Overview of Colonial Health and Rehab Center

Colonial Health and Rehab Center at 1340 E Fillmore St has been a fixture in northeast Colorado Springs since 1963. That is over 60 years of history, which is impressive for any facility. It is an 80-bed community that handles both nursing and assisted living. You are about 2.9 miles from the city center, and with a Walk Score of 65, you can actually manage a few errands on foot, which is a nice perk for this kind of place.

Right now, they have 74 of their 80 beds filled, which is 86.8% occupancy. The average stay here is 437 days; that’s nearly 15 months, so this is definitely more of a long-term home than a place for quick rehab. Residents get 3 hours and 11 minutes of nursing care every day. That breaks down into 1 hour and 50 minutes from nurse aides and 20 minutes from registered nurses.

They accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, and they have an active resident council on-site. Looking at their state inspections, they tend to focus on the usual suspects like medication management, care documentation, resident rights, and injury prevention.

Since this place is designed for extended care rather than short-term recovery, and given how long they have been around, it feels like a very stable, established choice. If you are looking for long-term placement in Colorado Springs and need a facility that accepts all major payment types, this is a solid, reliable option that has stood the test of time.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Colorado

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Colorado?

Assisted living in Colorado supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Colorado?

Assisted living in Colorado is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Colorado Medicaid cover assisted living?

Colorado Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Colorado) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 455 assisted living facilities in Colorado. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Colorado?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Colorado, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Colorado?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
