Overview of Aspen Wind

Aspen Wind sits in the North College Drive neighborhood of Cheyenne, and it covers two levels of care under one roof, assisted living and memory care. If a resident’s needs shift down the road, there’s a path forward without a move to a whole new community.

Housing comes in three sizes: studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom. On the care side, there’s rehabilitation services and respite care, backed by licensed nurses and CNAs providing coverage around the clock. That’s the kind of setup that works for someone recovering from a hospital stay just as well as it does for a resident settling in for the long haul.

Aspen Wind also runs short-term stays and adult day services, two options that don’t always show up together. Short-term stays make sense for families juggling a caregiver’s own recovery or a trip out of town. Adult day services are a different animal entirely, structured daytime care and supervision for seniors who still live at home but need somewhere reliable to be during the day.

Getting around on foot is genuinely doable here, at least partially. The Walk Score comes in at 62, moderately walkable, so a few nearby spots are within reach without a car, even if most errands still mean driving.

Between the dual assisted living and memory care setup and the added flexibility of short-term stays and adult day services, Aspen Wind reads as a community built to flex around a family’s changing circumstances rather than locking residents into one fixed arrangement.

Overview of Edgewood Aspen Wind

Edgewood Aspen Wind offers assisted living and memory care in Cheyenne, WY. Assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident lives in a private or semi private room. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Having both care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time and who could move to another level without leaving the community. Private and semi private rooms are available, with a shared room option for someone who prefers to have a roommate. Respite care and short term stays give families a temporary care option when the usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Residents have access to a pool, spa, restaurant, courtyard, and garden, offering places for recreation, dining, and outdoor time on site. A shuttle is available for transportation. Edgewood Healthcare owns the community, and a Walk Score of 43 places the area in a car dependent setting, so a resident who no longer drives would need a car or ride for most errands.

Overview of The Villas

Built in 2021, The Villas takes a residential approach to nursing home and assisted living care that’s uncommon in Cheyenne. Units are private villas with full bathrooms, in-unit washers and dryers, garages, stainless steel appliances, and gas fireplaces. Utilities, lawn care, snow removal, housekeeping, and maintenance are all included. That’s a meaningfully different physical environment than most facilities in this care category.

The community sits at 6807 Faith Dr, 4.3 miles from downtown Cheyenne and 1.37 miles from the nearest hospital. Walk Score is 8, so a car or the facility’s transportation service is necessary for any errand. Transportation is provided for shopping and planned social events. Optional meal plans are available rather than required, which fits the independent-residential model.

Care types span nursing home, assisted living, and memory care. The facility is not CMS-certified, which means Medicare and Medicaid are not accepted here. That’s a structural fact, not a gap: state-licensed residential care communities outside the federal CMS system are a distinct category, and private payment is the standard arrangement. Rehabilitation services are listed among the facility’s offerings.

The Villas presents a private-pay, villa-style care model in a newly built community, designed for residents who want residential-grade accommodations without the institutional footprint of a conventional nursing home.
