The Aspenwood Company

What is the best part of working at the company?
One of the things I love most about working at this company is the heart behind everything we do. It’s not just about checking tasks off a list—it’s about being part of a place where ideas are welcomed, creativity is encouraged, and every day brings a new opportunity to build something meaningful.
There’s a special kind of magic in imagining something, sharing it with your team, and watching it grow from a simple thought into a real experience that touches others. That adventure—the journey from inspiration to impact—is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
Working here feels like being part of a family that lifts each other up, celebrates every win, and believes deeply in the power of connection and creativity. And honestly, that’s what makes coming to work each day feel less like a job and more like a purpose.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If I’m honest, the most stressful part about working here is simply time—there’s never quite enough of it. With events to plan, moments to create, and memories to bring to life, it often feels like the clock is moving twice as fast as we are. And on top of that, not always having enough hands to help can make even the most exciting ideas feel a little overwhelming.
But what keeps me going is the love behind it all. Even on the busiest days, even when we’re juggling ten things at once, there’s this shared sense of purpose that reminds me why we do what we do. We’re creating joy. We’re making moments that matter. And even when it’s stressful, it’s still incredibly meaningful.
I think that’s what makes this place special—we care so much that we want to give everything we can. And even when we don’t have all the time or all the help, we still show up with big hearts and big ideas.
So yes, it’s stressful sometimes… but it’s also full of love, teamwork, creativity, and a whole lot of passion. And that makes even the hardest days' worth it. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
What I love most about our workplace is the genuine heart behind everything we do. Our culture is rooted in true person-centered care—seeing each individual for who they are and honoring their unique story.
We’re a beautifully diverse team, each bringing our own background, strengths, and perspectives. That diversity makes our community richer, more creative, and more connected.
Here, we support one another, value every voice, and show up with kindness and purpose. It’s a place where you feel like you belong… and where the care we give is filled with love. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day here is simple but meaningful filled with small moments that matter. It’s checking in on our residents, sharing laughs, solving problems on the fly, and doing our best to bring a little joy into someone’s day. It’s busy, it’s real, and it’s full of heart.

What is the best part of working at the company?
With the support of our leadership, my community has been able to reach 97% occupancy, maintain one of the lowest turnover rates in our region, and develop directors who are now stepping into support roles for other communities. As an Executive Director, that’s something I take a lot of pride in... not just the results, but the people behind them.

As I come up on my second year with this organization, I can honestly say it’s been unlike anywhere else I’ve worked in senior living.
What stands out most to me is the leadership. They don’t just talk about growth…they show up for it. I’ve been challenged, supported, and trusted in a way that’s helped me grow not only as a leader, but as a person. That kind of investment is rare, and it makes a real difference in how I lead my team every day.

This isn’t just a place to work…it’s a culture. There’s accountability, yes, but there’s also genuine compassion and a shared purpose behind what we do. You see it in the way our residents are cared for and in how our teams show up for one another, even on the hard days.
If you’re looking for more than just a job, if you want to lead, grow, and be part of something meaningful—I would absolutely encourage you to apply.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working in a thriving senior living community is juggling high expectations with challenges like staffing and growing resident needs. That said, strong support from top management really helps keep stress in check, so if stress does pop up, it’s usually more about the internal pressure to meet high standards than a lack of support.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment and culture are very positive and supportive. I’m genuinely happy working here... it’s a great company where people care about each other, work well as a team, and take pride in providing a welcoming, high-quality experience for residents.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is busy but very rewarding. I genuinely look forward to coming to work every day—the team is great, and there’s a real sense of connection throughout the community. I even find myself missing it on my days off and can’t wait to get back to see all the smiling faces, knowing we’re changing lives every day.

Having been part of the Village of Meyerland for nearly a year, I have found a sense of purpose at this stage of my life, under the umbrella of the Aspenwood Company. My workdays are spent in a supportive and nurturing environment, working closely with our brilliant management team, dedicated staff, and wonderful residents.

I am amazed by the quality of life offered to our residents at the Village of Meyerland; I’d have no reservations about my own mother living here or in any of our communities, knowing how much happiness she would find. 

It certainly makes me happy to see our residents transitioning from wheelchair to a walker, from a walker to walking proudly on their own.  I believe that happens mainly because of our incredible teams of clinical, rehabilitation, and residents care. The dietary and nutrition program, and, in my opinion, vast and fabulous daily activities targeting residents' physical, emotional, intellectual, sensory, spiritual, entertainment, and many more.  Best example would be introduction of "doll therapy" to our memory care residents. Lastly, our hardest working maintenance team.  I am a little partial to this team because we are on the same floor and they've put up with my crazy demands!!

As a member of the Concierge Team, I appreciate the trust placed in us in representing the company—whether we greet someone in person or by phone, we are often the first impression of the community. This responsibility is something I take to heart, carrying out my duties with care and accountability.  I am continually grateful for the guidance of Tom and Maria, who are foundations of CT at the Village of Meyerland. Having lost my father a few years ago, losing any of our residents at the community would be the hardest part of my job. 

Meeting the remarkable owners and senior management of the Aspenwood Company, and the recent impressive upgrades to our community, I am convinced of their genuine commitment to comfort and safety for us all.

I truly believe that when one door closes, another opens. I sincerely hope anyone looking for a new rewarding path finds it at one of the Aspenwood Company’s beautiful locations—just as I found my place here at the Village of Meyerland.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working in assisted living memory care Company is supporting residents through confusion, agitation or behavioral changes, especially when they don't understand what is happening to them. It can be difficult emotionally because you want to comfort them but sometimes, they may resist care or become upset. What helps me manage that stress is staying patient, using de-escalation techniques, and remembering that the behaviors is part of their condition, not personal. I focus on meeting them where they are, whether that means redirecting, offering reassurance, or simply giving them space. I also rely on teamwork and good communication with staff.

