Authorities investigate assisted living facility in Arapahoe County
Authorities in Arapahoe County are investigating an assisted living facility after the sheriff’s office and district attorney opened a probe into possible safety or regulatory concerns. No details of the investigation have been released yet.
Medicare news moved markets and informed beneficiaries this week. CareDx’s shares rose nearly 40% after the agency clarified payment limits for its transplant‑related test, while officials reminded seniors that the shingles vaccine is covered at no out‑of‑pocket cost. Medicare also continues to support telehealth visits, letting older adults see doctors from home. Separately, a report showed that over one‑quarter of nursing homes had a serious deficiency in 2026, with a small share tied to infection control and actual patient harm.
In housing news, Wellpointe announced plans for a $2 billion affordable seniors‑housing campus in Los Angeles, while another project will redevelop Maryland’s Springvale Terrace. Memory‑care providers also highlighted community engagement, with a facility in Billings Heights breaking ground, events scheduled in Grayslake, and programs in Redmond stressing family involvement and transparent pricing.
