About Us | Aspen Senior Care

CARE BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

HOW WE BECAME ASPEN

It all started in 2004 when Gary and Julie finally found senior care. They had been searching for two years, looking for options to start their own family business. They wanted a business that would do good in the community, be fulfilling, and provide a service they could be passionate about every day. Senior care fit the bill!

Gary and Julie love people and enjoy getting to know people from all walks of life. They are also very family-oriented and love their children, grandchildren, and big extended family. We knew senior care was definitely the business as soon as we came across it. After researching the market, Gary and Julie decided to join The Senior’s Choice network and start Aspen Senior Care during the summer of 2004.

Since then, they have focused on finding top-notch caregivers first and foremost. If we trust the caregivers to take good care of our parents, then we know we can trust them to take good care of your parents. In fact, we have cared for all four of our parents in their later years with the help of amazing caregivers.

We grew our office staff by promoting great caregivers as Aspen has grown over the years. It has been a great formula that continues to be successful to this day. As Gary and Julie look back, they are so grateful to have been able to serve the seniors in the community for so many years through Aspen Senior Care and Center.

Our mission statement is very simple: "To help seniors in Utah live comfortably and independently in their own homes for as long as possible."

We do this by providing Utah's finest and most reliable in-home companion care. Our care and business practices are based on strong family values and the highest ethical standards. We perform all senior care services with professionalism and dignity, and we treat all seniors like family.

Who We Are

Gary and Julie Staples started Aspen Senior Care, in-home Care for seniors, in 2004, and Aspen Senior Day Center, a daycare center for those needing memory care, in 2009.

Gary and Julie were eager to find a business opportunity that made a positive difference in the lives of others in the community. They researched various business opportunities before starting Aspen Senior Care. In their research, they found that seniors in the final years of their lives need help and want to stay in their own homes. They loved running Aspen because it does much good in the community, fulfilled their desire to serve, and provided a service could be passionate about every day!

While battling lung cancer, Gary wrote 7 Silver Linings of a Terminal Diagnosis to encourage others who travel the same challenging path. He wanted to share his perspective about the many blessings that came through those challenges and the great gift of life he enjoyed.

Gary said he had no regrets, just a lot of gratitude. We strive to continue his legacy as we carry those values on through Aspen.

Winning Best of Home Care – Provider of Choice

We consistently win Best of Home Care each year. This is not easy to do, but it’s always a goal we have. We are pleased that our own clients are involved in us winning this award year after year. Home Care Pulse is a third party company which specializes in interviewing seniors and having them rate the services they are receiving. Visit HomeCarePulse.com to learn more.

Many agencies like ours flat out refuse to have their clients rate them by a third party because they know their scores would be mediocre at best. We love feedback and transparency. We also love to know what we’re doing right and where we can improve. That’s why we have no problem with our clients rating us month after month through Home Care Pulse.

We are consistently rated high by our clients in the following satisfaction categories:

The Compassion of Caregivers, Ability of Caregivers, Work Ethic of Caregivers, Communication from Provider, Client/Caregiver Compatibility, Daily Life, Recommended Provider, and Overall Quality of Service.

We credit our fine team of caregivers and office staff for making it happen. Thanks to our clients and their families for providing ongoing positive and constructive feedback throughout each year! We are so grateful to be in your service.
