Homemade straight from our kitchen 😋 Honey mustard–glazed salmon served with roasted red‑skinned potatoes, a savory vegetable blend, and finished with lemon bundt cake for dessert. Delicious from start to finish!

Literally a trip down memory lane. It was a pleasure exploring the Otsego County Historical Museum alongside Jim Akan and Rosann Kujawa as our gracious hosts. Thank you for welcoming us and sharing the rich history of our neighbors and community!

My father in law moved into aspen ridge the memory care side. We would stop in on a regular basis at all hours of day and night. I was pleasantly surprised by all the care that we seen that their wonderful staff gave to my father in law plus along with the other residents. Every staff member member I came across was so caring and dedicate to all of residents. His room was always clean and bedding was always clean.They always assisted him to help him get dressed and made sure he came out of his room apartment to go to the common area to eat and visit with other residents, top notch service. We are so happy that we found Aspen Ridge and they were there to take care of my father in law in his final days.
