Shana's Place Assisted Living

How large is Shana's Place Assisted Living, and what kind of license does it hold?

Yes. Shana's Place Assisted Living holds an active CDPHE assisted living license for 9 beds, smaller than the 31-bed midpoint of the 69 senior assisted living residences we track in El Paso and Teller counties.

The ACF code means the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing has certified it to serve EBD waiver members; ask how many Medicaid residents it accepts and whether a private-pay resident who spends down can stay.

What did CDPHE inspections of Shana's Place Assisted Living find?

Of the visits shown, 4 listed visits involved a complaint investigation and 2 were revisits to check corrections. Per ten licensed beds that is about 7.8 citations against a two-county median of 4.4. A citation is a rule surveyors found unmet on that visit; ask the administrator for the statement of deficiencies and the plan of correction for the latest one.

What incidents has Shana's Place Assisted Living reported to the state?

CDPHE's record for Shana's Place Assisted Living shows no occurrence reports in the period its public tool covers.

Small residences often go years without a reportable event. Still ask how the home handles falls, missing residents and medication errors, and who calls the family.

Does Shana's Place Assisted Living offer memory care?

CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether Shana's Place Assisted Living has one; ask for the Part 25.4 disclosure, which any Colorado ALR that restricts residents' exit must provide before move-in.

If it does, Colorado requires at least one trained, awake staff member in the secure area at all times, six hours of dementia training for each staff member within 60 days, and a secured outdoor space with a six-foot barrier. Larger residences nearby that families often ask about for memory care: Bethesda Gardens Monument (3.0 mi, 81 beds), Jackson Creek Senior Living (4.5 mi, 110 beds), Stonecreek of Flying Horse (8.9 mi, 105 beds).

If Shana's Place Assisted Living has no opening, where else should we look?

The nearest other senior ALR is Bethesda Gardens Monument in Monument, about 3.0 miles away as the crow flies, licensed for 81 beds as a private-pay ALR.

Which questions matter most at Shana's Place Assisted Living?

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 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.
• Read the full price list and how care levels are assessed before signing; ask how often levels are re-assessed.
• Ask how many Medicaid (EBD waiver) residents the residence has now and whether a waiting list exists for those beds.
