The average monthly cost of assisted living care in the U.S. is $4,000, according to <a href="https://www.genworth.com/aging-and-you/finances/cost-of-care.html" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.genworth.com/aging-and-you/finances/cost-of-care.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">Genworth’s 2018 Cost of Care</a>&nbsp;study, and the Colorado average is the same. At $4,700 per month, Lakewood’s assisted living cost is high in comparison. The only Colorado cities with more expensive rates are Colorado Springs ($4,875) and Boulder ($5,000). Grand Junction has the state’s most affordable assisted living&nbsp;at a cost of just $3,350 per month. Seniors in Greeley ($3,670) and Pueblo ($4,000) also enjoy lower prices&nbsp;than their counterparts in Lakewood. Note: Senior care cost data wasn’t available for Lakewood, so data for Denver was used.

Assisted Living Costs in Lakewood

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

Location isn’t the only factor that influences the cost of senior care. The type of care needed also affects&nbsp;monthly costs. Seniors pay an average of $4,700 per month for assisted living, which is about three times the cost of adult day health services ($1,625). Those who need nursing home care pay $8,365 per month, which is about 80% more than the cost of assisted living. Homemaker ($4,767) and home health aide services ($5,243) are priced similarly to assisted living. Seniors should remember that these prices only include the cost of in-home care itself. Regular household expenses, such as utilities and groceries, are still the senior’s responsibility. Assisted living residences usually include these costs in their monthly fees, so seniors may find they’re a more budget-friendly option.
