Aspen Care Center

My friend has been in Aspen for about a month. Everything seems to be fine. The meals are served on time and hot. What she likes about it is the temperature control is remotely controlled. You could stay in bed and adjust the temperature whereas in the others you have to get in the wheelchair and go over the other side of the room. This is just digital and very convenient. The room is just fine. It is an older facility and not as new as the others she has been in. But the staff is good.

I visited this facility on several occasions. All residents seemed well cared for. They seemed to really care about their residents and make sure their needs were met. The facility was clean and had many living plants inside and out to improve the environment for the residents and to offer some beauty to appreciate. The facilities were a bit small as some residents who wanted to attend were unable to attend the meeting we presented due to a lack of space. Other limitations were that there didn't appear to be a lot of fun activities available. On a more positive note, I do recall they had a chess and checkers set in the main auditorium which the residents could use. The grounds were kept very nice and clean, and the plants in the external planters seemed well groomed. I didn't know any particular resident; each one I was able to visit with seemed happy.
