It also operates the State Health Insurance Assistance Program, which provides free Medicare counseling for beneficiaries.
Denver Vet Center (303) 326-0645 The Denver Vet Center is staffed by trained agents who help older veterans determine their eligibility and apply for state and federal benefits, such as tax assistance, financial assistance and Aid and Attendance, which may help cover long-term care expenses.

Seniors’ Resource Center (303) 238-8151 The Senior Resource Center is the largest nonprofit organization in Denver that’s dedicated to serving older adults.
