Is The Argyle in Denver licensed by the State of Colorado?

Yes. The Argyle holds an active Assisted Living Residence license from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Facility ID 230464, for 140 resident beds at 4115 W 38th Ave, Denver, CO 80212. 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 THE LADIES RELIEF SOCIETY OF DENVER. 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 does The Argyle's CDPHE inspection record show?

CDPHE's record for The Argyle shows 18 inspections and 30 citations between 2023 and 2026. Most of the visits were complaint inspections and revisits, which CDPHE makes after a complaint is filed and again to confirm fixes.

Recent inspections, newest first:

• Sep 8, 2026: Revisit: Licensure Complaint (inspection 0XGY12)
• Sep 8, 2026: Licensure Complaint (inspection 43KC11)
• Sep 8, 2026: Revisit: Licensure Complaint (inspection BTUE12)

• Feb 4, 2026: Revisit: Licensure Complaint (inspection QW5K12)
• Feb 4, 2026: Revisit: Licensure and Licensure Complaint (Combined) (inspection UMRS13)

For context, the median among the 38 large metro communities we profile is 16 citations over the same window, so The Argyle'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 The Argyle reported to CDPHE?

The Argyle filed 7 occurrence reports with CDPHE between 2023 and 2026, about 5 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:

• Apr 27, 2026: Misappropriation of Property
• Apr 1, 2026: Sexual Abuse
• May 6, 2024: Misappropriation of Property
• Nov 13, 2023: Sexual Abuse
• Oct 16, 2023: Misappropriation of Property

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 The Argyle compared with other assisted living in Denver?

The Argyle is licensed for 140 beds, more than 95% of the 421 active assisted living residences in the seven-county Denver metro, where the median is 12 beds. It is the No. 7 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. Size changes the day-to-day: a large community means more neighbors and programs, while a small home means the same few caregivers every shift.

Does The Argyle accept Health First Colorado (Medicaid)?

Not according to CDPHE. The Argyle 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 The Argyle offer memory care?

CDPHE's public data does not say whether The Argyle 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 The Argyle?

CDPHE does not publish prices, and we do not list a price for The Argyle. 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 Denver.

How should you evaluate The Argyle before choosing it?

Start with the public record, then visit twice. For The Argyle 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 The Argyle?

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

• Can I read your most recent CDPHE inspection report, including any statement of deficiencies and your plan of correction?
• 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?
