Aspen Ridge

As a POA to a memory challenged diabetic senior on insulin and her spouse of declining health, the options for finding a reputable assisted living facility was no easy feat. Due to unforeseen circumstances, time was of the essence. The managerial staff were beyond compassionate, understanding and professional to the point of utter trust. I would desire for myself, loved one or friend to live their latter days on this earth at this first class facility. I can't sufficently thank the admistrative staff for their compassion,kind words of encouragement. I cannot adequately express my gratitude.

What a curious set of reviews. All but four assign five stars. One of these four I encountered personally at Aspen Ridge. That review classifies as “sour grapes,” considering the fact that this person was there for a very short time, whose job performance diminished from adequate, to very poor. Three of the low reviews provide no, or insufficient, information to explain the rating, which leads me to find them useless, and disregard them entirely. The one that does provide an explanation complains about staff attitudes and was written six years ago. Nearly the entire staff at Aspen Ridge turned-over in the fall of 2022, much to the chagrin of my family and myself. But we decided to let the new people get their bearings before putting my wife through the trauma of moving. We have found the newer staff to be friendly, concerned about residents’ well-being and comfort, willing to listen to our concerns and requests and to make changes as possible, and committed to the mission of memory care. We have been happy and impressed with the care my wife receives. It’s critical to recognize that working in a memory-care facility requires characteristics in a combination that few people have: Patience, strong sense of empathy, unconditional positive regard for others combined with the strength to cope with frequent loss of personal relationships, commitment to helping the disabled, acceptance of occasional inherent unpleasantness, strong sense of self, and finding personal affirmation in helping others, just to name a few. The frontline caregivers at Aspen Ridge exhibit these in abundance. Unfortunately, these are difficult to assess in hiring, so encountering someone who’s realizing they’re not up to the job can result in an unpleasant interaction, creating an erroneous impression. In summary, my family and I believe my wife is in the best place she could possibly be, which I’m sad to say means not living at home.

Aspen Ridge has the most professional group of staff and managers I've encountered in a very long time. I'm comfortable leaving my wife in good hands when it's time for me to leave after a visit with my wife. I'm glad we have such a facility available to us in the valley.
