How much does assisted living cost in Colorado Springs, CO?

In Colorado Springs, the average cost of assisted living is $5,824 per month, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.[01] This amount typically includes housing, meals, and basic care services. Costs may vary based on your loved one’s individual care needs, the community’s location, apartment size and layout, and the amenities or level of support provided.

In Colorado Springs, the average monthly cost of assisted living is similar to the Colorado statewide average of $6,474 and slightly higher than the national average of $5,830, a reflection of the city’s overall cost of living, which is about 12% above the national average, according to the Economic Research Institute.[02] These figures help families understand what to expect as they begin comparing local communities and planning for long-term care.

Assisted living in Colorado Springs typically costs more than independent living, which averages about $3,804 per month, but is slightly more affordable than memory care, which averages around $7,159 per month. These differences reflect the increasing level of support offered in each setting, and your parent’s monthly expenses may rise if they need additional hands-on assistance, health oversight, or specialized services to ensure their comfort, safety, and well-being.

How to pay for assisted living in Colorado Springs

Many families in Colorado Springs cover the cost of assisted living through a combination of personal resources, long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, and Colorado Medicaid programs. By combining these private and public resources, families can make quality care more affordable while ensuring their loved one receives the support and stability they need.

Private pay options

Families often use a combination of personal income and assets to help pay assisted living expenses. Common sources include:

VA benefits

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides several programs that can help eligible veterans and surviving spouses pay for assisted living. These benefits can significantly reduce monthly care costs and offer meaningful financial support for long-term care needs. Common programs include:

  • Veterans Pension
  • Aid and Attendance
  • Disability Compensation
  • Survivors Pension (for eligible surviving spouses)
  • Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC)

Because VA benefits require detailed applications and strict eligibility documentation, navigating the process carefully is important. Working with a VA-accredited benefits counselor can simplify the experience, help avoid delays, and ensure your loved one receives the full support they’ve earned through their service.

Resources for veterans in Colorado Springs

For the over 52,000 veterans living in Colorado Springs,[03] the following organizations provide support, advocacy, and advice.

 Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps eligible seniors pay for certain health and long-term care services. Health First Colorado, the state’s Medicaid program, covers personal care services for eligible residents who live in assisted living communities 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, meaning that services provided to any eligible resident will be covered. The Aged and Disabled waiver, however, is not an entitlement, so funding is limited and your loved one may be placed on a wait list.

Services covered by these programs may include:

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

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

Medicaid resources in Colorado Springs, CO

To apply for Health First Colorado, elderly residents in Colorado Springs can:

If you have questions about Colorado’s Medicaid program, or if you need help completing, updating, or checking the status of an application, visit:

Medicare

Medicare provides health insurance for adults 65 and older, as well as for younger individuals with certain qualifying medical conditions.[07] Although Medicare won’t cover the monthly rent for assisted living, it can help lower overall medical costs by paying for prescriptions, durable medical equipment, and other approved health services your loved one may need.
