Aspen Trace Family-first Senior Living

My grandfather was moved here for rehabilitation after a hip/foot surgery. The first time I visited was troublesome because he and his room were a mess but I’m happy to say it has only gotten better! Staff does change often due to hours or other units needing help but the staff I’ve seen consistently working with him were quick to get to know him and he likes them. At 94 with Alzheimer’s, his hip and foot healed as quickly as one would hope so we decided to keep him here instead of move him back to the memory care unit he was at before. This unit has activities all throughout the day to keep the residents busy and engaged which is what busybodies like my grandfather need. His aides, house keeper, and caring hearts therapy checks in on the state of his room multiple times a day to make sure he doesn’t have any fall hazards or need any thing. He has only been here two months so it’s hard to give a more detailed review since things can change depending on staffing but I think the Cherished Memories at Aspen Trace is a great choice for family members with deteriorating Alzheimer’s.

Very disappointed in this facility. After I toured this facility for my sister who was in the hospital at the time, and it was one her insurance covered, my sister was excited to go there for rehab. She has been through two stem cell transplants and is in remission for aml leukemia and needed rehab to get stronger as she was very weak. Our family did not want her going to just any nursing facility as she needed to be in a nice facility to encourage her and have exactly what she needed. She was encouraged for the first time in a long time and we were hoping that the rehab would turn things around. However Aspen Trace refused her saying she was a financial risk for them due to her needs. Meaning her stay may go on longer than they want. This is not accurate at all as her doctors knew that the cause of her weakness was the meds she had to be on and after she was off of the necessary meds, she would improve. Aspen Trace was more concerned with the financial end of things rather than helping individuals who desperately need it. She is still in the hospital and in a depressed state right now because she had hoped this facility would help provide what she needs. This facility was covered by her insurance!! We are EXTREMELY upset that Aspen Trace is doing this and will be sure and put the word out about this kind of situation!

When Rehab is necessary, Aspen Trace has been a blessing. I am impressed with the team especially Eric (RN) and Gina (Admissions). PT, OT, and Speech are fantastic too. Really like that each Aspen leader is assigned a patient and they give the resident and family their personal cell number along with checking in with the resident daily.
