Can Point of the Pines Gardens Assisted Living care for a resident with dementia?

CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether Point of the Pines Gardens Assisted Living 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 Gardens at Viewpointe (1.3 mi, 162 beds), MorningStar at Mountain Shadows (2.0 mi, 78 beds), Hemsley House Assisted Living & Memory Care at University Park (2.2 mi, 70 beds).
