Assisted living offers seniors a balance of homelike comforts and independence with around-the-clock access to the extra care they may need. Older adults who can no longer live in their own homes safely can benefit from on-site assistance while still enjoying private apartments, regular activities, social opportunities and excursions. While total care costs can vary by facility, the median cost of assisted living in Lakewood, CO, is $5,500—slightly higher than the median costs for Colorado and the United States as a whole.
This guide is designed to inform seniors about assisted living options and costs, helping them to compare alternatives within the Lakewood and broader Colorado areas. A list of resources, including agencies and programs that serve seniors, is also included.
