Westmark House

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

CDPHE lists Westmark House as active under facility ID 23U713 with 8 licensed beds, which makes it a small residential home and number 68 of 69 by size in the two 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.

What does Westmark House's inspection history look like?

The newest entries in the inspection list:

Of the visits shown, 7 listed visits involved a complaint investigation. Per ten licensed beds that is about 11.2 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 Westmark House reported occurrences to CDPHE?

Westmark House filed 4 occurrence reports with CDPHE in the years shown (2023: 1, 2025: 3); the most recent listed is dated September 22, 2025, and the recent entries include physical abuse (3), verbal abuse.

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 Westmark House care for a resident with dementia?

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

Ask how many residents the secure area serves, who is inside it overnight, and what behavior would lead the residence to ask a resident with dementia to move. Larger residences nearby that families often ask about for memory care: The Palisades at Broadmoor Park (1.6 mi, 77 beds), Brookdale Broadmoor (1.8 mi, 89 beds), The Gardens at Broadmoor Court (2.3 mi, 72 beds).

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

The nearest other senior ALR is The Palisades at Broadmoor Park in Colorado Springs, about 1.6 miles away as the crow flies, licensed for 77 beds as a private-pay ALR.

What does Westmark House's record suggest asking on a tour?

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 what happened in the most recent occurrence report (September 22, 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.
• Take the resident agreement home and check the care-level charges, rate-increase notice and the 30-day discharge clause.
• Ask how many Medicaid (EBD waiver) residents the residence has now and whether a waiting list exists for those beds.
