecting local people’s daily lives, from traffic and emergencies to schools, government, tourism, entertainment, and all things outdoors.

PARK CITY, Utah. — Just launched, TownLift is a free digital-only news website that provides access to local events in real time. TownLift focuses on news affecting local people’s daily lives, from traffic and emergencies to schools, government, tourism, entertainment, and all things outdoors. Advertisers and users will find the site immersive, nimble, and a powerful way to tell stories and connect people and places, said its founders.
“There’s really something rewarding and empowering to knowing what’s going on in your community,” said owner and Chief Technology Officer Brian Modena, 38. “Each community has its own unique story that deserves to be shared, and that’s the point of this platform.”
TownLift has been in the works for many months as Modena and co-owner/Chief Operating Officer Brian Gulotta, 40, work to build on their past successes in digital news. They previously owned Buckrail in Jackson, WY, vastly expanding its local journalism, revenues, and user views before selling it last year.
The two are excited to replicate those achievements in Park City, utilizing software Modena designed and amplifying local journalists’ work to focus on all things Park City.
“Park City is where I started my career. It’s always been a home base,” said Gulotta. “I was hired (at Backcountry.com) over a ping pong table in Heber City. This town embodies work-life balance, and we want to enhance that.”
The name TownLift should surprise no one – Park City’s town lift is central, iconic, and inextricably linked to the community. Its function as a central meeting place matches Gulotta’s and Modena’s goal of becoming a place where people come together.
TownLift.com will remain free for users – ‘the Brians’ oppose paywalls, believing access to information shouldn’t depend on the ability to pay. “The more informed and engaged in the community is, the healthier it is,” Modena said.
Mountain towns are their own brand of magic, to be treasured and celebrated every day. It’s why you’re here – or why you visit. Drop a line to info@townlift.com and weigh in: What do you want to see, what do you need, how can TownLift improve your life?

What are the most haunted places in Utah?
Many places in Utah are said to be haunted by a paranormal presence. The Rio Grande Depot is just one of the places in Salt Lake City where strange happenings occur. At the This Is The Place Monument, the pink farmhouse is haunted by several spirits. Ann Eliza Webb was particularly unhappy with the Church and Young's teachings. Another spirit, Lucy Ann Decker, is said to be a bit more kind. There are haunted hotels in Utah, too - the Silver Fork Lodge at Brighton is one of the most haunted places in the state.
Can I visit any abandoned places in Utah?
Luckily, thanks to the Bureau of Land Management and National Parks Service, many of Utah's abandoned towns are open to visitors. While some may be tucked away in other monuments or regions - like Paria, in Grand Staircase-Escalante, many can also be found off the beaten path. If you head out to explore abandoned spots in Utah, be sure you're prepared with a plan and emergency supplies, and that you leave no trace of your visit.
What are the creepiest cemeteries in Utah?
One of the spookiest graveyards in the Beehive State is the Logan Cemetery. Visit at midnight during a full moon and you may see the Weeping Woman statue cry. Many of our ghost towns have eerie pioneer cemeteries, and the Ogden City Cemetery is haunted by the young spirit of Florence Grange. At the Aultorest Memorial Park, some graves stay warm all year long, and even snow melts off in the winter.
