Boulder County, Colo.The State of Colorado Health Facilities and Emergency Medical Services Division is working closely with the families of residents.

The Timberline Lodge will remain open and serving their clients until family members have the opportunity to find appropriate living arrangements. The staff of the Timberline Lodge is working closely with this State agency and continues to provide care for their clients. It is always preferable to have clients remain in the facility where they live and have become accustom to residing, as long as they are safe. The investigation has not uncovered any situations where the clients were at physical risk. Boulder County Sheriff's Office case number 15-4820.
