Does Orchards at Crestview offer memory care?

CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether Orchards at Crestview 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 Retreat at Sunny Vista (1.0 mi, 75 beds), Mackenzie Place - Colorado Springs (1.3 mi, 84 beds), Brookdale Monument Valley Park (1.6 mi, 75 beds).

Begin with what the state's record raises: 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 how many caregivers and QMAPs are on each shift, and how often agency staff fill in.
• Ask whether the residence operates a secure environment and, if so, for its written Part 25.4 disclosure.
• Read the full price list and how care levels are assessed before signing; ask how often levels are re-assessed.
