bingo, movie nights, seem to like it. Right now they have a special where the price is locked no matter what is needed and we got that promotion. I have refereed two of my clients that needed some help with their parents. Feels homey!
I am currently a resident at Liberty Heights and everything about my experience here has been great! I moved here from a different facility that I was not happy with, this place has been much better for me! I would recommend this facility to others.
Very nice people and clean, upbeat place. Slow getting going with administrative tasks. I'm happy mom is here. She will do well and seems happy. A few surprises; Didn't realize medicare supplement insurance is only regional and only changed at months end. This lapse caused some expensive drug outlays. Broadmoor did not get the docs drug list right at one point and we had to correct. (no harm done though) . Over all I believe it will be a great place. this year will tell the story.

Families can pay for assisted living in a number of sustainable ways. Most use a combination of public and private sources to fund their time in assisted living. As a general rule, families that begin planning early have more options overall. To help you explore some of these options, you can view our complete guide to paying for long-term care.
Below, you’ll find information on typical private and public payment methods. We also provide resources that may help low-income and disabled seniors in Colorado Springs access eligible benefits, like Medicaid, Medicare, and veterans benefits. You’ll learn how to start navigating your resources to pay for home health care or a move to an assisted living facility.
In Colorado Springs, seniors typically use their personal resources to pay for their ideal assisted living community. The more resources a family has, the more assisted living options they’ll have available. Additional income sources may include investment returns, pensions, or any of the following:
In Colorado, assisted living facilities must meet the needs of their residents and must not admit seniors whose needs cannot be met by the staffing’s expertise. Because of this, assisted living facilities must conduct a pre-admission assessment of potential, would-be residents. This assessment seeks to understand a person’s capacity for self-care, overall health information, and their physical, social, and mental needs.
The community itself must be able to provide the following services to residents:
Additionally, in the state of Colorado, assisted living residences cannot provide a fully equipped kitchen inside the residents’ units. Instead, lodgings often come equipped with miniature versions comparable to what one might find in a hotel room — kitchenettes with mini-fridges and microwaves.
Assisted living facilities in Colorado Springs are licensed by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). The Health Facilities and Emergency Medical Services Division oversees adult care and assisted living facilities and is responsible for performing quality and safety inspections. To review any licensed facility, you can view all inspection reports for the past five years on their website.
For a deeper understanding of Colorado regulations and how they impact your loved one’s stay in assisted living, you can also review the following information:
Some assisted living communities may be eligible for Medicaid and Medicare certification. This allows facilities to bill Medicaid or Medicare for some health care services provided to residents. It also means the assisted living facility has to adhere to strict health care guidelines and participate with regular inspections by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
