Aspen Ridge | Active Adult Community

Patsy

I found an apartment at Aspen Ridge | Active Adult Community. It's for 55+ and it's working very well. It's very good. They have a bible study on Wednesdays and there are three or four different fitness programs or exercise-type things that vary every day of the week. They have a shuttle to Wal-Mart every Tuesday. There's also a continental breakfast every day. Wednesday, they make breakfast of some sort like biscuits and gravy and pancakes, and a week before that, it was French toast and eggs. At the end of the halls, they had puzzle tables that were there all the time. It's all very good. There's evening stuff to do. A lot of people that have been here are very friendly. You meet a lot of people. They have entertainment on Friday. They have a little puzzle contest. You pick up your entries on Monday or Tuesday and then turn them in. There are drawings for those that got them right and stuff. There's a colored pencil art class. There are a lot of things and you can choose to participate or not. You have a full kitchen and you can do your own thing. They also have garage buildings across the street. They have a very good walking area that circles the entire place. Price-wise, it was less than the others that I looked at. It was a much cheerier, light place. For older people with their eyesight, it is an advantage to have lighter surroundings. The staff is very good. I don't have any problem at all. You get all your questions answered fast and efficiently. The food has been very good. The meal costs you $7 to $8 to order. You can order lunch or dinner, and they bring that every day if you don't want to cook yourself. The activities are very good. People play a lot and a lot of them have card games that they will play with a group. The residents are very friendly and helpful.

Aspen Ridge had excellent management. I loved them. It's 100% clean. You can get food and I would order meals with my mom all the time. They had all kinds of activities. They had exercises, art activities, happy hours, excursions, and everything. They also had a pool, a library, an exercise room, and monthly birthday celebrations.
