Expanding Housing Solutions for Colorado’s Growing Senior Population

Colorado is home to one of the fastest-growing senior populations in the nation. By 2030, one in five residents will be over the age of 65. In El Paso County alone, the senior population is projected to increase by more than 50% over the next two decades. This significant shift is prompting a statewide reevaluation of what senior housing should look like.

At Melody Living Assisted Living in Colorado Springs, we’re already there. As a Best-in-Class community, we are proud to lead this evolution by offering more than just care, we offer connection, dignity, purpose, and a lifestyle that adapts to residents’ needs as they age.

Rethinking Senior Housing for the Next Generation of Older Adults

Today’s seniors are seeking something different. They’re looking for vibrant, maintenance-free living that supports their autonomy while offering peace of mind. Aging in place may work for some, but for many, assisted living communities provide a better path, especially when they blend safety, independence, and enrichment, like we do at Melody Living.

Our Colorado Springs Best-in-Class senior campus was built from the ground up with seniors’ overall wellness in mind. From offering a complete continuum of care with Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care, we know that as a resident’s needs change, we are already ready to support them.

In our Assisted Living neighborhood, we offer spacious private suites with abundant natural light, secure surroundings, and thoughtfully designed amenities that support not just physical needs but emotional and social wellness, too. Residents enjoy a robust lifestyle that includes:

• 24/7 access to compassionate, highly trained caregivers
• Onsite licensed nursing seven days a week – a rare advantage in our region
• Collaborative Care Reviews every month to proactively address resident needs
• Tailored wellness programs, including fitness, therapy coordination, and health monitoring
• A full calendar of life enrichment events and activities curated by dedicated Life Engagement professionals
• Private suites and beautiful common areas designed for both comfort and safety

Affordability and Access with Heart

Colorado’s rising housing costs have made affordability a concern for many families. At Melody Living, we believe high-quality care should never be out of reach. That’s why we offer guidance and support to help families navigate long-term care insurance, veterans' benefits, and financial planning solutions that make sense for their unique situation. Our individualized care plans are built to serve a wide range of budgets and evolving needs.

More Than a Residence: A True Community

Loneliness and isolation are major challenges facing many older adults today. At Melody Living, we make it a priority to build an inclusive, supportive community that helps residents thrive. Every day, our residents enjoy meaningful engagement through:

• Chef-curated culinary experiences featuring fresh, nutritious meals and themed dining events
• Interactive group outings to explore scenic Colorado Springs and its cultural offerings
• Fitness classes, art therapy, gardening, and intergenerational activities
• Philanthropic opportunities like supporting the Alzheimer’s Association and volunteering within the community

Residents are encouraged to live Life in Harmony™- a philosophy that supports physical, emotional, and social wellness.

The Melody Living Difference: Best-in-Class Care

What sets us apart? Our commitment to true excellence. From our three licensed nurses on-site to our VP-led clinical oversight, no other assisted living provider in our market delivers this level of support.

Every team member contributes to our monthly Collaborative Care Reviews, where even small observations like changes in appetite or mood are discussed to ensure proactive, personalized care. This whole-person approach to wellness allows us to meet each resident where they are, while helping them feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
