What Does Assisted Living Cost in Colorado? (and What’s Included)

Cost of Assisted Living in Colorado - Harmony Senior Referrals

Wondering what assisted living actually costs in Colorado? You’re not alone. Families often come to us feeling overwhelmed—not just by the financial side, but by the sheer number of unknowns. What will be included? Are there hidden fees? Can we afford this?

Let’s break it down simply.

Most assisted living communities in Colorado charge monthly fees ranging from $4,000 to $7,000. This usually covers:

  • A private or shared apartment
  • Three meals a day and snacks
  • Housekeeping and laundry
  • Personal care (like help with bathing or dressing)
  • Social activities and outings
  • 24/7 staff availability

But not everything is always included. Common additional costs may include:

  • Medication management
  • Incontinence care
  • Transportation to doctor’s appointments
  • Upgraded apartment sizes or views

Some communities use a “levels of care” pricing model, meaning your rate increases as your loved one needs more help. Others offer all-inclusive pricing, which can be simpler but more expensive upfront.

Here’s where it gets personal—because every family’s story is different.

At Harmony Senior Referrals, we help you navigate this complexity by finding the intersection of three critical things: your loved one’s healthcare needs, your financial realities, and your preferred location. That means we don’t just hand you a list—we walk beside you to understand what your parent truly needs, what your family can realistically afford, and which communities feel like home.

Some families prioritize memory care in a quiet suburb. Others need a place with high medical support and quick access from Boulder or Denver and beyond. Some are working with tight budgets but need specific services. No matter the situation, we use our deep local knowledge to match you with a community that fits—not just today, but long term.

Whether you’re just starting to explore or feeling pressure to decide fast, you’re not alone. We’ve been there—and we’ll walk this journey with you, every step of the way. That’s what we mean when we say: you don’t have to do this alone.
