Soaring House

How large is Soaring House, and what kind of license does it hold?

Yes. Soaring House holds an active CDPHE assisted living license for 8 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 Soaring House find?

CDPHE's Find and Compare record shows 7 inspections at Soaring House with 8 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 August 10, 2026.

The visits CDPHE lists most recently:

Of the visits shown, 4 listed visits involved a complaint investigation. Per ten licensed beds that is about 10.0 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.

Has Soaring House reported occurrences to CDPHE?

Soaring House filed 2 occurrence reports with CDPHE in the years shown (2024: 1, 2025: 1); the most recent listed is dated September 27, 2025, and the recent entries include physical abuse, misappropriation of property.

Reports come from the residence itself, so a building that reports carefully can show more of them. Ask what happened in the most recent ones and what changed afterward. The two-county median for senior ALRs is 5 reports in the same window.

Can Soaring House care for a resident with dementia?

CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether Soaring House 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: Rivaria Vista Grande (1.6 mi, 78 beds), Hemsley House Assisted Living & Memory Care at University Park (2.3 mi, 70 beds), Melody Living of Colorado Springs (2.4 mi, 102 beds).

If Soaring House has no opening, where else should we look?

The nearest other senior ALR is Rivaria Vista Grande in Colorado Springs, about 1.6 miles away as the crow flies, licensed for 78 beds as a private-pay ALR.

Which questions matter most at Soaring House?

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 (September 27, 2025) 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.
• Ask which charges rise as care needs rise and what notice comes before a rate change.
• Ask how many Medicaid (EBD waiver) residents the residence has now and whether a waiting list exists for those beds.
