Free Memory Care Resources in Golden

ResourceContactService
Alzheimer's Association: Colorado Chapter(303) 813-1669The Colorado Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association helps seniors with memory loss and their families around the state access health care services designed to uplift the lives of Coloradans living with dementia. The association also holds educational seminars and supports research and advocacy efforts around the state.

Denver Regional Council of Government - Area Agency on Aging(303) 480-6700At the DRCOG-AAA, Golden's older adults can access the services they need to age well at home or in the community. The agency manages in-home care and meal programs to help seniors remain independent at home longer, while seniors who live in facilities can reach out to the agency's ombudsman for any issues they encounter at their senior care facilities.

State Health Insurance Assistance Program(303) 480-6835When families first begin evaluating options for their loved one's long-term care, counselors with SHIP can provide free, unbiased assistance to comparing private insurance plans with Medicare and Medicaid.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Golden

Golden’s memory care communities and other senior care communities in Colorado are regulated by the state’s Department of Public Health and Environment. The department’s Health Facilities and Emergency Medical Services Division handles license issuance and certification.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Golden

  • Golden’s seniors are conveniently less than 25 miles away from the University of Colorado Alzheimer’s and Cognition Center. Located within the university’s medical school, the CUACC partners with the school’s neurology department to perform research and provide clinical care.
  • Compared to national climate averages, Golden receives 19 less inches of rain, 45 more inches of snow and 37 more sunny days per year.
  • With its cost of living at 50% above the national average, Golden can be a pricey place to live, though health care and utilities are lower than average. For older residents who qualify, the county’s Senior Property Tax Exemption could offer some financial relief.   
  • Because Golden’s water and air quality are substantially better than the country’s averages, its residents have lower risks of developing some types of cancers and respiratory illnesses.  
  • While the city has nearly as many property crimes as most places in the U.S., its violent crime rate is right about half the national average. Seniors in memory care facilities are protected by safeguards such as 24/7 attendants and secure doors, however.
  • Golden’s county, Jefferson, joined the AARP Age Friendly Network in 2019, showing its dedication to making Golden and the county’s other city’s more liveable and comfortable for older Coloradoans.

We chose it for my mother because it's brand new, no one has lived in it yet, and because of its proximity to family members. We can still go there, visit, and take care of her. The studios are...
