Two operators of an unlicensed Arapahoe County, Colorado, assisted living facility have been indicted on caretaker neglect charges after a grand jury heard evidence that residents were left unsupervised, restrained, and, in one case, removed from the home malnourished and bruised, according to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office announced that a grand jury indicted James Russell Vogel and Angelica Vogel, operators of All Saints Home Care, on two counts of attempt to influence a public servant, one count of false imprisonment of an at-risk adult, and three counts of caretaker neglect. According to an arrest affidavit cited in the reporting, All Saints Home Care is an unlicensed care facility offering assisted living and memory care to older adults out of a private home where the Vogels lived and served as primary caregivers.
The affidavit describes an incident on November 18, 2025, in which a resident was left unsupervised long enough to climb through a second-story window and become stranded on the roof, where a neighbor spotted her and called 911. Four days later, a family member who came to the home reportedly found the same resident alone and restrained in a wheelchair, secured by a harness fastened with a zip tie, and cut her free. In a separate incident, the affidavit states, another resident was removed by his family and taken to a hospital, where a forensic nurse examination found bruises on his chest and arms, that he was “extremely thin,” and that he showed other signs of neglect. Investigators also reported that the operators repeatedly attempted to mislead an adult protective services caseworker and state health officials about whether certain residents still lived at the facility.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office said several residents were relocated from the facility as part of the investigation and are now receiving care elsewhere, and that investigators are working to identify others who may have received “concerning care.”
This case highlights the particular risks that can arise in small, unlicensed care settings operating outside the routine oversight that licensed facilities face. Charges of caretaker neglect and false imprisonment of an at-risk adult reflect allegations that go to the core of a caregiver’s legal duty: to supervise, protect, and provide for vulnerable residents. The alleged efforts to mislead a protective-services caseworker and state health inspectors underscore how oversight can be evaded when a facility operates without a license, and how families and outside agencies often become the last line of defense for at-risk adults.
When an older adult is restrained, left unsupervised, or found malnourished, those are not lapses in customer service; they are potential violations of the fundamental duty of care owed to every vulnerable resident. Unlicensed and memory-care settings can be especially dangerous precisely because the residents may be unable to report what is happening to them, leaving families to discover the harm only after it has occurred.
