Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Jefferson County's cost of living score is quite high. A large portion of the cost is housing, which has been rapidly rising in price throughout the area around nearby Denver. The cost of transportation is also high, while seniors benefit from costs for health, grocery and utilities which are slightly below average here.

  • Located between a mountain range and a major metropolitan area, Jefferson County has received an "F" for its air quality from the American Lung Association, which notes that the air is improving but lists a total of 48 orange ozone days, unhealthy for sensitive populations and five red ozone days, unhealthy overall. Seniors with conditions such as asthma and COPD can ask facilities about air quality measures they have taken for residents and plan to stay indoors on high-risk days.
  • The Jefferson County, Colorado area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Centura Health's St. Anthony Hospital & Medical Campus, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
