Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Boulder

  • Boulder County is part of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities.

Its Foothills Hospital location provides 24-hour emergency medical care and access to expert physicians and advanced diagnostics. The hospital is designated as a Level 2 trauma center and a nationally certified primary stroke center. 
  • Boulder boasts a high number of physicians per capita, and its proximity to Denver offers seniors more advanced health care options. Denver’s UC Health University of Colorado Hospital is ranked best in the state, receiving high marks for its geriatrics department, neurology and cancer care.
  • The cost of living in Boulder is very high compared to elsewhere in the state, and it’s over 67% more than the national average. Seniors can find some budgetary relief in lower health care, utilities and transportation prices. Colorado’s low sales tax rate of 4.63% may also help ease financial concerns.
  • Boulder’s crime rate is relatively low, with most offenses falling in the category of property crimes. Local law enforcement is active throughout the city, ensuring resident safety and fostering good relations within the community.
  • Located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder is bathed in sunshine for 245 days per year but also experiences a tremendous amount of snow. The city receives considerable snow accumulation 9 months out of the year, and the arid climate produces below-average rainfall in the remaining months.
