Pueblo ALF costs and costs for other care options vary depending on many factors. As a starting, see what the average costs are according to a Genworth Financial survey. A one-bedroom in a Pueblo assisted living facility averages $2,500 per month. The level of care (e.g. 24/7 skilled nursing care) in nursing homes is higher than in ALFs so the costs are higher. A private room in a Pueblo nursing home averages $6,692 month, while a semi-private averages $6,023. At-home care options include home health aides (help with bathing, dressing, etc.) and homemaker services (cooking, running errands, etc.). Both of these options average $2,955 a month. Pueblo’s overall cost of living is 17% below the national average.
