Programs and Services

Jefferson County Long-Term Care Eligibility is a team that determines financial eligibility for ongoing medical or non-medical support for adults over the age of 18 who may have a chronic illness or disability and need long term care, and disabled children who are at risk of institutionalization in a hospital or nursing facility and who would not otherwise be eligible for Medicaid due to parental income and/or resources.

Jefferson County Options for Longterm Care conducts functional client assessments to determine the appropriate level of care for individuals with chronic illnesses or disability.

The Adult Protective Services Unit provides assistance to adults 18 years and older who are at-risk of abuse, neglect or exploitation.

Veterans Services provides a variety of types of assistance to residents of Jefferson County who served in the United States Military. 

The Aging Well in Jefferson County Project is a project to develop and implement strategies to meet the needs of the growing senior population.

The SOAR Program provides assistance to adults who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and/or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).

To get started, our office must receive a completed application in order to schedule an intake appointment.

There are three options for obtaining an application.

1. In person - applications may be picked up in person at the Human Services Building located at: 900 Jefferson County Parkway, Room 110, Golden, Colorado, 80401
2. Telephone - a request can be made over the phone to be sent via mail. Please call 303-271-4006 to request an application.
3. Online - an application may be downloaded. 

Once we receive your application, it will be screened and you will be scheduled for an interview with a member of the Intake team to determine your eligibility.

To find out whether you are eligible for benefits such as food assistance, cash assistance or family/children's medical assistance programs, or to check the status of your current benefits, visit the State of Colorado's Program Eligibility and Application Kit Web page.

• For security reasons, you must establish a user profile and must know your Case ID number. In addition, applicants who have applied for benefits, but have not been initially notified of the status of their eligibility determination, will not be able to use this tool to determine the status of their application at this time.
