Two kinds of assisted living in Denver
Both are licensed by Colorado as assisted living. Larger communities suit people who want social life and on-site services; small homes suit people who do better with quiet, familiar routines, including many people with dementia. Colorado words these licenses as “Assisted Living Residence (ALR ONLY)” (35), “Assisted Living Residence (ALR/ACF)” (26), “Assisted Living Residence (ALR/BISL)” (2).

How much does assisted living cost in Denver?
The median cost of assisted living in Colorado is $6,584 a month ($79,008 a year), above the national median of $6,200. That’s CareScout’s 2025 survey, collected July to November 2025. 18 Denver communities publish a starting price on Lilisity, from $910 to $10,235 a month. If more care is needed: nursing home costs in Colorado, with CareScout medians and the private-pay rates nursing homes publish. Small residential homes often cost less than larger communities, though care needs, room type and services move the price more than the building does.
Medicare does not pay for assisted living. People pay from savings and income, long-term care insurance, or VA Aid and Attendance (up to $29,093 a year for a veteran in 2026), and some qualify for Medicaid help with care costs at communities that accept it. Who actually pays for long-term care.

Check a Denver community’s license
Colorado publishes licensing records, and in most cases inspection or complaint reports, for every community on this page. Look up any community on the state’s site: data-cdphe.opendata.arcgis.com. Ask the community for its most recent inspection report too; they have to keep it.
Denver assisted living questions
Colorado licenses 63 assisted living communities in Denver as of November 2026: 32 larger communities and 30 small residential homes of 16 or fewer residents, with about 3,628 licensed spots in all.
The median cost of assisted living in Colorado is $6,584 a month (CareScout 2025), compared with $6,200 nationally. Prices vary with the room, the level of care and the community, so ask each one for its current rate sheet. The table on this page shows each community's published price or a Lilisity estimate where we have one, and our free guide lists the questions to ask about cost.
Medicaid doesn't pay rent or meals in assisted living. Most states offer a Medicaid waiver or program that can pay for care services at participating communities for people who qualify; not every community takes it, so ask each one. Colorado's Medicaid agency or your local Area Agency on Aging can tell you what's available.
Colorado publishes its licensing records at data-cdphe.opendata.arcgis.com. You can also ask any community for its most recent state inspection report.
