State licensed Assisted Living Residences (ALR’s) are settings designed primarily for adults, age 55+, who need housing and personal care services, with a 24/7 supervised setting. These communities, which come in varying sizes, are a socially oriented model of care for seniors. This is a significant contrast to the medical model of care such as a Hospital or the nursing model of care such as in a Nursing Home. Residents are encouraged to maintain relationships with their community, family and friends and to become involved in the community social activities which are held inside and outside the community setting. This setting is considered home by most and that philosophy is an integral part of the day to day life for residents, staff and family. There is freedom to come and go as they please, many still drive and others become more stabilized in their health because of the safety and trained staff in the Assisted Living Communities. Inspection reports and complaint histories are designed as Public Disclosure Records and are available for review at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) website.
