VA benefits for memory care in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs has several veterans membership programs that offer valuable resources for seniors. You’ll also find resource centers and veterans service officers in Colorado Springs that are available to help you navigate federal veterans benefits. Read on to learn about local resources and VA benefits that can help during your loved one’s stay in memory care.

Veterans benefits

Veterans or spouses of deceased veterans in Colorado Springs can use benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to cover the costs of memory care while in assisted living. If a veteran is enrolled in VA health care, they may be eligible to apply for and receive additional benefits on top of their pension, like the Aid and Attendance benefit. This benefit is generous and can be used for anything improving quality of life, such as living in a memory care community or in-home health care.

Enrollment for these benefits can be tricky to navigate. Before starting the application process, we recommend speaking to a knowledgeable veterans benefits advisor, called veterans services officers, to get your loved one their rightful benefits as a veteran or surviving spouse.

Resources for Colorado Springs veterans

In Colorado Springs, the Pikes Peak library system offers a wealth of veterans information through their veterans resource section. These resources cover everything from local veterans gatherings to how to obtain benefits to support for veterans’ basic needs. Other local veteran service centers that can help a senior enroll in VA benefits include the local American Legion posts or Colorado Veterans Project. You can also find a detailed outline of veterans benefits through the Pikes Peak Agency on Aging (PPACG).

Additional ways you can access veterans advocacy include the following:

Colorado Springs Medicaid for memory care

Medicaid is a state- and federal-funded service providing health coverage to low-income citizens. Colorado Springs seniors in memory care receive Medicaid benefits through Colorado Community Health Alliance (CCHA), the local branch of Colorado’s greater Medicaid program called Health First Colorado. While CCHA doesn’t pay for memory care, they do offer assistance with certain prescription drugs and medical equipment, such as the following:

  • Crutches
  • Oxygen
  • Wheelchairs
  • Gait trainers

CCHA also offers a helpful list of health information for seniors on their website, which you can explore for answers to all kinds of general health questions. For more general questions about Medicaid programs for seniors, check out the Pike’s Peak Area Agency on Aging (PPACG). They released an adult Medicaid book detailing all state-specific programs applying to seniors along with a 2022 Yellow Book, a comprehensive information and assistance directory.

Home and Community Based Services

Additional medical and nonmedical memory care services can be covered through Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS). This is Health First Colorado’s Medicaid waiver program that can be used in assisted living and memory care facilities contracted with a resident’s managed care provider or in the senior’s home. This HCBS waiver enables individuals to live and get care in the home or community of their choice instead of an institutional setting.

HCBS waiver programs can help cover costs for the following types of assisted living services in Colorado:

  • Personal aids, such as eyeglasses, orthotic devices, hearing aids, and orthopedic shoes
  • Nursing services
  • Personal care
  • Medical supplies
  • Respite care
  • Physical, speech, and occupational therapies

Health First Colorado also offers an Elderly, Blind, and Disabled (EBD) waiver for seniors and people with disabilities. This waiver may help pay for memory care. Health First Colorado also has specific HCBS waivers for adults with the following health complications:

  • Brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Mental health needs
  • Developmental disabilities

Speak with a Health First Colorado representative to help determine eligibility and choose an HCBS waiver. Additionally, an ombudsman through the PPACG can help with any issues you may encounter as you try to access Medicaid benefits and other long-term care service complications. Get started by exploring the resources on Health First Colorado benefits and waivers, which are listed below.

Medicare memory care coverage in Colorado Springs

For seniors over 65 who paid their Medicare taxes, or who are married to someone who has, this federal health insurance program provides assistance paying for some types of care for seniors. Medicare will not cover room and board fees during your loved one’s stay in memory care, but it can cover some long-term care costs such as the following:

  • Medical equipment
  • Hospital stays
  • Some prescription medications.

If you’d like to know what Medicare will cover for your loved one, dial 2-1-1 or visit the federal Medicare website. You can also find help at your local Social Security Administration offices and through a local ombudsman with the Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging. Ombudsmen act as advocates to help ensure you get the Medicare services you need. Additionally, these programs can also help you secure Medicare benefits for your loved one and potentially gain financial assistance:

Understand Colorado Springs laws and regulations for memory care facilities

Before we dive into the laws and regulations that govern memory care facilities in Colorado Springs, it’s important to note that memory care falls under the scope of assisted living regulation in Colorado. As such, memory care facilities are subject to the same rules and regulations as assisted living communities.

