Aspire Senior Living

I moved into Aspire Senior Living. I'm in enhanced assisted living. They've very kind, caring, competent, and professional. My room is lovely. It has radiant heat, so it's always a good temperature. I control the temperature. The shower has about five bars and the toilet has four bars, so it's very safe and convenient. It's all new and clean. The food is good. There are a lot of fruits and vegetables. There are all kinds of stuff. They go to casinos, they're going to the botanical gardens in Chicago, they go grocery shopping at Wal-Mart, there are games in-house, bingo and cards, and there's happy hour. There's a fully stocked bar and bartenders on Fridays. There are Kentucky Derby Day races in power wheelchairs, wheelchairs, walkers, and canes. It was lots of fun and it was beautiful weather. There's a pool. There's an outdoor space right out the backdoor. It's right out of the dining room, and there's a fire pit, walking paths, and covered gazebos where a lot of times families will bring a dessert or snack out there and there are people out there walking their dogs. There's a lot of green area for the little dogs. It's fancy-schmancy. It just costs a lot of money.

I was impressed with Aspire Senior Living. The lady that gave me the tour was wonderful. That was good. All of the rooms, even the smallest ones, were fine. They had a lot of stuff to do and they had a beautiful pool. The outside area was also very nice.

Aspire Senior Living Oshkosh is a very good place. The people working here are very friendly and very helpful. I've got everything I want. If I need help, I get all the help I need. So, it's been great. It's brand new, very nice, and well-decorated with lots of places to sit down. There's an activity sheet with a lot of stuff going on. They have bingo, word searchs, warm up exercises, arts and crafts, movies several times a month, a swimming pool, and an exercise room. There are different games, like balloon games, word games, and Yahtzee. There's happy hour on Friday, trips to different places, baking for dog biscuits, puzzles, and special events (like a Valentine's Day social).

Aspire Senior Living was a very good and very clean place. It looked very homey and the apartment itself was in excellent shape. I liked that it offered a pool and an exercise room. Their two-bedroom apartment was also beautiful.

Aspire Senior Living was spectacular. It's awesome. Things were very nice there. The people were pretty friendly. The tour was very informative and they answered all the questions we had. The amenities there, like the pool and all of that stuff, for my sister and me, would be nice, but my father's not going to end up using the pool or the weight room. There were other things there that I'm sure he would enjoy doing. We enjoyed the tour a lot. They're open to more questions if we come up with them. When we were talking to the person that was showing us through, we went through a checklist of stuff that we figured would be necessary for my father. Right now, he doesn't need any personal hands-on care, but being his age of 93, we're relatively sure that he's going to have to go into an assisted living eventually. He decided that he would like to get into a place that once he was in, he wouldn't have to leave. We are looking at a transitional housing type. Everything was explained and everything looked pretty nice. They were all very friendly and asked if we needed any extra assistance or if we had any other questions. They offered to show us around and to the individual things they did. I got to check out the menu and we got a tour of the kitchen area. We were there when they were preparing dinner and they smelled pretty good. I didn't get to taste, but they did smell very appetizing. There were a couple of things I could see that might be an issue with my dad. Otherwise, it's a very nice building. It's just maybe some of the walking distances for my father might be a problem, but that's going to be a relatively personalized problem.

Aspire Senior Living was new and very much like a hotel. I saw an empty room, but it was very clean and bright. The staff during the tour was very professional and personable. They had a musical presentation while we were there and that was well attended. They have a pool. My father just wasn't the right person for something that big, but it's very nice.

The tour at Aspire Senior Living was very good, very thorough, professional. The accommodations, they're like apartments. They had movie nights. I think they have billiards, they have a pool, a cafe, and restaurants. They had different social activities that went on like playing cards or bingo, different things like that. I think it was a much smaller facility, and then also the pricing was a drawback.

Teddie

We really liked Aspire Senior Living. The staff we talked to was very nice, very thorough, and very accommodating. We liked her a lot. She showed us a two-bedroom and it was great. If we go there, that's probably what we would want. The amenities were outstanding. We saw the gym, the swimming pool, the art room was great because I paint, and they had so many different things going on. There are craft rooms, big meeting rooms where they have card games and different classes going on, and a movie theater. She told us about what was available, and what they do, and everything, and I'd be allowed to take my dog. They have a really nice large patio with umbrella tables, and there's a walkway around the pond. It's very nice. They have bingo, cards, they bring in live entertainment once a week, and they have lots of daily activities, and things that go on there.

