Can Duncan-Hart House care for a resident with dementia?

CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether Duncan-Hart 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 (0.5 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).
