Colorado Assisted Living

Colorado is an extremely beautiful state with a ton of outdoor recreational opportunities and a wide selection of assisted living communities throughout the state. It has also transformed into a highly desirable place to live for retirees. Colorado has 5.5+ million people and continues to grow steadily. Its growth rate is comparable to Arizona, as they are two of the fastest growing states for seniors in the country.

The ample sunshine and moderate temperatures are consistent for most parts of the year with a more severe winter depending on what part of the state you live in.

Colorado is expanding with some of the fastest growing states in America. Consequently, a very good selection of senior housing and assisted living already exists and more senior living complexes are currently in the works. Premiere living facilities for elderly care can be found throughout Colorado in big cities like Denver and Colorado Springs, along with several different mid-size cities across the front range.

The western half of the state is more rural and with some gorgeous mountainous towns like Vail and Aspen. The Rocky Mountains divide the state in two and feature world-class skiing.
