Thornton is a welcoming city in the Denver metro area, giving residents access to some of the best doctors and hospitals in the state. Over three dozen hospitals are within range of the city, and North Suburban Medical Center is located within the city proper. Health care costs are a little below national norms, and while there are only 63 doctors per capita, nursing homes have licensed health care professionals on staff who provide ongoing medical care.
Nursing homes are ideal for older adults who need full assistance with most daily living activities, along with around-the-clock medical care and supervision. These residential facilities offer private and semiprivate housing, meals and recreational activities. They're staffed with doctors and nurses who administer specialized services, such as wound care, medication monitoring and administration and rehabilitative therapies, providing the highest level of care outside of a hospital. At $8,669 per month, Thornton is a relatively expensive place to obtain this level of care. Seniors who need less extensive services may be good candidates for assisted living or home care.
This guide provides a detailed look at nursing home rates in Thornton. It also includes information about ways to pay for local services.

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren't available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about local financial assistance programs for seniors.
