Aspens at Fort Collins

They have communities at Aspens at Fort Collins. The residents' doors are on the outside of the common area and that's where they gather. They get to know the people in their area and I thought that was a great concept. The staff was very professional. The affordability was a little bit more difficult though.

Aspens at Fort Collins seemed a little newer, a little fresher. The staff who assisted me was very helpful and very informative. Everything looked very forthcoming and clean, it looked like a nice place. I looked at all the amenities there. They have a barbershop or hair salon.

My husband was at the Aspens at Fort Collins and then they asked me to pick him up. It was awful because they're short-staffed. They didn't do a great job, and they couldn't handle any problems. It seems they just want people there that are like zombies and don't take any extra care. I would not recommend them at all. The service wasn't good, they didn't gather all their residents up like they should in order to participate in activities. Many times he was locked out of his room because they have locks on there, and he would lock it and didn't know how to get back in. They had activities, but there weren't very many, and they didn't make a point to make sure that all the residents were taken to them. The facility was large and the rooms were about the same size as all the other places. You get what you pay for, it's probably one of the cheapest places. So, as far as what you get, the quality is not good, but in terms of price, it's one of the cheapest. They need to know how to handle those residents that are going to have problems. Because at memory care everyone's not perfect, they have problems, and they need to be able to address those problems.

I put my wife in Aspens at Fort Collins. It's very clean, very light and cheery. The care staff and the management are both friendly and helpful. The food is sort of average. It's not spectacular food, but it's adequate and presented nicely. The only complaint I have about it is that they should serve more finger food for these elderly people. They serve some food in regular portions that you would expect at home or in a restaurant, and that's too difficult for a lot of these older people to cut and eat. Probably the main reason I chose them is because of their extensive activities. My wife has been there for two weeks now, and she has gone to musical events. They have quite a few games like they had bingo yesterday. They have word games and guessing games. They have a very active director of activities. She's very good and very active.

Aspens at Fort Collins was nice. It was a beautiful and very quiet community. The person who did the tour was very nice, too. They have their own rooms, but they shared a bathroom in between, like a Jack and Jill. The bathrooms were spacious and pretty big. The rooms were spacious as well. The dining area was relatively open and big. It was more of a cafeteria style. They had a decent outdoor area that was landscaped and had benches and places to sit, which was nice. It just kind of gave us more of a nursing home vibe.

I looked at Aspens at Fort Collins. What I liked best with the staff was their approach to memory care, and the care of their memory care patients. The layout of the facility was very confusing. I don't know how any of the patients know their way around it because it was very confusing. The place was more than acceptable. The staff that gave the tour knew the facility. She knew the patients, and she knew their program. I didn't like the confusing layout and shared bathrooms, but the place was clean from what I could tell.
