In-Home Care in Colorado at a Glance
Colorado In-Home Care Costs and How Far VA Benefits Go
The Colorado median for a home health aide is $7,913 a month (CareScout 2025, based on 44 hours of care a week), 19% above the U.S. median of $6,673. At about $42 an hour, most Colorado families start with a few shifts a week and add hours as needs grow, so the real bill is often lower than the full-time figure.
| Type of care | Colorado per month | U.S. per month | Share up to $3,845 covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-home care (non-medical, 44 hrs/week) | $7,913 | $6,673 | 49% |
| Adult day care | $2,275 | $2,058 | 100% |
| Assisted living | $6,584 | $6,200 | 58% |
| Nursing home, semi-private room | $10,159 | $9,581 | 38% |
All Colorado figures are CareScout 2025 medians. Agency rates vary with the hours, the shift length and whether care is overnight.

Licensing for Colorado Home Care Agencies
Colorado requires agencies that provide non-medical personal care to hold a license, the Home Care Agency license, Class B (non-medical personal care), issued by Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Ask any agency for its license number and look it up before the first visit.
Agencies that employ caregivers carry the payroll and injury coverage; hiring privately shifts that to your family.
