Aging and Wellness
Routt County Ranks 2nd
4. Aging and Wellness (weight: 15%)
What is the quality and availability of appropriate facilities to care
for the community’s aging population?
Basis: As our population ages, the need for access to greater/larger/additional
senior care facilities will become an increasing area of concern for all communities.
The capacity of skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and senior
apartment housing available in a community is a reflection of the care and support of
its senior population.
