The Aspen sits about two miles outside Woodland Park, Colorado, and offers a medium-sized, 24-bed community for seniors looking for a comfortable, safe home. The community provides assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, assisted living residences, and hospice care. The Aspen has rooms called The Residences, which are studio layouts with private bathrooms, mini-bars, and many enjoy beautiful views of Pikes Peak and Pike National Forest. There's a sunroom with big windows, a cozy living room with a fireplace, a therapy room, and a beauty salon where folks can relax or visit with neighbors. Outdoor areas include a patio, garden, walking paths, and outdoor seating that let residents take in the mountain scenery.
The Aspen handles many levels of care, so seniors who need extra help with bathing, dressing, moving around, or medication management get support from trained staff. The facility focuses on meeting the needs of people with memory loss, mild cognitive impairment, or more complex medical needs. Nurses and aides supervise residents at all hours, and the staff tries to create a place where people can live as independently as they wish, but always have help nearby when they want it. Assisted living and memory care are tailored to each person's level of need, with routines and daily help like cooking, cleaning, laundry, and even arranging medical appointments or transportation.
Dining at The Aspen tries to suit lots of diets-professional chefs make meals for folks with diabetes or other restrictions, and there are gluten-free, vegan, low sodium, and organic foods. There's a dining room, a private dining option, and even room service, so residents get to eat the way they want. The community offers daily and community-sponsored activities, a small library, a gaming room, a fitness room, and planned day trips for those who like to stay busy or keep learning new things. There's also a caregiver support program and regular health and wellness services, including therapies and rehabilitation for those recovering from illness or injury.
The Aspen feels like a home where residents can make their own choices, keep their independence, and feel valued. The staff offers special services such as respite care and home care, so families can take a break if needed or seniors can receive help while living in their own homes. Residents find meaning in small ways, through personal achievement, having their needs respected, or just enjoying the simple things like a walk outside or a good meal. The facility offers basic but important comforts like air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, showers, wheelchair access, and parking. It's a place where safety, comfort, and community matter, with schedules and care plans that match every senior's needs and interests, helping each person feel at ease, secure, and welcome.
