What incidents has MorningStar of Longmont reported to CDPHE?

MorningStar of Longmont filed 12 occurrence reports with CDPHE between 2023 and 2026, about 8 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.

Latest occurrence categories on the record:

• Aug 8, 2026: Brain Injury
• Jun 23, 2026: Misappropriation of Property
• Jun 17, 2026: Missing Person
• Mar 22, 2025: Brain Injury
• Oct 28, 2024: 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 MorningStar of Longmont compared with other assisted living in Longmont?

MorningStar of Longmont is licensed for 160 beds, more than 96% 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 11 CDPHE-licensed ALRs with a Longmont address.

Boulder County has 27 active ALRs with 1,736 licensed beds in total. 3 of the 11 in Longmont 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 MorningStar of Longmont accept Health First Colorado (Medicaid)?

Not according to CDPHE. MorningStar of Longmont 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.

The waiver pays for personal care in an ACF, not room and board. See how the HCBS-EBD waiver works.

Does MorningStar of Longmont offer memory care?

CDPHE's public data does not say whether MorningStar of Longmont 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.

Compare residences the registry identifies as memory care in the Denver memory care directory.

How much does assisted living cost near MorningStar of Longmont?

CDPHE does not publish prices, and we do not list a price for MorningStar of Longmont. 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 Denver-metro assisted living costs.
