Colorado Springs Senior AdvisorHow many adult day programs are there around Colorado Springs?
CDPHE's facility list shows 8 adult day programs in El Paso County, all with Colorado Springs addresses, and some of them serve mainly adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities, so ask who each program is designed for
Adult day programs give a structured day of meals, activities and supervision, usually on weekdays during business hours, so a family caregiver can work or rest. CareScout's 2025 Colorado median for adult day health care is $105 a day, about $2,275 a month for five days a week. Ask each program about transportation, nursing on site and dementia care.
Who pays for adult day care in Colorado?
Families pay privately at many programs, but Health First Colorado's EBD waiver covers adult day services for eligible members, and Rocky Mountain PACE members attend PACE's own centers.
The payor column comes from CDPHE's Find and Compare data and shows whether a program bills Medicaid. A program that lists private pay only can still be the right fit; ask about its daily rate, sliding-scale help and any veterans' benefits it accepts.
What should we ask an adult day program before enrolling?
Ask who the program is designed for (older adults with dementia, adults with disabilities, or both), the hours and days, transportation and its service area, whether a nurse is on site, how medications are given, and the daily or hourly rate.
Visit for a morning before enrolling, and ask how the program handles a participant who becomes agitated or tries to leave. Families in Monument, Fountain, Falcon or Woodland Park should ask specifically about transportation, since every program on CDPHE's list for the two counties has a Colorado Springs address.
