Customized Lifestyle Plan

At Aspen Cottage, we focus on learning about your loved one’s personal history, interests and talents to create a customized lifestyle plan centering around what they can do, not what they can’t.

Communities, Activities, and Amenities

Aspen Cottage offers a great sense of community with a full schedule of activities and programming. You are welcomed into a community in which you can be involved as much or as little as you would like.

Caregivers spend quality time with residents and their families. Residents and the household care team plan activities, celebrations and other events together. Care team members get to know the residents - and their preferences - very well. These bonds make a difference for residents and families.
