Can The Lodge at Palmer Point Residential Assisted Living care for a resident with dementia?
CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether The Lodge at Palmer Point Residential 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: Mackenzie Place - Colorado Springs (0.7 mi, 84 beds), The Residence at Village Green (1.4 mi, 68 beds), Lark Springs (1.5 mi, 76 beds).