Our visit with Aspire Senior Living was fine, it just wasn't the right place for what my father needs. Everything was very, very clean. The staff was nice except it just didn't seem as friendly and outgoing as the other place. They have five times or six times more occupants. It had so much to offer, but just not the things that would accommodate my dad. The rooms at the other place were nicer than the rooms that I saw at Aspire. We saw the pool, the fitness center, and the hair salon. The person who I met was awesome and very nice.

My mother lived at this facility the past year and a half. I am great full to the staff for the great care they provided for mom Fromm assisted living to when she advanced into a higher level of care. As my mothers condition evolved the staff seamlessly met her current needs. I especially want to Thank Heidi at the front desk for always pointing me in the right direction and advising me, and Nick M. for giving my mom loving attention and facilitating face book call with my siblings. The nursing staff was very responsive and caring to my mother. Thank you Aspire you are highly recommended!!

My parents moved from a local LTC facility into Aspire as my mom needed more care than the previous facility could offer. I am an only child living in Arizona so confidence and trust is extremely important. I was often on edge when they lived at their previous facility. While I generally felt they did an ok job I was not always confident they had my parents best interest in mind. Since their move to Aspire 3 months ago my stress level has gone to nearly zero. Aspire is AWESOME. The apartment has several large windows and has a great layout. My parents love the food and the apartment. All of the staff are very kind and caring. The leadership is truly tremendous: Breeze, Nick, Katie and Catie are extremely professional, upbeat, fun, and creative. You can really tell that they love their jobs. I also have every confidence in the way they are handling the COVID situation. My parents sleep very well at night and so do I. Thanks Aspire, for making my parents part of your family!!!

My mother is currently a resident in assisted living at Aspire Senior Living in Kimberly. When our mother, along with my sisters and I, first decided that assisted living was the best option for her daily needs, we took the time to investigate several different facilities in several different cities. When comparing those facilities that met her needs, Aspire seemed to excel in every category that was important to us. These things included meeting the care level needed, the feeling of"home", the option of activities, a beauty shop, wonderful dining services and most of all caring staff. Nick, Breeze and the rest of the staff have always been willing to take the time to answer any question we have and helped us at each step of the way during the move in process. This was new territory for our family and we appreciated their care in making it easy on us. Soon she will be living there one year and there is not a day that we have regretted the decision. She is very happy at Aspire.

My mom loves living at Aspire, or as she calls it 'Home'. Her apartment has so many windows & a nice patio to make it cheery and welcoming. She especially loves the staff & daily will say how lucky she feels to be there and the hugs she gets. It's so wonderful to know my mom is happy, peaceful, and has made so many new & old friends. For myself, anytime I've had a question or needed support, someone has always been right there with a warm smile and a helping hand.

My wife has been in the Memory Care unit at Aspire for three and one half months. We chose Aspire for their pool, staff and decision to split the memory care and full care areas. The latter gave visitors and memory care residents much more freedom. We visited several places, in most we both said "No" until our visit to Aspire and both believed this place would work. COVID-19 changed many things at every CAREFULLY administered nursing home. I believe Aspire has done a good job in protecting their residents and also in helping keep them connected with family and friends by telephone, e-mail and FaceTime. My wife says the meals are very good. Unfortunately most all social activities had to be discontinued but that is why a good staff becomes so important. I miss all of them (that includes my wife). I am currently very happy with our decision. WBGW

The process of helping a spouse enter assisted living is difficult in itself. With the help of the Director Nick M. and his Staff they have made this transition extremely easy and made my spouse and myself comfortable. My spouse needs extra help in various things and the staff is attentive and caring to his needs. It has only been a few days for this adjustment for my spouse and myself but we are clearly much more relaxed and content where we are at with the help of the staff of Aspire. Doing all this during the pandemic was also a struggle but again the staff made this almost a walk in the park doing so many things for me. Heidi B. was excellent, Nick was accomidating and simply professional and kind. We are fortunate to have people that care for the elderly and have a facility of the quality of Aspire Senior Living. I would highly recommend Aspire to anyone that has to make these decisions for their loved one.

The memory care staff is very well trained in dealing with all issues associated with dementia. They have done wonders for my mom! She has become more social and loves to walk and visit with her friends. The building and environment is beautiful, peaceful and welcoming. We feel very fortunate to have found Aspire!

My Mother has been in Memory care for over a year and is very happy there. The staff is caring, friendly, and go out of their way to help with any requests like eating in front of the big TV for Sunday Packer games. The food is first class in taste and appearance. Mom's room is clean and comfortable. The staff keep the residents busy from card games to bowling down the hallway, concerts, hot chocolate nights in the pub, bus tours, as well as getting the ladies nails done, and or hair cuts in the salon. During this Corona pandemic Aspire is on lock down, but they have set up face-time visits for the families of the residents.

