It is usually paid for privately, with long-term care insurance, a Medicaid program or VA benefits, not by Medicare. Compare at least three agencies, and ask each whether caregivers are employees, how they are screened, who supervises them, the minimum hours and the hourly rate.
In Colorado, the median rate for in-home care is $42 an hour, about $3,597 a month for 20 hours a week (CareScout 2025).

Questions Denver families ask
How many licensed in-home care agencies are there in Denver?
The state roster dated September 29, 2026 lists 174 agencies in Denver with an active Colorado license. Agencies based in nearby towns may also serve Denver.
How do I choose an in-home care agency in Denver?
Call at least three. Ask whether caregivers are employees or independent contractors, how they are screened and supervised, the minimum hours and the hourly rate, and what happens when a caregiver is sick. Ask for a written care plan. Our guide to how to check an agency has the full list.
How are these agencies ranked?
Each agency has an active state license and at least 10 public reviews. The Care Close to Home Score is out of 100: 60 points for the review rating, adjusted so a handful of reviews counts for less than a hundred; 20 for the number of reviews; 15 for the license check; and 5 for a verified phone and website. Agencies cannot pay to rank higher.
How do families pay for in-home care in Denver?
Most pay privately, by the hour. Long-term care insurance, Medicaid waivers and VA benefits can help with bathing help, meals, housekeeping or companionship.
What does "licensed" mean?
The agency holds a license from the state health department. Licensing sets minimum standards and allows the state to inspect and act on complaints, but it does not rate how good the care is.
