How to Pay for Assisted Living in Colorado Springs:

Seniors in Colorado Springs rely on a mix of public and private payment solutions for assisted living expenses. These include state and federal health insurance programs, veterans’ benefits and private resources.

  • Medicaid: Colorado Medicaid administers the Elderly, Blind and Disabled Waiver, which pays for assisted living services for those who need nursing home level care. Services this waiver covers include nonmedical transportation, specialized medical equipment, housekeeping and personal care assistance.
  • Medicare: While Medicare doesn’t pay for assisted living, it can help beneficiaries cover specialized equipment and services they receive while living in a residential care community. This may include skilled nursing services, rehabilitative therapies and durable medical equipment.
  • VA Benefits: Colorado Springs veterans may receive assistance with residential care through several VA programs. The Geriatrics and Extended Care program pays for personal care services, meals and transportation, while Aid and Attendance and Housebound benefits increase veterans’ monthly pensions to help them afford living and long-term care expenses.
  • Private payments: Assisted living facilities accept personal funds for all types of expenses, including room and board, meals, transportation and personal care services. Depending on their resources, seniors may make private payments from their Social Security and pension income, proceeds from home sales, retirement savings and long-term care insurance.
