A comprehensive strategy that includes public benefits, private funds, veterans’ benefits and insurance ensures the long-term financial sustainability of assisted living for seniors in Denver. The options below help seniors pay monthly fees related to housing, personal care services, meals and recreation.
Health First Colorado (the state Medicaid program) provides many waiver programs, although most don't apply to assisted living. The Elderly, Blind or Disabled waiver (EBD) may provide benefits to eligible residents. Assisted living facilities must accept Medicaid to qualify for any waiver; these Medicaid facilities are sometimes referred to as Alternative Care Facilities (ACFs). Colorado's PEAK system can also be used to find out which other nonmedical benefits may apply.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Colorado page.
