60 Nursing Homes Near Denver, CO
Denver is the capital city of Colorado and features some beautiful examples of early 19th-century architecture. The city has a population of about 720,000, and 11.5% of residents are over the age of 65. Seniors in Denver have access to excellent medical care facilities at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, which is nationally ranked in nine different procedures and rated as high-performing in geriatrics by US News.
Nursing home care focuses on assisting seniors who require around-the-clock medical care and supervision. This type of care is often the most expensive care option available due to the number of qualified staff required. According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020, the average monthly cost of nursing home care in Denver is $9,064 for a semiprivate room. Family members may want to look at alternative care options such as assisted living and home care if nursing home care isn’t required.
This guide looks at care costs in Denver and surrounding cities as well as resources that may be of interest to seniors in the Denver area.

Little Sisters of the Poor care facility is run by Catholic Charities. It is a medium sized nursing home. There is another wing for just assisted living with apartments. It is as the name indicates for the poor and is extremely hard to get into as there is a waiting list. There are 19 little sisters that admiminister the facility and there are also registered nurses on each floor and only 5 residents per CNA so the care is exceptional. The amenities include two different style dining rooms, several activity rooms and exercise and recreational areas. The staff is paid at an above average rate and they are able to retain long time employees, some for over 20 years. The food is excellent and always varied. There is a ton of daily activities to keep everyone busy and healthy in mind, body and spirit. There is a chapel on sight with mass everyday at 11. Public transportation runs a regular bus through the facility and there are also outings in the van provided by the home. It is an exceptional example of what a long care facility should be, extra clean, no funny smells and warm and inviting!

This facility is horrible. My sister went in over a year ago with a broken wrist and over the course of Covid and that time period, she became wheelchair dependent and wears a diaper around the clock. There were a total of 2 care conferences the entire time she was there and I found it extremely hard and frustrating to be able to speak with someone in charge, ie a social worker, DON, or administrator. Last week, with restrictions lifted I was able to get my sister moved from Manor Care. She had developed a severe infection from cellulitis and decubitus ulcers in both legs as well as severe, severe anemia due to blood loss from a fall at the facility. She was extremely ill and spent 2 weeks in Rose Hospital ICU. The Wound Care specialists at Rose told me they had seen many cases of neglect , like this, coming from Manor Care!! This place has NO compassion or kindness for its residents. It’s tragic. PLEASE, don’t let YOUR loved one become another tragedy coming from Manor Care!

Management is completely incompetent, which leads to staffing issues and inept staff (not all, but by far the majority). The rooms are small. The facility is not kept clean. My dad’s call light would go unanswered for significant amounts of time. Communication between shifts was non-existent. Some employees would just leave without passing any pertinent information along to the next shift. My dad rarely got his showers. Laundry continually lost his things. CNAs would dress him in dirty clothes from the day before despite a closet full of clean items. Many times nurses had to be prodded by family to actually tend to my dad’s medical needs. My dad actually went significantly downhill at Hallmark, physically and mentally.
The only thing positive about the facility was a few of the activities they hosted that were enjoyed by my dad.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Denver, CO
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
