Most recent inspections in CDPHE's list:

• Jun 2, 2026: Licensure and Licensure Complaint (Combined) (inspection RD0L11)

For context, the median among the 38 large metro communities we profile is 16 citations over the same window, so Harvard Square Senior Living's count is on the high side. Read the citation text: one complaint visit can produce several citations about a single incident, and the plan of correction shows what the residence committed to change.

What incidents has Harvard Square Senior Living reported to CDPHE?

Harvard Square Senior Living filed 17 occurrence reports with CDPHE between 2023 and 2026, about 9 per 100 licensed beds. Occurrences are incidents a facility must report to the state itself, such as an abuse allegation or a resident going missing; a report is not a finding of fault.

Newest reports, by the category CDPHE assigns:

• Jul 10, 2026: Physical Abuse
• Jul 7, 2026: Misappropriation of Property
• Jun 11, 2026: Physical Abuse
• May 26, 2026: Physical Abuse
• Jan 5, 2026: Brain Injury

That rate is below the median of 13 per 100 beds among the large metro communities we profile. Residences that serve more people with dementia tend to report more, and prompt reporting is itself required, so ask what the residence learned from recent reports rather than judging the count alone. Each report in CDPHE's tool opens a summary of what happened and what the facility did.

How large is Harvard Square Senior Living compared with other assisted living in Denver?

Harvard Square Senior Living is licensed for 195 beds, more than 99% of the 421 active assisted living residences in the seven-county Denver metro, where the median is 12 beds. It is the No. 2 by size of the 65 CDPHE-licensed ALRs with a Denver address.

Denver County has 45 active ALRs with 3,072 licensed beds in total. 33 of the 65 in Denver are small homes of 16 beds or fewer, usually a converted house with a few caregivers rather than a purpose-built community. Large buildings tend to have a dining room, an activity staff and more caregivers on each shift; small homes trade that for a household feel.

Does Harvard Square Senior Living accept Health First Colorado (Medicaid)?

Not according to CDPHE. Harvard Square Senior Living is licensed as an Assisted Living Residence without Alternative Care Facility certification, and the payor source on record is private pay. Families using Health First Colorado's HCBS-EBD waiver need one of the 148 ACF-certified residences in the metro.

Denver County's human services office takes Health First Colorado long-term care applications; here is how the HCBS-EBD waiver works.

Does Harvard Square Senior Living offer memory care?

CDPHE's public data does not say whether Harvard Square Senior Living runs a secure memory-care area, because Colorado licenses memory care under the same ALR license. Ask the residence directly, and if it does, request its written secure-environment disclosure under 6 CCR 1011-1, Chapter 7, Part 25.

The disclosure is required by 6 CCR 1011-1, Chapter 7, Part 25; a residence that runs a secure area should hand it over without hesitation.

How much does assisted living cost near Harvard Square Senior Living?

CDPHE does not publish prices, and we do not list a price for Harvard Square Senior Living. Across the Denver metro in 2026, assisted living typically runs about $3,200 to $5,800 a month and secured memory care about $4,500 to $7,800, before care-level charges.

How should you evaluate Harvard Square Senior Living before choosing it?

Start with the public record, then visit twice. For Harvard Square Senior Living specifically, ask for the statement of deficiencies from its most-cited inspection and the plan of correction.

Time one visit for a meal and another for early evening, when staffing is thinnest. Watch whether residents are engaged or simply waiting, and how quickly call lights are answered. You can also call the Colorado Long-Term Care Ombudsman (303-862-3524) about any residence.

What should you ask on a tour of Harvard Square Senior Living?

Bring questions the CDPHE record can't answer: night staffing, how Harvard Square Senior Living decides a resident needs more care, and how the monthly fee changes when it does.

• Can family visit unannounced, including evenings?
• Who passes medications — a nurse or a Qualified Medication Administration Person (QMAP) — and how are errors tracked?
• What happens to my parent's apartment and care plan during a hospital or rehab stay?
• How many caregivers are awake and on the floor overnight, and how does that change on weekends?
• How do you respond to a fall at 2 a.m. — who checks on the resident, and when is family called?
• Which entity holds the CDPHE license, and has ownership or management changed in the last two years?
• What care needs would require a move out of assisted living, and how much notice do you give?
