The operators of an unlicensed “luxury” assisted living facility in Aurora are accused of tying an at-risk adult to a wheelchair using a harness and zip tie, neglecting the residents in their care and lying to public officials, according to an indictment from an Arapahoe County grand jury.

James Russell Vogel, 69, and Angelica Vogel, 59, are charged with false imprisonment of an at-risk adult and two counts of attempting to influence a public servant, all felonies, and three counts of misdemeanor caretaker neglect, according to court records.
The Vogels ran All Saints Home Care out of their home at 6512 S. Lisbon Court, which an archived version of the facility’s since-wiped website describes as “luxury assisted living and memory care for Alzheimer’s & dementia in Aurora and Centennial… Compassionate senior living you can trust.”
According to the indictment, the Vogels “mistreated, neglected and restrained elderly residents in their care” and gave false information to officials from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and Arapahoe County Adult Protective Services, hindering the investigation.
On Nov. 18, 2025, a 69-year-old woman living at the facility was left alone long enough that she climbed through a second-story window and became stranded on the roof with her legs dangling over the edge. The incident was recorded on an Arapahoe County deputy’s body-worn camera and shared on the sheriff’s office’s Facebook page.
A person connected to the woman learned about the incident after it was shared on social media and went to the house on Nov. 22, 2025. When no one answered the door, they went around back and saw her restrained in a wheelchair, upset and crying, according to the indictment.
The woman was “tied into the wheelchair by a harness which appeared to be secured by a zip tie,” and the person was able to get into the house through an unlocked sliding glass door, free the woman and remove her from the home.

In another incident, a man’s family removed him from All Saints in February after they were contacted by Adult Protective Services about concerns at the facility.
The man’s family took him to the hospital, and a forensic nurse examination found he had bruises on his chest, arms and other parts of his body; was wearing multiple diapers; had dried feces on him; and was extremely thin.
When the family picked up a bag of the man’s medications from the Angelica Vogel, they found prescriptions for other residents mixed in and one container with different pills than what was on the label.
The sheriff’s office first posted about the investigation on Saturday.
“As part of the investigation, on July 17, several residents were relocated from the home and are receiving care elsewhere while the investigation continues,” sheriff’s officials wrote in a news release. “Investigators are working to identify individuals who may have received concerning care at the facility.”

The Vogels did not respond to an email seeking comment about the case. They were both released from jail on $75,000 bail and are set to appear in court on Sept. 14, court records show.
