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.

I used to work there and I loved it. My team was amazing and I loved helping the residence. I did have a concern about a nurse that also worked there but other than that I loved it

As our fathers dementia advanced, we knew he was not receiving the support needed in Phoenix. After a long discussion and search, we decided to move him from Arizona to western Colorado for better care and to be closer to family. We read websites and reviews (like this one). Family visited facilities in a limited way (because of Covid-19). We spoke on the phone to people at these various care centers, and then had to rely on intuition and hope in order to make a decision. We chose to trust the staff at Aspen Ridge. Right from our initial contact, their focus had been on our father. Family members were interviewed so the staff could learn more about Dad: his roots, his work, his joys. They were focused on how best to help him in the present by being aware of who he was in the past. Its a wonderful formula that works very well in providing assistance and direction during his life today. He has looked much better in the months since we made the move. Hes more alert and well groomed. Theres a sparkle in his eyes. Dementia is a rough ride. There are good times and some not so good. But we are very happy our father is supported throughout his journey with the caring and helpful team at Aspen Ridge. It was the best choice we could have made for him. Korkowski Family

I find the facility very clean and has great views. I like the layout so residents can walk without coming to the end of a hall. The staff has been very helpful and keeps me informed of my loved one and her needs.

I was asked by my boss Nikki to leave a review. I started working at Aspen ridge about 4 months ago. I am the activity assistant. I think our activity department is really great, I enjoy working at this facility. It is an honor and privilege to be a part of our elders life at this stage, and I would recommend Aspen ridge for anyone considering an Alzheimers care facility.

I cant speak highly enough of the care at Aspen Ridge. From the the first moment, the level of care exceeded any of the other facilities where my father had been previously. No matter who I spoke with, they always knew where Dad was and what he was up to. They kept him active and did not allow him to wither away forgotten in the corner. When end of life came, staff members were known to come in on their day off the check on Dad. It felt like family. You wont be disappointed with the care your loved one will receive.

After all the watching, worrying, testing and ultimate diagnosis of dementia, the decision to place a parent in a memory care facility is heart wrenching! The process of selecting a place brings on another level of concern, maybe even a bit of fear. We read reviews, met with staff, asked loads of questions and toured a variety of facilities. Finally, in February of 2017, we transitioned Rosalie to Aspen Ridge in Grand Junction. While we will always wish things were different - that perhaps we could care for her in our own home - we know we made the best decision. Aspen Ridge is beautiful. Their Meaningful Moments philosophy is reflected by honoring each resident with a personal storyboards outside their rooms. Staff treats everyone with respect, dignity and the kind of love given a family member. We visit often. We have become observers of patience, grace, kindness, love, generosity of heart, adaptability, compassion and joy. We are grateful for so many loving caregivers in such a beautifully designed and well-maintained facility in such a beautiful location. It gives us peace knowing Rosalie is safe and well cared for. Thank you!

I have been a nurse for almost 26 years and most of my experience has been in Assisted Living and Memory Care facilities. I have seen both good and bad facilities and I have seen EXCELLENT, which is the category that Aspen Ridge is placed. The residents here are engaged and happy! Their needs are met by trained staff who are able to take the time to meet every need emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Each residents life story is important at Aspen Ridge and is incorporated in their daily interactions, allowing them to have quality interactions and meaning to their lives. Each Residents medical needs are attended to immediately by a highly trained nursing staff, and families are always in the loop regarding their loved ones care. I cannot say enough praise to Aspen Ridge for their dedication to excellence in resident care.
