Rivaria Vista Grande

How large is Rivaria Vista Grande, and what kind of license does it hold?

Rivaria Vista Grande is on CDPHE's active list of assisted living residences with 78 beds; the typical senior ALR in the Pikes Peak region is licensed for 31, so this is a sizeable community.

CDPHE's coding shows no Medicaid ACF certification, so plan on private funds, long-term care insurance or VA pension here; a resident who later needs Medicaid would usually have to move to an ACF.

What does Rivaria Vista Grande's inspection history look like?

CDPHE's Find and Compare record shows 6 inspections at Rivaria Vista Grande with 9 citations across 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, fewer than the median of 13 citations for senior ALRs in the two counties; the most recent visit listed is dated May 11, 2026.

The visits CDPHE lists most recently:

Of the visits shown, 5 listed visits involved a complaint investigation. Per ten licensed beds that is about 1.2 citations against a two-county median of 4.4. Read the counts as a pattern rather than a grade, and ask to see the most recent survey and how each citation was corrected.

What do occurrence reports show for Rivaria Vista Grande?

Rivaria Vista Grande filed 5 occurrence reports with CDPHE in the years shown (2023: 5); the most recent listed is dated December 16, 2023, and the recent entries include misappropriation of property (2), verbal abuse, missing person, sexual abuse.

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.

Does Rivaria Vista Grande offer memory care?

CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether Rivaria Vista Grande 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: Hemsley House Assisted Living & Memory Care at University Park (0.7 mi, 70 beds), The Residence at Village Green (2.4 mi, 68 beds), Point of the Pines Gardens Assisted Living (2.9 mi, 115 beds).

If Rivaria Vista Grande has no opening, where else should we look?

The nearest other senior ALR is Hemsley House Assisted Living & Memory Care at University Park in Colorado Springs, about 0.7 miles away as the crow flies, licensed for 70 beds as a private-pay ALR.

Where is Rivaria Vista Grande, and how close are the hospitals?

Rivaria Vista Grande is in the Briargate, Stetson Hills & Powers part of Colorado Springs, and UCHealth Grandview Hospital is the closest general hospital on CDPHE's list, about 2.2 miles away in a straight line.

St. Francis Hospital is next, roughly 3.7 miles off. Distances are straight-line, not driving times.

If nursing care becomes necessary, the two closest CMS-certified nursing homes are Colonial Rehabilitation and Nursing (3.1 mi; CMS rating 1 of 5) and Pikes Peak Post Acute (3.1 mi; CMS rating 1 of 5).

What should we ask Rivaria Vista Grande before signing?

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 what happened in the most recent occurrence report (December 16, 2023) and what the residence changed afterward.
• 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.
