I visited this facility

Longmont Regent was a nice community, but it's too small, as far as the living space for my friend goes. Everything else was fine. They have card games, crafts, puzzles, and a library. The staff was very nice and very helpful. It's very well maintained, and they followed the COVID guidelines very strictly.

My sister is staying at Longmont Regent and so far, we have been very happy. It's an updated one-bedroom unit. The staff was really nice there, too. We have met other residents, and they seemed really happy. They offer a lot of activities for the residents. I know during Christmas they took them on a city lights tour in their bus. There are also crafts going on all the time, little workout sessions, bingo, and lots of things for the residents to do.

My mom is at Brookdale Longmont. It is a very good community and my mom is very happy there. It is a very caring place. The every day hands-on CNAs are absolutely wonderful. My mom is very happy with them. They're very attentive to her. She is also enjoying the food.

Longmont Regent was very nice, clean, and welcoming, I liked the services, and I liked the support staff. They were playing memory games when I was there, but they had a daily calendar of things. They have a library, and the room was nice. Everything was lovely.

The room I saw at Longmont Regent looked clean and I liked the size better than the other places we looked at. The person who accommodated us was very nice and answered all our questions. The dining area looked very nice, and I liked the colors in there. There are so many activities available and they offer transportation.

I really liked Longmont Regent. They were very helpful. We went there for two different tours. The amenities were good and it seemed like a really good place for my mother-in-law. I would like her to stay there. The one-bedrooms were large and sunny. I liked the studios on the main floor. It also had a separate entrance from the outside so it felt more like an independent apartment. The studios were small, so she wouldn't have been happy with that. The staff was very good and very helpful. I saw people out at dinner and they all seemed very happy with it.

I visited Longmont Regent. Everybody was very friendly, and it's a very homey place. The residents were very happy. Everything was great, and although it's an older place, they've kept it well-maintained. I feel it's going to be my future home. The location is very convenient because it's close to grocery stores and everything. They have activities all the time, they also have some rehab services, and they also have some therapists come in. They have outings, and transportation to doctors' appointments. The biggest part is, it's also something I can afford.

Longmont Regent didn't have quite as many amenities like a general store or a salon. It was more of an upstairs-downstairs apartment-type complex. The facility seemed nice, they were very attentive, and they followed up after I met up with them.

My father was in Brookdale Longmont, then he moved out about two weeks later because he thought his room was too small and there were not enough people there for socialization. He said there were too many people on walkers and wheelchairs who didn't want to talk. The pricing was good. He was limited in activities because he is legally blind, but they offered transportation. They were close to a couple of supermarkets within a half block or so. They played Bingo and cards. They had a small garden and some people were participating in that. They tried to have something planned every day.

Assisted Living Costs in Longmont

Longmont has the most expensive assisted living costs in Colorado. At $5,000, the monthly rate in the city is 25% higher than the $4,000 state and national averages. Rates in Pueblo ($4,000) and Fort Collins ($3,950) are in line with the state average, while seniors in Greeley ($3,670) and Grand Junction ($3,350) pay hundreds less per month. The only cities with assisted living costs close to the price in Longmont are Colorado Springs ($4,875) and Denver ($4,700), which are $125 and $300 less expensive, respectively.

Note: Longmont senior care cost data wasn’t available, so data for the nearby city of Boulder was used instead.

Care Cost Comparison

Costs for most senior care options in Longmont are higher than the $5,000 average monthly rate for assisted living. Homemaker and home health aide services average $5,339 per month, while nursing home rates for a semiprivate room are over $4,000 more at $9,343. Adult day health services are the only option with a lower cost at just $1,463 per month, but they only provide daytime, Monday-to-Friday care in a group setting. When comparing the value of different care options, it’s important to consider whether room and board are included in the rates. Assisted living fees generally cover meals and accommodations, but rates for in-home care only represent the hours of care services received. Food, utilities, taxes, insurance and other household costs are all extra expenses that should be factored in for a realistic comparison.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Longmont

Medicaid in Colorado

Americans with limited income who can’t afford health insurance may be eligible for coverage through Medicaid; a program designed to provide free or low-cost health care services to needy individuals. The federal and state government-funded program provides coverage for over 65 million children, families, disabled and blind adults, pregnant women and seniors.

