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.
