Located just 13 miles southeast of Boulder, Broomfield is home to over 74,000 residents, of which 14.3% are aged 65 and over. Alzheimer’s and other memory-loss conditions are a growing concern among seniors living in Broomfield. In fact, according to the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention, the rate of Alzheimer’s-related deaths more than doubled from 2014 to 2018, rising from 13 to 28 per year. In comparison, the overall death rate in Broomfield increased by only 26% over the same timeframe, which may signify that dementia-related conditions are becoming a serious issue in the city.
Fortunately, there are multiple senior living communities in the Broomfield area that are uniquely equipped to provide memory care support. These communities provide around-the-clock supervision as well as therapy and specialized activities to ensure the safety of all residents and to possibly slow the effects of dementia and memory loss. This guide will provide more information about memory care support services in Broomfield, costs related to these services and a list of local resources specifically geared toward seniors.
Broomfield has a SeniorScore of 80, which is significantly higher than both the Colorado state score of 69 and the national score of 72. The city received particularly high scores in the Health & Safety (77) and General Quality of Life (71) categories, with slightly lower scores in the Recreation & Leisure (66) and Finance (67) categories.
The city’s high score in the Health & Safety category is due to several factors, including its proximity to eight hospitals and over 150 senior living communities as well as its high number of home health care providers and very low violent crime rate. Residents in Broomfield also have a life expectancy rate of 80 years, which is substantially higher than the national average of 78.6 years. The city’s ideal rainfall levels and high public transportation ridership rates helped it earn its high rating in the General Quality of Life category.
Overall, the cost of living in Broomfield is comparable to the national average. While the state income tax rate is higher than the national average, the local sales tax rate of 6.90% remains lower than the national average of 6.9%. Residents of Broomfield also have a property tax rate of 2.21%, which is lower than the national average of 2.79%. While Broomfield received its lowest rating in the Recreation & Leisure category, the city still offers plenty of amenities for seniors, including 17 parks, over 200 grocery stores, a dozen movie theaters and nine shopping centers.
Typically, memory care support services are held within specialized units in assisted living facilities. These programs provide seniors struggling with Alzheimer’s or other memory loss issues with 24/7 supervision in a secure setting. Staff members are trained to offer memory care support, and customized activities are used to promote social, physical and mental well-being. Due to the extra services provided, memory care facilities usually cost anywhere from 20-30% more than standard assisted living costs. Since there are no national averages available for memory care costs, we have estimated these costs by adding 25% onto the assisted living costs compiled in Genworth’s 2020 Cost of Care Survey.
The average monthly cost for memory care in Broomfield is $6,375, which is significantly higher than both the state average of $5,719 per month and the national average of $5,375 per month.
Memory care costs in Broomfield are among some of the highest rates in the state. In fact, Colorado Springs is the only city in the state with higher memory care fees, which average $6,675 per month. However, monthly memory care prices in the capital city of Denver are also comparable to Broomfield and average just $312 lower at $6,063 per month. Memory care costs in other cities throughout the state, including Fort Collins ($5,148), Grand Junction ($4,994), Pueblo ($4,875) and Greeley ($4,394), average anywhere from $1,227 to $1,981 less per month than costs in Broomfield.
