Pueblo is Colorado’s most affordable city for assisted living. Although no city is nearly as inexpensive, some get closer in costs than others, such as Grand Junction ($4,250) and Colorado Springs ($4,663). However, the cost gap between Pueblo and some cities is so wide it can result in significant financial costs when calculated annually. For example, Denver’s median fee is $5,500 (an annual difference of $20,400), and Boulder’s is $6,275 (an annual difference of $29,700).

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 Pueblo and 22 other cities in Colorado.
Eligible seniors can apply to Health First Colorado, the state Medicaid plan. This plan covers costs for assisted living and also provides waivers for seniors. Three non-state funded programs are also available to qualified individuals.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted 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:
