In Highlands Ranch, as in the rest of Colorado, memory care facilities are officially licensed as assisted living residences, and they’re regulated through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. This department enforces minimum requirements for housing, care planning and dementia-related services to ensure a consistent standard of care.
Note: Residential memory care is usually offered in assisted living facilities, and in general, memory care rates tend to be 20-30% higher than assisted living rates. No national database currently tracks memory care costs in the United States, so we've estimated the monthly memory care costs listed below by adding 25% to the rates listed in Genworth's 2021 Cost of Care Survey.
In Highlands Ranch, memory care communities charge $6,875 monthly for services.
On average, dementia care facilities in Highlands Ranch charge $6,875 per month for housing and care, which is 16% higher than Colorado’s norm and about 22% higher than the nationwide average. Local care costs are economical compared to rates in Boulder, where facilities charge approximately $7,844 for care, but other cities in Central Colorado typically charge lower fees. For example, in Colorado Springs, residents pay about $1,000 less for care than seniors in Highlands Ranch, and in Fort Collins, care costs are competitive at $5,000. Similarly, in Pueblo, monthly rates come in about 31% lower than in Highlands Ranch.
