Senior Living Alternatives

If you or a loved one are considering a move to a Senior Focused Community,
there are many options in Colorado Springs with varying levels of care, costs, and
benefits. Senior Living Realty Navigators can help you understand the choices including:

Active Senior Communities

There are many options for Active Seniors in Colorado Springs. For
adults 55+, you will find entire communities with low maintenance single family homes, duplexes or condos, to rent or purchase. There are a variety which provide independent living with social
interaction and amenities like recreation centers with exercise classes, pools, dog parks,
and even some that include meals, transportation and organized events.

Assisted Living Residences

Assisted living residences provide non-medical
support for independent seniors who may need some
help with daily life, offering private living spaces and
communal dining and activities.

Residential Care Homes

A smaller form of assisted living, these homes are often
in residential neighborhoods with room for 20 or fewer
older adults. They are typically similar in cost to assisted
living residences and are well suited for individuals who
wish to live in a smaller facility.

Nursing Homes

Nursing homes offer 24-hour care, including nursing,
meals and personal assistance. They primarily serve
individuals with long-term physical or mental health
needs, housing residents in private or shared rooms.

Memory Care Facilities

Memory care is usually offered by assisted living
facilities and nursing homes for older adults diagnosed
with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease who can no
longer live on their own.

CCRC‘s

Continuing care retirement communities combine
different levels of care on one campus offering the
advantage of staying in one place as a senior grows older.

Veterans Care

Veterans receive a range of benefits for long-term care.
They may stay at regular nursing homes on contract
with the Department of Veterans Affairs or at homes
operated by the VA, using certain funds to pay for
assisted living and home care.

Aging In Place

Long-term care can include helping seniors age in place, but
not all homes are suited for this. The cost of modifying
a home for mobility or cognitive needs may make
staying there financially challenging.
