Retirement Opportunities

GREELEY Retirement

Seniors are opting to retire in communities where they feel they belong and can make an impact. With a nice balance of population, and housing and entertainment options priced so you can live comfortably, Greeley is the community for you. High quality medical facilities, a nationally recognized university, and less traffic than you might have in larger metropolitan areas are draws.

The Greeley population consists of significant numbers of retirees (as well as young adults). While the share of age 65+ was 10 percent of all of Greeley’s population in 2000, in 2015 that increased to 13 percent. Increasingly, people come to Greeley (or stay here) because of the great amenities of a mid-sized city, but the charm and familiarity of a smaller town. Greeley residents have access to thousands of performances each year (professional, student, and community) and a vibrant arts scene (galleries, showrooms, and murals). The Greeley Active Adult Center provides a variety of opportunities for adults aged 50 and above. There are sports and Western lifestyle events, and a wide range of shopping and eating options. Retirees are drawn to the large number of parks, with easy access to regional trails and, less than an hour away, the Rocky Mountains.

Excellent healthcare systems offer a wide variety of services to keep you feeling your best. For seniors who need a helping hand with daily living, senior living facilities offer a community of peers with a continuum of care from independent living apartments to highly-skilled nursing care. Many also offer transportation to appointments, and schedule regular activities for their residents.
