When trying to decide how to pay for assisted living, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living. To help shed light on real senior living prices, Caring.com has compiled proprietary cost data from its network of more than 75,000 senior living providers to provide insight into the average cost of assisted living in Aurora and 22 other cities in Colorado.
While the state of Colorado offers several assistance programs aimed at helping seniors who are not living in care facilities, there are no programs in the state beyond the standard national programs like SSDI or Medicare Part D.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on ourAssisted Living in Colorado page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
For more information about different ways to finance assisted living, visit our Assisted Living in Colorado page.
The impacts of inflation can be seen in many areas, including in the rising costs of senior care. Assisted living costs in Aurora have been on the rise, increasing by over 9% between 2022 and 2023 ($4,577 to $5,014). By 2024, it's estimated that costs will be as high as $5,400. As these rates are above the state median ($4,630), seniors will have to plan their budgets accordingly.
However, residents in Aurora who require assisted living services will still pay less in 2023 than they would in Colorado Springs ($5,142) or Fort Collins ($5,239).
| Location | 2022 Cost (Historical) | 2023 Cost (Current) | 2024 Cost (Estimated) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aurora | $4,577 | $5,014 | $5,400 |
| U.S. Average | $4,070 | $4,459 | $4,802 |
| Colorado | $4,392 | $4,630 | $5,063 |
| Denver | $3,304 | $3,620 | $3,898 |
| Fort Collins | $4,782 | $5,239 | $5,642 |
| Colorado Springs | $4,693 | $5,142 | $5,538 |
Different types of senior living can include different types of services, amenities, accommodations and programming. Therefore, they typically involve different costs. For instance, memory care costs ($7,139) are about 35% higher than assisted living costs ($5,014), as memory care tends to include a higher level of care and specialized services. Alternatively, independent living, which focuses more on amenities and social lifestyles than care services, comes with much lower rates, at $3,153.
