Is Lakewood Reserve in Lakewood licensed by the State of Colorado?

Yes. Lakewood Reserve holds an active Assisted Living Residence license from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Facility ID 23R738, for 274 resident beds at 555 S Pierce St, Lakewood, CO 80226. CDPHE's registry, last updated September 29, 2026, lists it as Active, with private pay as the payor source on record.

The licensee CDPHE has on file is PIERCE SENIOR CARE LLC. The licensee is the legal entity answerable to the state; it is often a property-level company, and the brand on the sign may be a separate management company.

What incidents has Lakewood Reserve reported to CDPHE?

Lakewood Reserve filed 37 occurrence reports with CDPHE between 2023 and 2026, about 14 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:

• Jun 27, 2026: Physical Abuse
• Feb 26, 2026: Missing Person
• Feb 8, 2026: Missing Person
• Feb 5, 2026: Brain Injury
• Jan 6, 2026: Physical Abuse

That rate is close to 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 Lakewood Reserve compared with other assisted living in Lakewood?

Lakewood Reserve is licensed for 274 beds, the most of any of the 421 active assisted living residences in the seven-county Denver metro, where the median is 12 beds. It is the largest of the 43 CDPHE-licensed ALRs with a Lakewood address.

Jefferson County has 130 active ALRs with 4,080 licensed beds in total. 32 of the 43 in Lakewood are small homes of 16 beds or fewer, usually a converted house with a few caregivers rather than a purpose-built community. A community the size of Lakewood Reserve usually has more on-site services and a fuller activity calendar; a small home usually offers more one-on-one attention and a quieter setting.

Does Lakewood Reserve accept Health First Colorado (Medicaid)?

Not according to CDPHE. Lakewood Reserve 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.

Room and board stays the resident's cost even on the waiver. Check Colorado Medicaid eligibility for seniors before you apply.

Does Lakewood Reserve offer memory care?

CDPHE's public data does not say whether Lakewood Reserve 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 Lakewood Reserve?

CDPHE does not publish prices, and we do not list a price for Lakewood Reserve. 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.

Ask for the base rent, the care-level fee schedule, the community fee and the last two years of rate increases in writing. Compare with assisted living costs in Lakewood.

How should you evaluate Lakewood Reserve before choosing it?

Start with the public record, then visit twice. For Lakewood Reserve 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 Lakewood Reserve?

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

• How is the monthly fee calculated, what triggers a higher care level, and how often did rates rise in the last two years?
• 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?
