The rules that apply to this facility.
State requirements with the exact regulation citation, plain-language explanation, and a question to ask on tour. Rules this facility has been cited for appear first.
Plain language
CDPHE licenses assisted living residences. A secure environment for residents who need one is optional under Chapter 7, Part 25. CDPHE does not publish a facility-level list of homes that have that option, so this page does not call the home state-verified memory care.
Ask on tour
“Ask whether the home has a secure environment, and ask to see the part of the license that says so.”
