We picked this community because It was a combination of the cost, the moderness of the facility and unsolicited good reviews from a few residents we saw. Also, compared to our #2 choice, the common area was bustling with activity. It was the upbeat atmosphere that won us over.

October 7, 2024Thank you for sharing your kind feedback. It is a privilege to be entrusted with the care of your loved one, and we are deeply honored to be part of their journey. Please know we are always here for you if you need anything.
My only comment would be for them to try to incorporate men's activities. They try to have them but then cancel them because no one signs up. I feel like they could try to promote more.

August 29, 2024We’re so grateful you feel happy and at home. From great dining to fun events and activities, we hope you’re taking advantage of all our community has to offer. Thank you for your kind review.
My overall satisfaction has gone down tremendously with new director. People here are not pleased at all. She has caused a lot of people to quit. The turnover of employees is unbelievable. She can't seem to take care of problems. Air conditioning out in the halls, untrained cleaning staff, turned down at the last hour for transportation. Right now I would not recommend it.

I have the best apartment in town! But we had a nearly 8% raise in rent the first of the year! New management not nearly as good as before. I'm still happy that A Place for Mom led me to this place.

Aspire at West End is great. The residents always have help with anything and have a lot of activities available. I cannot say anything bad about the place. I would recommend to anyone. My mother does not get out much, but other than that I would recommend to anyone. The only issue that my mom has ever had was that food was ordered and never delivered. She always has food in her apartment, so she didn't go hungry.

I picked it because it was less expensive. I would tell a friend that it was a very good place to live but that you would have to be extra patient with the meal. I moved out because it was a little out of my range financially. But it was still a good value for the money I thought.

The staff is very helpful. The move in process was easy. The facility is clean and the décor is beautiful and up to date. The food is very good and the waitstaff in the dining area are prompt and kind. There are plenty of activities available to the residents and most of the residents we've met are very kind and helpful as well.

I would definitely recommend Aspire at West End to others. My mom always has something to do. Whether it be swimming, going to the shops, working out, making a craft, or enjoying a meal with a friend. She loves the warm environment and positive energy of Aspire. I love visiting her there. The apartment is cleaned weekly and it is well maintained.

August 23, 2023Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re so proud that you trust us with the care of your loved one.
They are still a work in progress doing the best and staff is hard to find. With life you have to adapt and accept good and bad on all levels. I had a really upsetting problem here that lasted over a 5 day work week and that was not good. I was very ruffled and anyway - I'll let it go. But my son did say something that felt good and bad to me at same time. He said I want you to have a place where I don't or you don't have to worry about moving every year, etc. and you have easy access to healthy meals etc. As I think back on his comment I know how right he was. It was out of love. Hope that makes sense.

I picked this community because of the price. The staff has been really great. They work hard, and they are friendly. They could use more servers/staff in the kitchen.The food is good. Overall,I would recommend to others.

If you are not happy here, then something is wrong because Aspire has been just fantastic. They do a really nice job keeping the community clean and the staff are very friendly. The quality of the meals is absolutely outstanding - they are having trouble with their wait staff but that is normal in this current economy. We do admire how the staff are working through the problem and that every staff member no matter their position will step in and help. The have a nice library with a grand piano, there is a waterfall, and a bar area. The best part is the pool that they just fixed, it is fantastic and it is kept at 90 degrees. They also have bouquet flowers all around the community. They do a really good job getting the movies we want to watch for us.

The community staff turn-over is high. The food is expensive and not that good you have $400 but there is no way to opt out, you can use the money towards the hair salon though but you must use the $400 or you lose it. Most of the staff is very nice and pleasant to deal with. I have seen management yell at the staff before. It wasn't always this way, however it use to feel homey and it is a comfortable place, there's just a couple of things that need major improvements on.

We had a great tour experience with Aspire at West End. The facility and the staff were very nice and it had a wonderful atmosphere. I actually preferred this facility over the one that my friend chose. Unfortunately price wise, it was just too steep. I wish it could have worked out though.
