What families say about Denver communities

My Grandmother has loved Sunny Acres Villas. They keep me informed of her progress and are amazing. My Grandmother is very grateful to the staff who take care of her. She tells me every time she calls that she loves the therapy section and looks forward to her therapy sessions. Because her nurses and CNAs take the time to talk with her, she loves them. She loves the food and particularly likes her biscuits and gravy breakfasts. All the activities offered by the department have been a hit with her. Overall, I would recommend this facility to anyone who is looking for care for their loved ones.

We are thrilled with my dad's choice of Applewood Place Memory Care and Assisted Living. Although it was a difficult transition for dad, the Applewood Place staff has been amazing! Their help getting all paperwork signed and understood, as well as finding us a great bed at short notice, for taking the time to get to know dad and his circumstances so she can provide the best support. This was a huge change for us all and the Applewood Place team has been gentle and patient with us as we navigate this new path. We are grateful to Applewood Place for sharing this journey with us.

For four months, we have lived in Clermont Park, Denver. We have left a community where we were involved for over 50 years. We have been welcomed with enthusiasm and friendliness by everyone since we arrived here. People here are friendly and open-minded. The staff is wonderful, from the executive director down to the custodians. They are all friendly and willing to help. I have always loved people and worked or volunteered my whole life. I have never seen a group without someone who could be considered a sour-apple. They are all peaches. Another note. Clermont Park is stunning and well-maintained. It's a joy to be there.

Ava · Clermont Park Assisted Living · Denver

It is amazing. This place is so much better than I expected for memory care. They allow pets, have on-site nursing and serve alcohol. The staff is extremely accommodating. It's convenient and one of the most affordable options in the region. It can be stressful to move a parent into assisted living. The staff made the transition as easy and pleasant as possible.

Rules and regulations for assisted living in Denver, Colorado

Every assisted living community in Denver, Colorado is licensed and inspected by Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment — Health Facilities Division. Colorado licenses two settings: Assisted Living Residence (ALR). Some Denver-area communities hold different licence types, so ask which one a community holds when you tour. Communities must meet standards for staffing, caregiver training, medication administration, and building safety, with managers and staff completing continuing in-service training each year.

Before you tour, it's worth confirming a community's license status and inspection history. Our advisors do this as part of every Denver shortlist.

  • Assisted Living Residence (ALR)

    Colorado's standard licence — covers apartment-style residences that provide meals, personal care, and health monitoring; alternative-care facility (ACF) endorsement covers Medicaid participation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the criteria for Assisted Living in Denver?

Colorado-licensed Assisted Living communities serve seniors who need daily help with activities like bathing, dressing, medications, or meals but who don't require continuous skilled nursing. Denver communities complete a health and needs assessment before move-in to confirm they can provide the right level of care under state licensing rules.

Does Medicare pay for Assisted Living?

No. Medicare doesn't cover room, board, or daily-living help in Assisted Living communities. Denver residents can still use Medicare benefits for approved medical care they receive while living in a community — doctor visits, eligible therapies, and short-term hospital stays.

How much does Assisted Living cost per month in Denver, CO?

The median cost of assisted living in Denver is $7,449 per month, about 13% above the Colorado median of $6,584 (2025 industry cost-of-care survey data). Actual rates depend on suite size and care level. A BoomersHub advisor can confirm current pricing at specific communities, free.

Does long-term care insurance cover Assisted Living?

Most LTCI policies pay toward Assisted Living once benefit triggers are met — typically needing help with two or more daily activities, or having a cognitive impairment. Check your policy's elimination period, daily benefit amount, and lifetime maximum before comparing Denver communities.

Are Assisted Living expenses tax deductible?

The portion of Assisted Living fees attributable to medical care may qualify as an itemized medical expense when a licensed practitioner has certified the resident as chronically ill and care follows a written plan. Keep itemized statements from your Denver community and confirm with a tax professional.

Do you bring your own furniture to Assisted Living?

Usually, yes. Most Denver Assisted Living communities encourage residents to furnish their suite with their own furniture, photos, and keepsakes so the new home feels familiar from day one. Ask each community what fits the floor plan and what's included.

How do I move a parent with dementia to Assisted Living?

Start with their physician, then tour Denver communities that offer memory care or dementia-capable staffing. Keep routines and familiar belongings, plan the move for their best time of day, and coordinate the first weeks closely with staff. A local advisor can shortlist secure, well-suited Denver communities for free.

How does Assisted Living work with Social Security?

Social Security income can be applied toward Assisted Living, but on its own it rarely covers the full monthly cost. Most Denver families combine it with savings, long-term care insurance, VA benefits, or home equity to bridge the difference.

How do I choose the right Assisted Living community in Denver?

Tour at least three, ideally around a mealtime, and revisit your favorite unannounced. Check the state license and last inspection date, ask about staffing ratios on nights and weekends, and understand how the community handles medical escalation. A BoomersHub advisor can build the shortlist for free.

Does Colorado Medicaid help pay for Assisted Living in Denver?

Colorado Medicaid can help eligible lower-income seniors offset assisted living costs through the Elderly, Blind and Disabled (EBD) Waiver. The program does not pay room and board, and not every Denver community participates — confirm before you tour.
