Ranked second in the state for senior living by Caring’s 2019 Senior Living Report, Longmont, Colorado is an ideal place for active aging adults to retire. The historic downtown bustles with restaurants, boutiques, galleries and historic architecture. The city is home to Longmont United Hospital which prides itself on patient-centered care with multiple locations throughout the greater Boulder area.
Due to proximity to Boulder, Longmont shares its average monthly home care cost, which Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey reports at $6,769. Home care includes nonmedical services, such as help with daily living activities. For seniors who need light medical services, such as IV or wound care, home health care is a better option.

There are many factors to consider when choosing senior care. Home care provides assistance with daily tasks, but doesn’t include the light medical care that home health care provides. The cost difference between the two is negligible. Adult day care is the most cost-effective at $4,333 per month, but doesn’t offer live-in care. For those hoping to move into a residential care community, assisted living is $500 less than in-home care while nursing home care is almost double the cost. Â

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 services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Longmont:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |

SnowBusters and YardBusters volunteers remove snow and ice and perform basic yard cleanup to help homeowners prevent falls and HOA fines. |

Safe at Home volunteers install smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, shower chairs and non-slip tread in baths, and they fix other minor issues. On Rebuilding Days, volunteers tackle larger projects in targeted neighborhoods, such as building ramps, painting and laminate flooring installation. |
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.
