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, monthly rates for assisted living in Littleton average $4,700, which is notably higher than the shared state and national averages of $4,000. There are just two cities in Colorado where costs are higher: nearby Colorado Springs ($4,875) and Boulder ($5,000). Prices drop considerably just a short distance away in Pueblo ($4,000), Fort Collins ($3,950) and Greeley ($3,670). The most distant surveyed city, Grand Junction, has the state’s lowest assisted living cost of $3,350 per month. Note: Data for senior care costs in Littleton wasn’t available, so data for the nearby city of Denver was used.

Assisted Living Costs in Littleton

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

When comparing care options in Littleton, seniors need to consider the reasons why rates differ so drastically, such as the setting, level of care provided and whether skilled services are offered. Nursing homes and assisted living communities provide care in a residential setting, but nursing homes cost over $3,600 more per month due to the higher level of skilled care and services they offer. Those comparing assisted living and in-home care should remember to factor in the value of room and board typically included in assisted living fees. Homemaker and home health aide services appear to be only marginally more expensive than assisted living, but these rates are for services only, so seniors still have to pay day-to-day expenses, such as food, upkeep, property taxes and utilities.

The program covers a number of valuable health care services for eligible state residents, including doctor and specialist visits, emergency room services, inpatient and outpatient hospital care, preventive services, institutional nursing home care and minimal in-home care services. To be eligible for Medicaid long-term care coverage in Colorado, applicants must be U.S. citizens or qualifying noncitizens and meet the following financial limitations: <ul>

<li>A maximum of $4,626 in monthly income and up to $4,000 in assets if married and both spouses apply</li>

If only one spouse of a married couple applies, the non-applicant’s monthly income is exempt. Additionally,&nbsp;up to $3,160.50 of the applicant’s monthly income and $136,420 of the couple’s joint assets also may be excluded as spousal allowances for the non-applicant individual.
