Working at BEACON Senior News has taught me that aging isn’t fair. I’ve met some lucky 80-year-olds who look like they’re 60 and several 50-year-olds who act like they’re 70. Good genes play a part, but a great attitude is even more important to aging well.
In the Pikes Peak Region, we’re fortunate to have access to a wealth of services to support your journey to aging well. Whether you’re looking at options for yourself or helping an aging parent from afar, navigating these resources can be confusing and expensive. But don’t worry! We’ll help you sort them out in this trusted yearly guide to aging well in both El Paso and Teller Counties.
While other guides exist, The BEACON Guide stands out for these reasons:
Relevant - We’ve organized hundreds of resources based on when you might need them. From clubs and government agencies to retirement planners, home contractors, physicians, home health providers, retirement communities and support groups, you’ll discover hard-to-find contact information in one place. Plus, we’ve included insightful articles to help you along the way.
Reliable - Every listing in The BEACON Guide has been personally verified to ensure it’s a trusted resource for local seniors and those who assist them.
Reputable - For more than 30 years, BEACON Senior News has been the voice of seniors in Colorado Springs. While we can’t include every service in The BEACON Guide, we take great care to feature only reputable companies and resources.
• Resources are organized into 10 sections that follow the stages when you’re most likely to need them. Some sections, like Clubs & Activities, apply to all stages of life.
• Within each section, resources are listed alphabetically by category (except for Senior Housing).
• The BEACON Guide is free thanks to our advertisers. Please support their businesses and mention the BEACON when you reach out to them.

Enrolling in Medicare isn’t just a way to get health care coverage when you turn 65; it’s a major part of ensuring financial security during retirement.
That’s because health care can make up a significant portion of living expenses later in life. In 2023, Fidelity estimated that an average couple retiring at 65 would spend about $315,000 on health care over the course of their retirement.
When it comes time to sign up for a Medicare plan, it’s important to choose wisely. Mistakes like picking the wrong plan or missing enrollment deadlines can be costly and the financial impact of these mistakes can build over time.
“You want to make sure that your health plan will help you pay for the health care that you need, but you also don’t want to throw away money paying for more insurance than you actually need,” explained Samuel Kina, Senior Vice President of Economics & Research at Picwell, Inc.
Navigating Medicare on your own can be confusing. There’s a wide range of coverage choices, including original Medicare (Parts A and B), Medicare Part D, Medicare Advantage (Part C) and Medigap. Annual costs among these plans can vary by hundreds or even thousands of dollars. There are out-of-pocket costs to consider as well, such as premiums, deductibles, coinsurance and copayments.
Complicating matters even more is the fact that certain plans—specifically, Medicare Advantage, Part D and Medigap—are administered and sold by private insurance carriers (not the federal government). The constant barrage of non-local TV, radio and online Medicare ads, especially during Medicare’s Open Enrollment period (October 15 to December 7), can make it hard to distinguish fact from fiction.
For reliable guidance, consult a qualified Medicare adviser who can provide personalized enrollment advice without steering you toward specific plans. They’ll help you evaluate:
• Whether the plan covers the services you need
• Your premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket costs
• Prescription drug costs
• How Medicare will work with your existing health or drug plans
• Whether you have a choice of providers or you have to stick with providers and facilities within a network
• Coverage while traveling abroad
Consulting with a legitimate Medicare expert is free. Experts offer impartial advice and ongoing support for Medicare issues, explaining details clearly and providing a broad range of options to fit your needs.
State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIP) offer free, impartial and personalized insurance counseling and assistance to Medicare-eligible individuals, their families and caregivers. Staffed by trained volunteers, SHIP programs do not sell insurance products and are available in all 50 states. A certified SHIP counselor can help you:
• Understand Medicare basics and eligibility
• Review health and prescription coverage options
• Understand Medicare out-of-pocket costs as well as programs that can help you pay for these costs
• Ensure your rights are protected under Medicare
• Refer you to other agencies for additional help, if needed
• Resolve billing issues or complaints
Free SHIP services are available in El Paso and Teller counties through the Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging.
To schedule an appointment or learn about free Medicare presentations and walk-in events, call 719-471-2096.
For assistance, call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users can call 1-877-486-2048. Support is available 24/7, except for some federal holidays. ■
Editor’s Note: At BEACON Senior News, we are committed to connecting our readers with reliable local resources. In this section, you’ll find a list of trusted Medicare experts who offer guidance, expertise and free, personalized support to help you confidently navigate your Medicare options.

Strategic planning is essential to secure a comfortable retirement, especially in today’s unpredictable economic environment. By employing effective tax strategies both before and during retirement, you can extend the longevity of your savings and reduce unnecessary tax burdens.
Here are six strategies to help lower your tax bill in retirement:
Traditional IRAs (individual retirement accounts) and 401(k)s are tax-deferred plans, meaning contributions are made with pre-tax dollars, but withdrawals are subject to income taxes. On the other hand, Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s are funded with after-tax dollars, allowing tax-free withdrawals in retirement. To minimize your annual tax burden, develop a withdrawal strategy that optimizes the timing and combination of distributions from these accounts.
Converting traditional IRAs into Roth IRAs can be a powerful tax-saving strategy. While taxes are owed on the converted amount during the year of conversion, future withdrawals will be tax-free if specific conditions are met. This strategy is especially beneficial if you anticipate a higher tax rate in retirement than during the year of conversion.
Tax-loss harvesting helps reduce taxable income by selling investments that have decreased in value to offset gains from other investments. However, it’s important to understand the “wash-sale rule,” which prohibits buying substantially identical securities within 30 days before or after the sale if you want to claim the loss.
Tax-efficient funds, such as index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), can help lower your tax obligations. These funds generally produce fewer capital gains and distribute smaller dividends than actively managed funds.
Annuities provide a steady income stream in retirement and offer tax advantages. Funds in an annuity grow tax-deferred
A well-designed tax strategy can significantly lower your tax burden in retirement and help you manage your savings more effectively.
until you begin receiving payments. At that point, part of each payment is treated as a return of principal, which is tax-free, while the remainder is taxable income.
If your estate is large enough to be subject to estate taxes, gifting during your lifetime can help reduce these taxes. You can make annual tax-free gifts up to a specific limit per recipient, reducing the value of your taxable estate. A financial or tax professional can guide you in determining the current gift tax limit and whether this strategy suits your goals.
A well-designed tax strategy can significantly lower your tax burden in retirement and help you manage your savings more effectively. While this article outlines a few potential strategies, personalized guidance from a financial or tax professional is essential to address your specific circumstances. By understanding and planning for the tax implications of your retirement assets, you can enjoy a more secure and worry-free retirement. ■
