How much does memory care cost in Colorado Springs, CO?

In Colorado Springs, Colorado, the average cost of memory care is $5,296 per month, based on A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.^[01] This figure represents the starting base rent for memory care facilities in Colorado Springs and may vary depending on the amenities and services you choose. Factors such as required care needs, the size of the room, additional services desired, and the location within the greater Colorado Springs area can also influence the total cost.

The average monthly cost of memory care in Colorado Springs is slightly higher than the national average of $5,057, and slightly less than Colorado’s average cost of $5,559 per month.^[01] According to the Economic Research Institute, the overall cost of living in Colorado Springs 12% higher than the national average.^[02]

When compared with other senior living options in Colorado Springs, the average starting cost of memory care is normally the most expensive because it includes specialized support, increased supervision, and hands-on personal care for individuals living with dementia. Assisted living ($5,241 per month) and independent living ($4,202 per month) don’t provide this same level of specialized care, which is why their costs are most often lower.

How to pay for memory care in Colorado Springs

Families in Colorado Springs often pay for memory care using a combination of private and public funding sources. These may include personal savings, long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, proceeds from a home sale, and Colorado’s Medicaid program, Health First Colorado, if your loved one qualifies.

Health saving accounts
Proceeds from selling a home or other real estate
Proceeds from a reverse mortgage
Pension payments
Certain kinds of life insurance policies
Retirement account distributions (e.g., 401k, 401a and 403b, Roth, and others)

Family members may also contribute to help cover monthly costs in some cases.

VA benefits

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides programs that offer monthly financial support to eligible veterans and their surviving spouses. Certain VA benefits can help ease the cost of care and make memory care more affordable for your loved one.

For example, income from the following may be used to cover memory care costs:

Veterans Pension or Survivors Pension

To help avoid delays or missed benefits, gather important paperwork early and consider speaking with a VA benefits counselor. They can walk you through the application process and help your family access the support your veteran has earned.

Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps people with limited income pay for health care and long-term care. In Colorado, Medicaid is known as Health First Colorado (HFC).

While HFC does not cover memory care room and board, it may help pay for certain health and personal care services your loved one needs through its Long-Term Services and Supports programs, which include:^[04]

The Community First Choice program^[05]
The Elderly, Blind, and Disabled waiver^[06]

Community First Choice is an entitlement program, which means eligible residents are guaranteed access to covered services. The Aged and Disabled waiver, on the other hand, has limited funding, so even if your loved one qualifies, they may be placed on a wait list before services become available.

Services covered by these programs may include:

Physical or speech therapy
Help with activities of daily living
Home health care
Meal or food delivery
Housekeeping

Eligibility for these Health First Colorado benefits, including specific programs and waivers, is based on medical need as well as income and asset limits.

Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for adults age 65 and older, as well as younger individuals with certain disabilities or conditions, such as ALS or end-stage renal disease.

Because Medicare is health insurance, it does not pay for memory care room and board However, it may help cover medically necessary services and supplies your loved one needs, including doctor visits, hospital stays, prescription medications, and durable medical equipment.^[07]

What is memory care like in Colorado Springs?

Memory care communities in Colorado Springs are designed to provide a safe, supportive setting for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. Thoughtfully planned layouts, secure spaces, enriching activities, and specialized therapies help your loved one feel comfortable and at ease. In this section, you’ll find an overview of common features and amenities in Colorado Springs memory care communities, so you know what to expect and can feel confident exploring your options.

Memory care options in Colorado Springs

In Colorado Springs, you’ll find several types of memory care settings to meet different needs and preferences. These typically include assisted living communities with dedicated memory care neighborhoods, continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), and smaller residential care homes.

Assisted living communities with memory care. In Colorado, many assisted living residences include secure memory care neighborhoods. This allows your loved one to receive specialized dementia support while remaining in a familiar community, especially if their needs change over time.
Continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). While less common than stand-alone assisted living communities, CCRCs in the Colorado Springs area offer a continuum of care from independent living to assisted living, memory care, and sometimes skilled nursing, often with an entrance fee and contract structure.
Adult foster care homes. Also known as board and care homes, these smaller settings provide 24-hour support in a more intimate, home-like environment with fewer residents.

Memory care communities in Colorado Springs are designed to create a secure and comforting environment for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. You’ll typically find thoughtfully designed layouts that reduce confusion, secured entrances and exits, and staff trained to respond to common dementia-related behaviors such as wandering, restlessness, and disorientation.^[01] Many communities have 24-hour awake staff and may use safety features like monitored entry systems or emergency response systems to help protect residents.

Beyond safety, these communities focus on helping your loved one stay engaged and connected. Activity directors plan structured programs that may include brain games, music, gentle exercise, outings, and holiday celebrations. Some communities also incorporate sensory-based therapies, such as aromatherapy or pet therapy, to support emotional well-being.

Care teams tailor support to each resident’s history, preferences, and abilities, creating a setting that feels personal and respectful. While rooms are often furnished for safety and simplicity, you’re usually encouraged to add familiar photos, blankets, and meaningful items to help your loved one feel more at home.

Personalized physical care

Consistency can make a meaningful difference for people living with dementia. A predictable routine and familiar caregivers often help reduce confusion and anxiety. That’s why many memory care communities use consistent staffing assignments, so the same team members regularly care for your loved one and build trusted, person-centered relationships.

Through these ongoing partnerships, communities commonly provide services such as:

Incontinence care
Medication management
Diabetic care
Ambulatory care

Families often share positive feedback about these close care relationships, noting the compassion, patience, and warmth staff bring to daily support, including always “bringing out a smile” and generous hugs and smiles for their loved ones in memory care.