A typical day at The Aspenwood Company is very resident-centered, structured, and collaborative. Each day starts with reviewing resident needs, staffing, and any overnight updates to ensure continuity of care and safety.

I've been with The Aspenwood Company for over 8 years, and what started as a temporary job in the housekeeping department while I was pursuing my associate's degree in office administration has turned into a fulfilling career journey I never expected.

From housekeeping, I transitioned to part-time Concierge, then Lead Concierge, followed by Business Office Assistant, and now I proudly serve as the Director of Administrative Services. I hadn’t originally planned to stay long-term in the very beginning, but the supportive management, dedicated staff, and incredible residents made it hard to leave. The culture here is truly special.

Working at Village on the Park Onion Creek has shown me what a strong, collaborative team looks like. Everyone pitches in, supports one another, and works toward a common goal—providing the best experience for our residents. The residents themselves are a joy to be around; they always have something interesting or unexpected to say, which keeps every day fresh and meaningful.

What stands out most is the opportunity for growth and learning. I’m living proof that if you’re willing to learn and work hard, there are real opportunities to advance. The company encourages development and provides the tools and support needed to succeed.

If you're looking for a workplace where you can grow, feel valued, and be part of a team that truly cares, The Aspenwood Company is a great place to be.

Over the past two years serving as the Memory Care Director at Spring Creek Village, I have experienced tremendous personal and professional growth. This role has been more than a career opportunity—it has been a journey of learning, compassion, and leadership.

Professionally, I have developed a deeper understanding of dementia care, from designing individualized activity programs to ensuring a safe, supportive environment for residents. I’ve strengthened my skills in team management, training staff in best practices, and fostering a culture of empathy and respect. The challenges of balancing regulatory compliance, family communication, and daily operations have sharpened my problem-solving abilities and taught me to lead with both confidence and humility.

Personally, this position has enriched my capacity for patience, empathy, and resilience. Working closely with residents and their families has reminded me daily of the importance of human connection and dignity. I’ve learned to celebrate small victories, approach challenges with grace, and find joy in creating moments of comfort and happiness for those in my care.

Spring Creek Village has not only provided me with valuable professional experience but has also shaped me into a more compassionate leader and a more grounded individual. I am deeply grateful for the lessons, relationships, and growth that these past two years have brought into my life

A typical day as Director of Sales and Marketing at The Aspenwood Company is fast-paced, resident-focused, and highly collaborative. Every day involves working closely with families, supporting the community teams, and driving occupancy through relationship-building and strategic planning. I’ve learned how to balance leadership, sales strategy, and compassionate communication—skills that have strengthened me both professionally and personally.

Management is supportive, communicative, and mission-driven. The workplace culture is warm, resident-centered, and built on teamwork. Everyone works hard, but the environment feels purposeful and rewarding.

The hardest part of the job is juggling the emotional weight that comes with senior living and managing multiple urgent needs at once. The most enjoyable part is helping families find peace of mind, welcoming new residents into our community, and seeing the impact our work has on their daily lives.

The facility may look nice on the inside, but the work environment is chaotic and poorly managed. There is clear inconsistency and unfair treatment among staff, with some employees held to different standards than others. Retaliation and favoritism appear to be ongoing issues.

This facility has serious issues with staffing, communication, and fairness. Nurses are often left to work alone on multiple floors while others are consistently paired, creating an unsafe and uneven workload. Expectations are unrealistic, and staff are frequently required to stay late with little notice.

There is a clear lack of accountability. Call-outs are frequent, yet reliable employees carry the burden. Time-off requests are inconsistently approved, and there appears to be unequal treatment among staff. Professionalism is also inconsistent — some techs are closely monitored while others are allowed to sleep for extended periods, leave the floor, or engage in non-work activities without consequence.

Management communication is often unclear, schedules change without notice, and overall organization is lacking.



I’ve worked in healthcare for over 18 years, and in my current employment with the change in management in 2024, I’ve seen a completely refreshing perspective on both healthcare and assisted living. The level of care shown—not just to residents, but also to employees—is truly eye-opening.

This company genuinely values compassion, and it shows in how people are treated every day. If you’re someone who wants to make a meaningful impact while working in a supportive, people-centered culture, this is a great place to be.

Hard work and dedication don’t go unnoticed here. Within two years, I was promoted twice—from Senior Director of Administrative Services to Assistant Executive Director, while also supporting other communities. What stands out is that I didn’t have to chase these opportunities; leadership recognized my efforts and invested in my growth.

The company strongly supports internal development, offering ongoing training, encouragement, and consistent communication. The support from the home office and my direct supervisors has been exceptional—they regularly check in and ensure I have what I need to succeed.

After nearly two decades in healthcare, this is the first time I’ve experienced such a strong sense of support and genuine care for employees. It’s a culture that truly makes a difference.

With 25 years of experience in the senior living industry, covering sales and marketing, business development, operations, and healthcare, I’ve encountered a variety of owners and management companies. But I can confidently say that The Aspenwood is the best of the best! 

Since joining the Aspenwood Company in January 2025, I have had the incredible opportunity to work with the most supportive and professional team I've ever encountered. They truly value new ideas, thoughts, and opinions, creating an open environment that fosters innovation and collaboration. 

What stands out to me is how much they prioritize the well-being of their staff across all departments. From excellent benefit plans to engaging employee activities and meaningful recognition programs, they consistently uplift and celebrate their team members. 

Initially, I came on board as a contracted consultant, but Aspenwood quickly recognized my talents and offered me a full-time position. This gesture showed me how much they value me—not just as an employee but as an individual. Accepting that role was an easy decision, and I couldn't be more grateful to be part of such an extraordinary team!
