Most of the visits were complaint inspections and revisits, which CDPHE makes after a complaint is filed and again to confirm fixes.

For context, the median among the 38 large metro communities we profile is 16 citations over the same window, so Woodlake Legacy 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 Woodlake Legacy Senior Living reported to CDPHE?

Woodlake Legacy Senior Living filed 47 occurrence reports with CDPHE between 2023 and 2026, about 36 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 29, 2026: Sexual Abuse
• Jun 24, 2026: Verbal Abuse
• Jun 19, 2026: Physical Abuse
• Jun 1, 2026: Misappropriation of Property
• May 28, 2026: Neglect

That rate is above 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 Woodlake Legacy Senior Living compared with other assisted living in Lakewood?

Woodlake Legacy Senior Living is licensed for 131 beds, more than 93% of the 421 active assisted living residences in the seven-county Denver metro, where the median is 12 beds. It is the No. 5 by size 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. 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 Woodlake Legacy Senior Living accept Health First Colorado (Medicaid)?

Not according to CDPHE. Woodlake Legacy 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.

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

Does Woodlake Legacy Senior Living offer memory care?

CDPHE's public data does not say whether Woodlake Legacy 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.

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

How much does assisted living cost near Woodlake Legacy Senior Living?

CDPHE does not publish prices, and we do not list a price for Woodlake Legacy 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 Woodlake Legacy Senior Living before choosing it?

Start with the public record, then visit twice. For Woodlake Legacy Senior Living specifically, ask for the statement of deficiencies from its most-cited inspection and the plan of correction, and ask how it supervises residents at risk of wandering or falls.

Visit at different times of day. Ask to see the care-plan review schedule, and talk with a resident's family member in the lobby if you can. You can also call the Colorado Long-Term Care Ombudsman (303-862-3524) about any residence.

What should you ask on a tour of Woodlake Legacy Senior Living?

Bring questions the CDPHE record can't answer: night staffing, how Woodlake Legacy Senior Living 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?
