“Coming from out of state, I have felt very welcomed at Holly Creek, both by the incredible staff as well as the friendly residents. There is such a wide range of activities and enrichment opportunities that I feel truly fortunate to call this my new home.”

“A nice choice for aging parents. Only 18 apts, so patients get quality care. It's owned by The Aventists, (Advent) so there are Christan values for their care. Avent also has Hospice facility across the parking lot. Most other places are owned by corporate investors,”

“The people here took exceptional care of my mother. The place was clean, the staff was helpful and the Director Marcella was wonderful.”

How families pay for independent living in Colorado

Most Colorado families start by paying privately, drawing on savings, pensions and retirement income, and often the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a family holds a policy, can also help cover assisted living, memory care or independent living costs, though the amount and timing of benefits depend on the specific policy. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can be applied toward the cost of care in these settings, and it is worth asking a veterans service officer whether a particular family situation meets the requirements.