In Colorado, assisted living and memory care facilities cannot admit seniors whose needs cannot be met by the staffing’s expertise. Because of this, these communities must conduct a pre-admission assessment of potential memory care residents. This assessment seeks to get a picture of a person’s social, physical, and mental needs, their capacity for self-care, their overall health, and more. The community must be able to provide the following to residents:

  • A physically safe and sanitary environment
  • Room and board
  • Protective oversight
  • Systems for addressing resident concerns
  • Social care and resident engagement
  • Nursing services, as long as care needs don’t exceed regular 24-hour medical care[03]

Additionally, in the state of Colorado, assisted living and memory care residences cannot provide a full kitchen to residents. Instead, lodgings often come equipped with miniature versions comparable to what one might find in a hotel room: kitchenettes with mini-fridges and microwaves.[01] Note that memory care communities offer three meals each day, and some facilities offer community kitchens where seniors in memory care can participate in the rhythms of their own food preparation, if desired.

Regulation in Colorado Springs

In Colorado Springs, communities with memory care are licensed by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). Additionally, the Health Facilities and Emergency Medical Services Division oversees adult care and assisted living facilities — including those offering memory care. They are the department responsible for performing quality and safety inspections. To review any licensed facility, you can view all inspection reports for the past five years on their website.

For a deeper understanding of Colorado regulations and how they affect your loved one’s stay in memory care, you can also review the following information:

Medicaid and Medicare certification for memory care facilities

In Colorado Springs, some memory care facilities may be eligible for Medicaid and Medicare certification. This allows facilities to bill Medicaid or Medicare for some health care services provided to residents. It also means the memory care community has to participate in regular inspections by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, along with following stricter health care guidelines. You can find out whether a specific memory care community is additionally regulated on the Colorado Department of Public Health’s inspection reports “find and compare” feature.

What to expect from memory care living in Colorado Springs

In Colorado Springs, you’ll find that many memory care facilities are part of broader assisted (and sometimes independent) living communities. Memory care facilities are often sectioned off among these shared senior living spaces to create a cultivated space for familiar, dementia-friendly patterns of living. This helps to reduce confusion and distress for those struggling with memory problems. There’s an increased demand for memory care, particularly in Colorado Springs. Families may experience a two- to three-month wait before a senior can move into a memory care exclusive community.

Even so, Colorado Springs has undergone a series of changes for bettering the experiences of the seniors who live there. Explore efforts from the wider community, as well as within our partner network of memory care communities in the metro area.

Local improvement efforts

In 2016, local governance committed to an Age Friendly Pikes Peak initiative. This initiative targeted improvements in eight stated domains of livability:

  • Housing
  • Social participation
  • Respect and social inclusion
  • Civic participation and employment
  • Communication and information
  • Community support and health services
  • Outdoor spaces and buildings
  • Transportation[04]

They’ve addressed several points of this by hosting organizations to help guide these efforts:

  • Dementia Friendly Colorado Springs. This organization’s specialized programs and services work to support individuals with dementia. Additionally, they teach businesses, institutions, and community members across the city to accommodate individuals with dementia by recognizing the signs of dementia and interacting supportively.
  • Colorado Alzheimer’s Association chapter. This office provides support services and education to those facing the challenges of dementia. Their programming works to reduce the stigma around dementia and raise awareness.

These efforts may improve life in the broader Colorado Springs community, but that isn’t the whole story. Many memory care facilities additionally and continually improve their programming and features to enhance the lives of seniors with dementia. Check out some of those initiatives below.

Personalized physical care

Predictability is proven to ease those suffering from dementia and memory issues. Given that, many memory care facilities work to provide consistent care assignments, meaning staff members work with the same residents to encourage familiarity and person-centered partnerships. Through these partnerships, memory care facilities offer the following services:

  • Diabetic care
  • Incontinence care
  • Ambulatory care
  • Medication management

Reviews of these care partnerships are often glowing, indicative of a warm and nurturing attitude from caregivers in these facilities. Families remember how staff are always “bringing out a smile” and are generous with hugs and smiles for their loved ones in memory care.

Sensory-driven details

Therapies guided by sensory activity are also proven to improve the lives of those in memory care. You’ll find thoughtful sensory details throughout our partner facilities in Colorado Springs. For example, in one community, there’s extra thought given to the dining experience that encourages an interest in food, with details that include the following:

  • Warm, freshly cleaned and scented hand towels
  • Soft music during mealtimes
  • Artful centerpieces to engage senses

If desired, residents can have a full schedule of events each day to stimulate the senses and improve brain health. A daily activity schedule for any memory care resident might include these options:

  • Painting or fiber arts
  • Exercise
  • Brain fitness
  • Music therapy
  • Pet therapy
  • A community outing
