The Residence at Skyway Park

Is The Residence at Skyway Park a licensed assisted living residence in Colorado Springs, CO?

Yes. The Residence at Skyway Park holds an active CDPHE assisted living license for 68 beds, larger than the 31-bed midpoint of the 69 senior assisted living residences we track in El Paso and Teller counties.

As an Alternative Care Facility it can take Health First Colorado waiver residents, whose 2026 room and board is capped at $810.00 a month; certification does not guarantee an open Medicaid bed.

Of the visits shown, 7 listed visits involved a complaint investigation and 1 was a revisit to check corrections. Per ten licensed beds that is about 6.2 citations against a two-county median of 4.4.

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 The Residence at Skyway Park care for a resident with dementia?

CDPHE's public data does not flag secure environments, so the record cannot tell you whether The Residence at Skyway Park 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: Brookside Assisted Living (0.7 mi, 62 beds), The Gardens at Broadmoor Court (1.1 mi, 72 beds), Bear Creek Senior Living (1.4 mi, 137 beds).

What other assisted living is near The Residence at Skyway Park?

What does The Residence at Skyway Park's record suggest asking on a tour?

Use the public record as your checklist: ask about the 42 citations on CDPHE's record and the plan of correction for the most recent visit.

• Ask what happened in the most recent occurrence report (August 28, 2026) 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.
