The Family Shortlist

Bulletin No. 1 · Build your shortlist

Form

Three questions, and you’ll have a shortlist you can carry into a tour.

All 396 licensed assisted living residences in the six-county metro, from Colorado state records. Nothing you type here leaves your browser — there is no account, and no one is paid to be on your list.

Where are you looking, and how far can you drive?

Think about the drive you’d make every Sunday, not the one you’d make once. Your ZIP is used to measure distance inside this browser and is never sent anywhere.

How far you can drive

What this is: an independent directory built from Colorado state inspection records. No facility pays to be listed or ranked. Made by a family that has been through this search.

What you’ll have at the end

  1. Up to five licensed residences near you — phone numbers, licensed bed counts, Medicaid status, and what the state’s record does and does not say about each one.
  2. The questions worth asking inside the building. Colorado does not record whether a residence runs a secured memory-care unit, and it does not track whether staff completed the dementia training the state requires. Those become questions you ask, not guesses we make.
  3. A sheet you can print and carry, with your own constraints at the top — so you are not reciting them from memory in a lobby.