The Medicaid program known as Health First Colorado is administered by the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing. The program provides a wide range of benefits for eligible residents, including primary and specialist care, emergency, inpatient and outpatient hospital services, preventive care, prescriptions and long-term nursing home care.

Qualifying for Colorado Medicaid

Longmont residents who are American citizens or eligible immigrants can qualify for Health First Colorado coverage for long-term care if they have a monthly income of $2,313 or less and no more than $2,000 in assets per person. These limits are doubled to $4,626 and $4,000 for married couples who apply together.

When determining eligibility, Medicaid considers applicants’ income from all sources. However, a number of assets don’t count, including a primary home and its furnishings, personal effects and one automobile.

When only one spouse of a couple applies, the non-applicant’s income is disregarded. Additionally, the spouse remaining at home may be awarded up to $3,160.50 of the applicant’s monthly income and up to $126,420 of the couple’s jointly owned assets. These living and resource allowances are mandated by the federal government to prevent spousal impoverishment.

Qualified Income Trust

Applicants who exceed the income limits but meet Health First Colorado’s other eligibility criteria may lower their monthly earnings to the required threshold using a Qualified Income Trust. When excess monthly income is deposited into the trust account, it no longer counts toward the limit. This type of trust is irrevocable and funds removed must be used to pay approved long-term care or medical expenses.

Longmont residents can apply for Health First Colorado coverage online or in person at the Boulder County Department of Human Services office located at 515 Coffman Street. For more information or assistance completing an application, senior can call (303) 441-1000. 

Elderly, Blind and Disabled Waiver

Health First Colorado only covers long-term care in a nursing home as an entitlement. The state offers the Elderly, Blind and Disabled waiver as an alternative to let Medicaid-eligible seniors remain in the community and reduce nursing home admissions.

The EBD program includes Medicaid medical coverage and pays for various supportive services provided by assisted living facilities, such as housekeeping and help with personal care activities. The waiver doesn’t cover room and board, so program participants must pay this portion of their facility fees. Longmont residents can qualify for the EBD waiver if they:

  • Meet Health First Colorado’s income and asset limits
  • Are aged 65 or older and suffer from a significant functional impairment
  • Are aged 18 to 64 and blind or disabled
  • Need the level of support normally provided in a nursing home


Because the EBD isn’t a Medicaid entitlement program the number of participants is capped statewide, so approved applicants may have to wait to receive services depending on current enrollment.

To learn more about the EBD waiver or apply, Longmont residents can contact Colorado Access at (877) 710-9993.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Optional State Supplementation

Elderly or disabled individuals who qualify for or are currently receiving monthly benefits through the Supplemental Security Income program may also be eligible for an Optional State Supplementation top-up benefit.

This extra monthly amount from Colorado OSS is added to a person’s SSI benefit check and can provide up to $551 for individuals or $1,489 for married couples. The exact benefit level varies depending on income and living arrangement.

To learn more about the Colorado OSS program or apply, seniors can call Boulder County DHS at (303) 441-1000.

Colorado Old Age Pension

Longmont residents aged 60 and older who have few assets and little income may be eligible for benefits from the Colorado Old Age Pension program. Applicants must have no more than $2,000 worth of assets per individual or $3,000 per couple and a monthly income below $809 per person. Only American citizens and qualified immigrants who’ve been in the United States at least five years can qualify for OAP assistance.

The benefit amount may vary month to month based on an approved applicant’s exact income, and enrollees can receive a maximum of $809 per month or $9,709 annually.

To apply for OAP benefits, Longmont residents can call (303) 441-1000 or visit the Boulder County DHS office located at 515 Coffman Street.
