Happy Colorado Day from Senior Housing Options! We have been a Colorado Nonprofit and creating community for Colorado’s older adults since 1979. Let’s celebrate the spirit, scenery, and stories that make our state — and our community — so special.
Celebrate Colorado Day: Honoring Our Beautiful State Together
August 1 is Colorado Day — a special time to celebrate the founding of our beautiful state and all the reasons we’re proud to call Colorado home!
On this day in 1876, Colorado became the 38th state in the union, earning the nickname the “Centennial State” because it joined 100 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Each year, August 1 is a reminder to reflect on Colorado’s rich history, natural beauty, and vibrant communities — including the older adults who have helped shape it.

For residents in our senior housing communities, Colorado Day is more than just a date on the calendar. It’s a chance to:

- Celebrate Local Culture with food, music, and traditions unique to our state.
- Reconnect with nature and community pride, whether it’s reminiscing about the mountains, visiting local parks, or enjoying a photo display of Colorado landscapes.
