Happy 4th of July!🎆

While we gear up to watch the annual City of Bend firework show, Aspen Ridge residents spent the afternoon making their own holiday wear! Don, Candy, Ron, and other members of the community gloved-up and began tie dying their choice of clothing. Between bright reds and dark blues, we cant wait to see how the designs turn out!

Testimonials

“I AM VERY THANKFUL”

“I would just show up whenever, without advance notice to the facility. Every single time there was always staff on the floor checking on residents, interacting with them with activities, walking with them around the building, sitting in their room with them, being present. Seeing residents gently reach out for comfort from touch and watching the staff willingly interact. Watching staff gently, slowly and encouraging help feed residents who’ve forgotten how to do it themselves. Hearing staff sing and/or talk to residents who are suddenly sad or anxious. That is what we witnessed.

I am very thankful and have been blessed by the staff of Desert Sage Memory Care.”

“OUTSTANDING STAFF”

“Outstanding staff and facility! The staff at Desert Sage Memory Care truly go above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to taking care of the residents. Having a loved one with dementia can be a difficult and sensitive dynamic to handle. I encourage anyone looking for a place to care for their loved ones to consider Desert Sage.”
