Ask the administrator to walk you through what would trigger a report and how families are told.

Is there a secure dementia unit at Starlight Assisted Living?

CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether Starlight 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 Palisades at Broadmoor Park (5.0 mi, 77 beds), Brookdale Broadmoor (6.1 mi, 89 beds), The Gardens at Broadmoor Court (6.7 mi, 72 beds).
