Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Home care costs in Denver are relatively high, but fortunately, seniors can obtain in-home care and supportive services through numerous nonprofit agencies and programs. The following programs and services can supplement or replace private-pay home care and help older adults reduce their monthly care costs while getting the support they need to age in place.
Resource | Contact | Service |

Senior Centers | 3-1-1 | There are 31 senior centers in Denver, providing older adults with access to social and recreational programs that may help those who live alone to avoid loneliness. These centers also serve as nutrition sites where older adults enjoy congregate meals, and many provide referrals for resources in the community. |
Area Agency on Aging | (303) 455-1000 | The Area Agency on Aging operates the Case Management/Options Counseling Program, which can help seniors find the programs and services they need to stay in their homes. It also operates the ADRC for the region, which serves as a single entry point for all state and federal benefits for seniors. |
Senior Property Tax Exemption | (720) 913-4162 | The senior property tax exemption is available to those aged 65 and over in Denver. This exemption applies to 50% of the first $200,000 of the actual value of the individual's primary residence. This program may reduce what seniors pay for housing expenses and enable some to remain in their homes. |
Meals on Wheels | (303) 297-0408 | Meals on Wheels delivers healthy, fresh meals 6 days per week to housebound seniors throughout the Denver metro. All meals are low in cholesterol and fat and provide a third of seniors' daily nutritional needs. Meals are free, but seniors are encouraged to give donations based on what they can afford. |
Energy Resource Center | (720) 236-1321 | ERC is a nonprofit construction agency that provides free energy efficiency improvements for low-income individuals in Denver. Some services the organization provides include HVAC upgrades, insulation installation and air sealing. This can improve the home’s comfort while lowering energy bills. Homeowners and renters may both qualify for this program. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
