What does The Pearl at Boulder Creek's CDPHE inspection record show?

CDPHE's record for The Pearl at Boulder Creek shows 4 inspections and 4 citations between 2023 and 2025. The most recent re-licensure inspection listed is dated Jul 8, 2025. A citation is a written finding that a specific Chapter 7 rule was not met on the day of the visit.

Most recent inspections in CDPHE's list:

• Sep 24, 2025: Revisit: CHOW and Licensure (Re-licensure) (Combined) (inspection 1PR212)
• Jul 8, 2025: CHOW and Licensure (Re-licensure) (Combined) (inspection 1PR211)
• May 15, 2023: Revisit: Licensure (Re-licensure) (inspection 4VOE13)
• May 15, 2023: Revisit: Licensure Complaint (inspection EG5E12)

The list includes a change of ownership (CHOW) inspection. When a building changes hands, ask what changed in staffing, pricing and the care-level fee schedule, and whether existing residency agreements carried over.

That is fewer citations than the median (16) among the 38 large metro communities we profile. A short list is a good sign, but it is a three-year snapshot, not a guarantee; ask what the residence changed after its most recent survey.

What incidents has The Pearl at Boulder Creek reported to CDPHE?

The Pearl at Boulder Creek filed 9 occurrence reports with CDPHE between 2024 and 2026, about 7 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:

• Apr 24, 2026: Misappropriation of Property
• Nov 16, 2025: Physical Abuse
• Jun 13, 2025: Misappropriation of Property
• Mar 2, 2025: Misappropriation of Property
• Jan 17, 2025: Diverted Drugs

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 Pearl at Boulder Creek compared with other assisted living in Boulder?

The Pearl at Boulder Creek is licensed for 135 beds, more than 94% 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 8 CDPHE-licensed ALRs with a Boulder address.

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 Pearl at Boulder Creek accept Health First Colorado (Medicaid)?

Not according to CDPHE. The Pearl at Boulder Creek 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.

Does The Pearl at Boulder Creek offer memory care?

CDPHE's public data does not say whether The Pearl at Boulder Creek 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.

Read the rule itself: Chapter 7, Part 25 (Secure Environment).
