How much does home care cost in Aurora, Colorado?

The average cost of home care in Aurora is $37 per hour, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.[01] This hourly rate allows families to adjust care plans based on their loved one’s budget and preferences, whether that means just a few hours of help each week or round-the-clock support.

Aurora’s cost of living is about 2 % higher than the national average,[02] but seniors and their families can explore several financial assistance options to help offset care costs.

How to pay for home care in Aurora

Families in Aurora typically combine private funds, insurance, and government programs to pay for home care.

Private pay options

Common ways to privately fund home care include:

  • Retirement savings and personal income. Pensions, 401(k)s, IRAs, and Social Security benefits are often used to pay for care.
  • Long-term care insurance. Policies vary but may cover in-home services.
  • Life insurance. Some policies can be sold or converted into care benefits.
  • Home equity. Tools like a reverse mortgage or home equity loan can help generate funds for care.

Medicare

Medicare may pay for short-term home health care when it’s medically necessary and prescribed by a doctor. Covered services include:[03]

  • Skilled nursing care
  • Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
  • Certain medical supplies and durable medical equipment

Medicare won’t pay for nonmedical care — such as help with bathing or housekeeping — if that’s the only type of support needed.

For general information and assistance with Medicare, visit Medicare.gov.

Medicaid

Medicaid can be used to help pay for home care in Aurora, Colorado, making it a vital option for low-income seniors who need support to age in place.[04] In Colorado, the state’s Medicaid program — Health First Colorado — offers several Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that cover in-home care for eligible seniors. These waivers can help pay for services such as personal care, homemaker assistance, medication reminders, and health monitoring, allowing seniors to remain in their homes rather than move into a facility.

To qualify, applicants must meet income and asset requirements and demonstrate a need for a nursing-home level of care.

Medicaid resources in Aurora, CO

Seniors in Aurora can apply for Medicaid benefits online at Colorado PEAK or contact the following resource for more information and/or application assistance:

VA benefits

Eligible veterans and their surviving spouses in Aurora may be eligible for VA programs that can help cover the cost of in-home care:

  • Aid and Attendance (A&A). The Aid and Attendance benefit provides additional monthly payments to eligible wartime veterans and surviving spouses who receive a VA pension and require assistance with daily activities.[05] These funds can be used to pay for in-home care services. To apply, visit VA.gov to download Form 21-2680. The completed form can be uploaded online, mailed in, or submitted in person at the regional benefit office in Denver.
  • Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care. This program offers trained professionals to assist veterans with personal care needs, allowing them to remain in their homes. Services include help with activities like bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. Eligibility is determined by a VA health care provider, and services are coordinated through the local VA medical center. To apply, contact a VA social worker in Colorado for next steps.[06]
  • Veteran Directed Care (VDC). The VDC program allows eligible veterans to manage their own care services, including hiring personal care aides. This self-directed approach provides flexibility in choosing caregivers and tailoring services to individual needs. Enrollment is coordinated through the local VA medical center’s social work department.​ To access the program, reach out to your loved one’s VA social worker.[07]

Home care laws and regulations in Colorado

Colorado’s home care industry is regulated by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, which sets standards to help ensure safe, effective, and high-quality care for individuals aging in place. Agencies must follow strict licensing procedures and hiring practices to operate legally in the state[08]

Licensing and accreditation

In Colorado, home care agencies must obtain one of two license types depending on the services they offer.

  • Class A license: Required for agencies that provide any skilled medical services, such as nursing or physical therapy
  • Class B license: Required for agencies that provide nonmedical personal care services only — such as assistance with bathing, dressing, and housekeeping

Agencies must also submit to inspections, meet ongoing compliance standards, and implement:[08]

  • Formal policies covering client, facility, and personnel records and practices
  • Documented standard operating procedures
  • Infection control policies and practices
  • Emergency response plans
  • Staff immunization and sick leave plans
  • Mechanisms to verify staff background and criminal records
  • Mechanisms to ensure staff are appropriately trained for their jobs

Accreditation from nationally recognized bodies can help streamline the renewal process and demonstrate quality assurance.

Hiring practices

Colorado law requires licensed agencies to:[08]

  • Conduct thorough background checks
  • Provide caregiver training based on care type
  • Supervise and evaluate caregiver performance

These regulations help ensure safe, consistent care for seniors across the state.

How to choose the right home care agency in Aurora

Choosing the right home care agency in Aurora is essential to ensuring your loved one receives quality, compassionate care. Whether you’re seeking help with daily tasks or specialized support for chronic conditions, asking the right questions and doing thorough research can make all the difference.

Request detailed pricing information

Ask about caregiver training and expertise

Look for agencies that specialize in conditions like dementia or mobility impairment. Confirm that caregivers receive continuing education.

Check licensing and inspection history

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment maintains records of home care agency inspections and complaints. Reviewing this data can reveal past violations or patterns of concern.
