Less than an hour’s drive from Boulder and Denver, Longmont is a city in northern Colorado. The city is home to 97,261 people, with seniors aged 65 and older accounting for 14.5% of its total population. Longmont’s robust network of healthcare facilities includes Longmont United Hospital and UCHealth Longs Peak, which has been recognized for its proficiency in treating orthopedic and neurological issues.
In Longmont’s nursing homes, seniors receive 24-hour medical supervision and assistance with daily living activities, wound care, intravenous therapy and diabetes management. Physicians and registered nurses are available on-site, and many facilities also offer physical therapy and other rehabilitative services. Considering that Longmont’s median cost of nursing home care is higher than the state and national averages, seniors with less serious medical conditions may want to consider home care or assisted living.
In this guide, we’ll cover the costs of senior care in Longmont and provide an overview of resources that seniors who need a nursing facility level of care may find helpful. Among the resources are programs that may pay for nursing home care, help reduce common expenses and enable seniors to delay nursing home placement with in-home support.

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.
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.
There are several programs in Longmont that can help with seniors’ nutritional needs, pay for nursing home care, provide in-home support to help delay nursing home placement and connect seniors with individuals who can help them resolve problems in their nursing facilities.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Boulder County Area Agency on Aging | (303) 441-3570 | The BCAAA manages a variety of programs that promote healthy aging, including dedicated services for veterans and older members of the LGBT community. Its community living programs provide a range of services to help seniors remain in their homes, instead of transitioning into a long-term care facility. Assistance with chores, homemaker services, legal help and transportation are some of the services available through the BCAAA and its partner organizations. |
| Long Term Care Ombudsman Program | (303) 441-1173 | The Long Term Care Ombudsman Program helps seniors find long-term care facilities that meet their needs, and it advocates for their rights when they become residents. This free program emphasizes confidentiality between seniors and its volunteers, but with permission, an ombudsman will step in to investigate seniors’ concerns about a nursing facility’s quality of care and other complaints. |
| Boulder County Human Services Department | (303) 441-1000 | Through the county’s Human Services Department, seniors can apply for Health First Colorado, the state’s Medicaid program, which can help low-income seniors pay for nursing home care. The agency’s workers can also guide seniors through the steps to apply for a Medicare Savings Program and private health insurance. |
| Meals on Wheels | (303) 772-0540 | Seniors enrolled in the Meals on Wheels program receive hot, nutritionally well-balanced meals delivered to their homes, enabling older adults with limited mobility to maintain their health and cut down on food expenses. Applicants must be aged 60 or older, and meals are priced on a sliding scale dependent on income. |
