Owen-Larson Hope Home

How large is Owen-Larson Hope Home, and what kind of license does it hold?

Yes. Owen-Larson Hope Home holds an active CDPHE assisted living license for 5 beds, smaller than the 31-bed midpoint of the 69 senior assisted living residences we track in El Paso and Teller counties.

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.

Colorado requires licensed facilities to report certain events to CDPHE; the report starts the state's review and does not by itself mean the residence did something wrong. The two-county median for senior ALRs is 5 reports in the same window.

Is there a secure dementia unit at Owen-Larson Hope Home?

CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether Owen-Larson Hope Home 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: The Ivy Colorado Springs (1.4 mi, 109 beds), Legend of Colorado Springs (1.6 mi, 103 beds), Melody Living of Colorado Springs (2.6 mi, 102 beds).

What other assisted living is near Owen-Larson Hope Home?

The nearest other senior ALR is The Ivy Colorado Springs in Colorado Springs, about 1.4 miles away as the crow flies, licensed for 109 beds as a private-pay ALR.

What should we ask Owen-Larson Hope Home before signing?

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 (July 25, 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.
