Can Colorado Springs Senior Homes care for a resident with dementia?
CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether Colorado Springs Senior Homes has one; ask for the Part 25.4 disclosure, which any Colorado ALR that restricts residents' exit must provide before move-in.
A residence without a secure environment can still serve people with mild memory loss; the turning point is usually leaving the building unnoticed or behavior staff cannot redirect. Larger residences nearby that families often ask about for memory care: Mackenzie Place - Colorado Springs (0.9 mi, 84 beds), Point of the Pines Gardens Assisted Living (2.0 mi, 115 beds), Aberdeen Ridge (2.4 mi, 64 beds).

What should we ask Colorado Springs Senior Homes before signing?
Use the public record as your checklist: ask about the 24 citations on CDPHE's record and the plan of correction for the most recent visit.
- Ask what happened in the most recent occurrence report (August 5, 2026) 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.
