When trying to decide how to pay for assisted living, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living. To help shed light on real senior living prices, Caring.com has compiled proprietary cost data from its network of more than 75,000 senior living providers to provide insight into the average cost of assisted living in Denver and 22 other cities in Colorado.
Health First Colorado (the state Medicaid program) provides many waiver programs, although most don't apply to assisted living. The Elderly, Blind or Disabled waiver (EBD) may provide benefits to eligible residents. Assisted living facilities must accept Medicaid to qualify for any waiver; these Medicaid facilities are sometimes referred to as Alternative Care Facilities (ACFs). Colorado's PEAK system can also be used to find out which other nonmedical benefits may apply.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Colorado page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
For more information about different ways to finance assisted living, visit our Assisted Living in Colorado page.
