Bethhaven House

How large is Bethhaven House, and what kind of license does it hold?

Bethhaven House is on CDPHE's active list of assisted living residences with 12 beds; the typical senior ALR in the Pikes Peak region is licensed for 31, so this is a mid-sized residence.

The ACF code means the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing has certified it to serve EBD waiver members; ask how many Medicaid residents it accepts and whether a private-pay resident who spends down can stay.

What did CDPHE inspections of Bethhaven House find?

CDPHE's Find and Compare record shows 4 inspections at Bethhaven House with 8 citations across 2023, 2024, fewer than the median of 13 citations for senior ALRs in the two counties; the most recent visit listed is dated April 16, 2024.

Of the visits shown, 2 were revisits to check corrections. Per ten licensed beds that is about 6.7 citations against a two-county median of 4.4. Read the counts as a pattern rather than a grade, and ask to see the most recent survey and how each citation was corrected.

Has Bethhaven House reported occurrences to CDPHE?

Bethhaven House filed 1 occurrence report with CDPHE in the years shown (2023: 1); the most recent listed is dated August 2, 2023, and the recent entries include death.

Reports come from the residence itself, so a building that reports carefully can show more of them. Ask what happened in the most recent ones and what changed afterward. The two-county median for senior ALRs is 5 reports in the same window.

Is there a secure dementia unit at Bethhaven House?

CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether Bethhaven House 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: Brookdale Monument Valley Park (0.6 mi, 75 beds), The Retreat at Sunny Vista (1.7 mi, 75 beds), The Bridge Assisted Lvg at Life Care Ctr of Co Springs (2.0 mi, 65 beds).

Which licensed ALRs are closest to Bethhaven House?

What does Bethhaven House's record suggest asking on a tour?

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 (August 2, 2023) 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.
• Ask how many Medicaid (EBD waiver) residents the residence has now and whether a waiting list exists for those beds.
