12 Oaks Senior Living announces the addition of a new community in St. George, Utah, to its growing management portfolio. The 169-unit assisted living and memory care community, formerly known as The Meadows at Escalante, represents 12 Oaks’ first presence in the Utah market and is a key step in the company’s strategic regional growth.

The community includes 121 assisted living units and 48 memory care units. With this transition, 12 Oaks has been entrusted to elevate the overall resident experience, enhance operational performance, and restore the property’s reputation as a trusted care provider in the region.

“As we take the reins of this community, we see a tremendous opportunity to reintroduce excellence in care and hospitality to the residents and families.” said Greg Puklicz, President of 12 Oaks Senior Living. “Our focus is on building a culture that reflects warmth, dignity, and innovation—values that guide every aspect of our management approach.”

As part of the transformation, 12 Oaks Senior Living will implement industry-leading platforms for streamlined high-touch care delivery and operations, and programs to enhance personalized engagement and resident story and legacy preservation. These tools will support a revitalized environment focused on person-centered programming and meaningful connections.

“We are honored to be chosen as the new management partner for this community,” added Puklicz. “Our goal is to bring fresh energy, consistent leadership, and proven operational strategies to help this property reach its full potential.”

This latest addition to the 12 Oaks portfolio reflects the company’s continued expansion across the western U.S. while reinforcing its dedication to providing compassionate care, innovative services, and community-focused leadership in every market it serves.
