Assisted Living in Denver, CO

Finding the right home for yourself or a loved one in the Mile High City is about more than just a beautiful view of the Rockies; it’s about finding a community that balances independence with professional, compassionate support.

Understanding Your Care Options

Not every senior needs the same level of support. In Denver, care is generally categorized into three main tiers:

  • Independent Living – Best for active seniors who want a social, maintenance-free lifestyle. Services often include housekeeping, meal plans, and organized social activities.

  • Assisted Living – Ideal for seniors who need help with 1–3 daily activities (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, or medication reminders. Services typically include medication management and personal care assistance.

  • Memory Care – Designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or advanced dementia. Care includes 24/7 supervision, secured environments, and specialized cognitive therapies.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does Colorado Medicaid pay for assisted living?

Yes, through the Health First Colorado (HCBS) waiver. However, keep in mind that Medicaid typically covers the care portion, while the resident is responsible for room and board costs.

2. How do I check a Denver facility’s inspection record?

You can view the compliance history for any licensed facility via the CDPHE Health Facilities Portal. We recommend looking for any “Standard of Care” violations within the last 24 months.

3. Are pets allowed in Denver assisted living?

Most Denver communities, including Keystone Place and Balfour, are pet-friendly. Some may have weight restrictions or require a small “pet deposit.”