My mother has been a resident in the memory care area at Aspire since February, just before the current the COVID-19 precautions went into effect. The staff, food, room, entertainment, activities, especially the fancy jetted bath tub were all wonderful. Then the unthinkable happened, and we haven't been able to visit for weeks. The staff has helped my mother keep connected through technology. She is still getting out and socializing in the facility. She likes the food. It has been hard for her to understand what happened, but the loving care, understanding and help she has gotten from everyone at Aspire has been fantastic. It is keeping her not only functioning but thriving. It was a difficult decision to move my mother into a care facility. The first few weeks, the decision would be good, then bad, then okay, then back to good. Since the COVID-19 precautions, Aspire has done more than we could have hoped for or imagined as a caring, safe, but still stimulating environment. I cannot wait to visit my mother again, but also see, talk, and joke with all of the amazing staff. I miss them all.

After viewing many of the areas other facilities we stopped in here. They did not know we were coming. They were extremely nice and made my mother in law feel very comfortable and important. We also liked the option that she could stay here and just move to the next area as her care changed. We have just recently done that. She is so comfortable and has made some great friends. A group of lovely ladies walk every night, and even though Mom is on the other side they still come to pick her up! On Fridays she gets her hair done there. Lots and lots to do! As close to being in your own home as it gets. We can't thank them enough! One HAPPY family!

Aspire Senior Living is pretty good. The staff is very nice. The place is very clean. The food is excellent. My mother likes it a lot. She is very happy there. They have too many activities to list. You couldn't get bored and if you're bored, it's your own choice. They have bingo, movies, art, plays, cards, mass, and bible studies. It varies every week. They have special things for special holidays. The staff members are very caring. They try very hard to accommodate you and really get to know the people there. They're a little overwhelmed right now with their cleaning staff, but on the whole it is very good.

I did visit Aspire and I absolutely would not go there. It was too dark of a place. Everything was just plain dark. It was about a mile from my house. They have 2-bedrooms and single rooms. However, from the minute I walked in, everything was so dark; I have to stay away from that because it was too depressing. The staff member who helped me during the quick visit was very nice though. The dining room was dark, but they have underground parking and a bus to take people to different things. I saw some people playing cards. However, I don't remember what their activities were; I was so turned off by the darkness of the place. You see, this is ridiculous, because it is brand new, and I know I should like it, but I just don't.

Aspire Senior Living was very affluent. The way they acted towards me was strange. It was not very welcoming. They're very professional and businessminded. It looked like a great big indoor affluent home. They treated me like I was impoverished. They had this air about them that was very arrogant. It was a nice facility and they had a pool, but no one was using it at the time.

Aspire Senior Living was brand new and the staff was very nice. They only require one year's worth of income before Medicare takes over. The staff is good. The food is really good. The service is sometimes a little slow for the food, but otherwise, my dad is happy as a client. They're very clean, with nice amenities and a nice outdoor patio with a fire pit. I really can't say anything bad about the place. Cost-wise, they're average, and they're on par with other facilities in the area. Pricewise, they're equivalent to other places.

We took a tour of Aspire Senior Living, and they spoke to us about the qualifications. In terms of cost, we don't qualify to go there. The apartments were just as nice as the whole place. The lady who assisted us was very good. They had a lot of amenities, including a showroom.

Aspire Senior Living was a 5-star across the board. It was excellent. Everything was top of the line. The facilities were great. There were lots of people and lots of activities. They accommodate memory care when it becomes necessary, but they have to separate the two people and that didn't go over well with us. However, everything there was very nice. We saw three different rooms. We saw a room where our couple could move in together. They could live together in a 2-bedroom unit. They also showed us the memory care section where the wife would have to go when she became worse, then they showed us where there was more care needed. It was sort of like a nursing home. Everything was perfect. They serve at least three meals a day, and people have an opportunity to come and order extra food. It's almost like a café. If residents schedule their appointments, they provide transportation for them. They had a lot of very nice amenities. They have a swimming pool, a pool room, and a big library. The staff was very professional, very accommodating, and very knowledgeable.

Aspire Senior Living would have been our first choice, but I spent over a month constantly calling them and finding out if I could move my dad in and if there was other information they needed, so I gave up on them. The place was beautiful. We saw the menu, and the dining hall was excellent. Everything was brand new, and the whole place was absolutely gorgeous.
