Is there a secure dementia unit at Assisted Living at Spring?
CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether Assisted Living at Spring has one; ask for the Part 25.4 disclosure, which any Colorado ALR that restricts residents' exit must provide before move-in.
Ask how many residents the secure area serves, who is inside it overnight, and what behavior would lead the residence to ask a resident with dementia to move. Larger residences nearby that families often ask about for memory care: The Bridge Assisted Lvg at Life Care Ctr of Co Springs (2.7 mi, 65 beds), Winslow Court Retirement Community (3.0 mi, 128 beds), The Retreat at Sunny Vista (3.4 mi, 75 beds).

Which questions matter most at Assisted Living at Spring?
Let CDPHE's data set the agenda: ask for the most recent CDPHE survey report and the plan of correction, even though the citation count is not high for the area.
- Ask what happened in the most recent occurrence report (December 13, 2025) and what the residence changed afterward.
- Ask for a sample week of staff schedules and count who is awake overnight; Colorado sets no ratio, so the schedule is the evidence.
- Ask whether the residence operates a secure environment and, if so, for its written Part 25.4 disclosure.
- Take the resident agreement home and check the care-level charges, rate-increase notice and the 30-day discharge clause.
- Ask how many Medicaid (EBD waiver) residents the residence has now and whether a waiting list exists for those beds.
