BEND, Ore. – Areté Living is proud to announce the rebrand of its two senior living communities in Bend, Oregon. Aspen Ridge Retirement and Aspen Ridge Memory Care are now Desert Sage Retirement and Desert Sage Memory Care.
The rebrand reflects a deeper connection to Central Oregon and reinforces the communities’ long-standing dedication to exceptional care and service. It represents the team’s focus on enriching the lives of residents through compassion, meaningful connection, and personalized support.
Inspired by the sage plant, celebrated for its resilience and healing qualities, Desert Sage symbolizes the strength and spirit seen in residents and team members each day.
Areté Living assumed management of both communities in February 2025. This rebrand introduces a fresh identity aligned with the company’s mission and values.
Desert Sage Memory Care earned a deficiency-free state survey in June 2025 shortly after the management change, affirming the team’s unwavering commitment to excellence.
“Desert Sage honors both the natural beauty of Bend’s high desert surroundings and the remarkable strength of the people who live and work in our communities,” stated Sarah Silva, President of Areté Living. “Just as the sage plant is known for its resilience and wisdom, our team and residents embody strength and enduring spirit.”
Desert Sage offers a full continuum of senior living options. Desert Sage Retirement provides independent and assisted living, while Desert Sage Memory Care serves seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
With a focus on exceptional service and meaningful experiences, Desert Sage remains a trusted resource for seniors and families across Central Oregon.
