Tools That Make the Decision Easier
These four tools are free and none of them require an account. Use the Care Level Finder to see what kind of care fits, the Cost Estimator to see what it costs in Colorado, and the scorecard and checklists to keep your tours and paperwork straight.
Which tool do you need right now?
Start anywhere. Most families use the finder first, then the estimator.
Care Level Finder
Answer eight questions and see whether independent living, assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing fits.
about 2 minutesOpenCost Estimator
Pick a care level, a room type, and the help that is needed, and see the monthly and yearly range.
about 1 minuteOpenCommunity Scorecard
Rate each community you tour on the same points so three visits do not blur together.
about 5 minutes per tourOpenChecklists
Printable lists for touring, reading a contract, and getting through move-in week.
about 3 minutes to skimOpen
What if a tool raises more questions?
That happens often, and it is not a problem. A tool can tell you that memory care is probably the right level and that it runs seven thousand dollars a month. It cannot tell you which building on your side of town has a nurse on site at night, or which one has an opening next week.
That part is our job. Read how our placement process works, see the full Colorado cost guide, or browse our guides on choosing care.
