You can help us bring warmth, care, and community to Colorado's older adults.

Senior Housing Options (SHO) is a 501(c)3 Colorado nonprofit dedicated to making sure older adults have a place to call home—safe, welcoming, and full of life. Every day, we care for over 350 older adults and adults with disabilities who might not otherwise have a place to call home.

Our assisted living communities provide everything residents need to thrive, including meals, medication support, and wellness activities at one low affordable rate. And the best part? We accept Medicaid from day one—no spend down required.

Mission

Our Mission is to provide residential communities and caring services to enrich the lives of older adults in Colorado.

Our Vision is that Colorado's older adults live and thrive in a safe, caring community regardless of their financial means.

Background Statement

In the late 1970s, thousands of older adults in Denver lost their homes as small hotels were torn down during city growth. Many were left without safety, community, or dignity.

That’s why Senior Housing Options (SHO) was born—to give older adults a place to call home. Today, SHO provides four assisted living residences and five affordable apartment communities, caring for over 350 older adults and adults with disabilities across Colorado. Our assisted living communities offer meals, medication support, wellness activities, and a place to belong at a low all-inclusive rate and Medicaid is accepted on day one. Our Affordable Housing communities are HUD or LIHTC supported and offer a place where low-income residents can live affordably and securely.

Your support makes this possible. Every gift helps older adults live safely, comfortably, and with dignity—in homes filled with warmth, friendship, and care.
