Fort Collins, Colorado, began as an encampment designed to protect a mail route. In 1864, the U.S. Army established an outpost that has since become this bustling university city of over 168,000 people. The senior citizen community, however, is rather small at 10.9% of the population, compared to a national average of 16.8%. Fort Collins residents appreciate the city’s mountain views but the cost of living in this locale is rather high, above the national average but slightly below the Colorado state average. The UCHealth Pourdre Valley Hospital provides medical care to the city and surrounding areas with emergency care, orthopedics, cardiac and vascular care, as well as a sleep lab among its specialties.
Health care costs in Fort Collins are a bit lower than the national average. Seniors who need home care will pay about $6,101 per month, according to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey. This includes help with daily living activities and housekeeping, but not the medical aide offered by home health care.
