Without ACF certification the residence cannot bill Health First Colorado's EBD waiver, so ask what happens if savings run low and which nearby ACFs it refers residents to.

Does Bethesda Gardens Monument offer memory care?

CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether Bethesda Gardens Monument 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: Jackson Creek Senior Living (1.5 mi, 110 beds), Stonecreek of Flying Horse (5.9 mi, 105 beds), Liberty Heights Assisted Living (6.9 mi, 60 beds).

What does Bethesda Gardens Monument's record suggest asking on a tour?

Let CDPHE's data set the agenda: ask about the 26 citations on CDPHE's record and the plan of correction for the most recent visit.

• Ask what happened in the most recent occurrence report (July 19, 2026) and what the residence changed afterward.
• Ask who gives medications on nights and weekends, and whether a nurse reviews the medication records.
• Ask whether the residence operates a secure environment and, if so, for its written Part 25.4 disclosure.
• Ask which charges rise as care needs rise and what notice comes before a rate change.
