Elder group home indictment includes incident with bound resident, person hanging from roof
AURORA | Sheriff investigators and county health officials say a couple who ran an unlicensed group home to care for elderly people neglected and endangered residents and purposely misled officials about the care of residents.
James and Angelica Vogel, who own and operate All Saints Home Care, 6512 S. Lisbon Ct., were indicted earlier this month on a host of charges alleging abuse and mistreatment of elderly people in their care.
Sheriff investigators are asking for the public’s help identifying other potential mistreatment victims as they investigate the Arapahoe County home-care facility where several residents were relocated from last week.
“On July 17, several residents were relocated from the home and are receiving care elsewhere while the investigation continues,” county spokesperson Anders Nelson said in a statement. “Investigators are working to identify individuals who may have received concerning care at the facility.”
On Nov. 18, 2025, an apparently unsupervised resident climbed through an open second-story window of the house and was stranded there, above the garage, according to sheriff department and social services officials, as recorded in the court affidavit and grand jury indictment records.
The person, whose name, sex and age were redacted from the records, “slipped down the roof and part of (their) body was over the roof edge,” according to police.
A neighbor saw the person hanging from the roof and called 911.
The neighbor ran to the home and helped the person stabilize on the roof until rescuers arrived, who pulled the person back through the window and into the house.
Two days later, a family member of the person who got onto the roof saw a video posted on social media of the rescue and went immediately to All Saints.
“When (they) arrived, no-one answered the front door,” according to the affidavit. The family member went to the back of the house and could see their relative tied with zip ties and a harness to a wheelchair inside the home, alone and crying.
A sliding back door was open and the person went into the house and cut the family member free.
Neither James nor Angela Vogel were home at the time, investigators said, and another care worker at the house “appeared to be dealing with other residents.”
Other incidents include an inspection by county health officials in February that revealed a resident with bruises on their chest, arms and other areas of the body and was “extremely thin.”
The county agents contacted the family of the resident, who came to the house to remove that person from the Vogels’ care.
The person was taken to a nearby hospital “wearing multiple diapers and had dried feces…and dried tape on (their backside),” a blackened toenail and an apparent sore on their hip, in addition to numerous skin irritations. When the family member removed the person from the Vogels’ house, Angelica Vogel gave them a bag with their family member’s medications.
Arapahoe County Sheriff investigators determined that the bag contained bottles of other residents’ medications mixed with the person’s meds who was removed from the home.
“At least one container with pills that did not match prescriptions listed on the label,” the affidavit says.
Records revealed that the resident had missed primary care medical exams that were supposed to have taken place.
During another inspection, the county official surmised that Angelica Vogel had hit a careworker with a broom, creating a “commotion” at the home. The county official observed that some residents were sleeping on air mattresses in a hallway.
It’s unclear how many residents were inside the home at any one time, however, county officials said both the Vogels lived in the home.
One of the indictment charges is linked to a report where county officials were trying to glean information about a resident living there and were told that person had left the home. While the agents were driving away, family members of the resident who had supposedly left the home, came to the house. The agents called deputies to accompany them back inside and determine if the person was inside the house “contrary to what they had been told by the Vogels.”
Both Vogels face two counts of attempting to influence a public servant, one count of false imprisonment of an at-risk adult and three counts of caretaker neglect.
District attorney officials said they’re continuing to investigate the case and will release further details in the future as it moves through the courts.
“Our office is committed to ensuring that vulnerable members of our community, including at-risk seniors, are protected,” Padden said in a statement.
Anyone with information about these or other potential cases is asked to call sheriff investigator Robyn Abrams at 720-874-4043.
