READ MOREDenver is a small unincorporated community in Lincoln County with a population of about 3,260, which includes about 550 residents aged 65 or older. It was formerly known as Dry Pond, but it’s not dry any more, thanks to Lake Norman, the largest man-made body of freshwater in the state. Denver sits on the west side of the lake, which offers a tranquil setting for a relaxing day of fishing or birdwatching for seniors who enjoy outdoor activities. Although it’s a small community, Denver still boasts numerous everyday conveniences, and it’s less than 30 minutes from Charlotte for seniors seeking big-city amenities.
Assisted living provides a safe residential setting for seniors who need some personalized supportive care but wish to remain as independent as possible. The average cost of assisted living in Denver is $4,000 per month, which is slightly higher than the state average but still lower than the national average.
This guide provides a wealth of assisted living information for seniors in Denver, including some benefits and drawbacks of retiring in Denver. It also offers cost comparisons of other types of senior care and how Denver’s assisted living cost stacks up against other North Carolina cities.
