The facility's cleanliness and maintenance receive mixed reviews, with some describing it as outdated and disorganized. Communication with residents and their families is another area needing improvement, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I recently visited Aspen Ridge for my mom who's 83, an assisted living facility in Bend. I was extremely impressed with the attention to detail and high-quality services that the staff provided. The residents seemed happy and content, and the marketing manager was very helpful. They offer a variety of amenities & services including hair salon, field trips, church services, and entertainment activities. Prices are competitive for different size units but can be expensive for those on a minimum income. Overall, it is clear that Aspen Ridge is a well-established retirement community where residents can enjoy their golden years in comfort and security.
