How much does assisted living cost in Phoenix, AZ?

In Phoenix, the average monthly cost of assisted living is $5,032, based on A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.[01] This amount represents the starting base rent for room and board, while additional care services and certain amenities are usually billed separately. The total cost can vary depending on several factors, including the community’s location, the size and layout of the apartment, and the level of care your loved one requires.

The average monthly cost of assisted living in Phoenix is lower than both the national average of $5,909 and Arizona’s statewide average of $5,091 per month.[01] However, it’s worth noting that, according to the Economic Research Institute, the overall cost of living in Phoenix is about 9% higher than the national average, which can affect the total cost of care and everyday expenses.[02]

In Phoenix, the average starting cost of assisted living falls between independent living ($3,080 per month) and memory care ($5,971 per month). As your loved one’s care needs increase, it’s natural for overall costs to rise as well, reflecting the additional support and services provided.

How to pay for assisted living in Phoenix

Most seniors and their families in Phoenix cover assisted living costs through a combination of private and public resources — such as personal savings, proceeds from selling a home, long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, and Arizona’s Medicaid program (the Arizona Long Term Care System).

Private pay options

Families often use a combination of personal income and assets to help pay assisted living expenses. Common sources include:

In some situations, family members may also contribute to help cover monthly assisted living costs, ensuring their loved one receives the care and comfort they need.

VA benefits

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides several programs that can help eligible veterans and their surviving spouses pay for assisted living. The three most commonly used VA benefits for this purpose are:

  • Veterans Pension
  • Aid and Attendance benefits
  • Disability Compensation

In addition, surviving spouses of veterans may qualify for a Survivors Pension or Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, either of which can also help cover assisted living expenses.

Because the application process can be complex, incomplete paperwork or missing documentation can result in delays, denials, or a temporary period of ineligibility. To avoid these issues, it’s best to consult with a VA-accredited benefits counselor who can guide you through the process.

Resources for veterans in Phoenix

There are roughly 52,000 veterans living in Phoenix.[03] To support them, and their families, several area organizations provide benefits support and guidance. They include:

Medicaid

Medicaid is a federal and state program that helps provide health care coverage for individuals and families who have limited incomes. In Arizona, Medicaid is administered through the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, which oversees the Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS) — a program specifically designed to support seniors and adults who need long-term care services.[04]

ALTCS is an entitlement program, meaning that any Arizona resident who meets the eligibility criteria automatically qualifies for its benefits — there’s no cap on how many people can receive assistance. While Arizona Medicaid doesn’t pay for room and board in assisted living communities, it can help cover certain care-related services, such as skilled nursing, occupational and physical therapy, and other medical or support services provided to eligible residents in an assisted living setting.[05]

To qualify for ALTCS, an Arizona resident must:[04,05]

  • Be a United States citizen or qualified immigrant
  • Have a Social Security number or apply for one
  • Meet specific income and asset limit requirements
  • Need a nursing home level of care
  • Live in an approved setting, such as their own home or a nursing home or assisted living community that’s certified by AHCCCS

Applying for Arizona’s Medicaid program can be a detailed and sometimes challenging process, so it’s often helpful for families to seek guidance from a local Medicaid or ALTCS expert. After approval, seniors enrolled in ALTCS are assigned to a managed care organization (MCO) that helps coordinate their medical care, support services, and community resources through local providers.

Medicaid resources in Phoenix, AZ

Arizona residents can apply for ALTCS online using Health-e-Arizona Plus (HEAplus) or by calling 888-621-6880. You can also download and complete the Request For Application For Arizona Long Term Care System Form, then submit it in person at the local ALTCS office below or via fax, mail, or email.

For more detailed information or assistance applying for Medicaid, consider these local resources in Maricopa County:

Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program that provides coverage for adults ages 65 and older, as well as for younger individuals with certain disabilities or medical conditions, such as end-stage renal disease or ALS.[06] While Medicare won’t pay for assisted living or other forms of long-term care, it may help cover specific medical expenses for residents living in assisted living communities, including prescription medications, durable medical equipment, and other eligible health care services.

Unfamiliar with Phoenix? Highlights for seniors

A warm, dry climate and beautiful scenery are part of Phoenix’s appeal. Winter averages a high of 68 degrees and a low of 48 degrees, and summers are often over 100 degrees. While high temperatures may make hiking a challenge, many seniors enjoy the warmth from a shaded patio. Phoenix is also a golfer’s paradise, with over 200 golf courses within the city limits.

Phoenix has long been a relaxed retiree’s paradise, and consequently, it has some of the highest numbers of seniors in America. About 12% of Phoenix’s 1.6 million people are 65 or older, reflecting its popularity as a retirement destination.[07] This population growth has also created a greater demand for services. Once known for its low cost of living, Phoenix’s rising housing prices have increased the cost of assisted living for retirees. The median annual household income in Phoenix is approximately $77,041.[03]

Top hospitals for seniors in Phoenix

Phoenix, Arizona, is home to several top-rated hospitals.

Transportation for seniors in Phoenix

In Phoenix, 52% of A Place for Mom’s partner communities offer parking for residents who have cars. For residents who no longer drive, nearly 82% of our partner assisted living facilities provide complementary or low-cost on-site transportation services — a safe and convenient alternative to public transportation.[01]

Phoenix does provide some public transportation options. The Valley Metro Transit System, known as Valley Metro, is the regional train system that operates throughout the city between 18 and 22 hours a day. Seniors over 65 can ride for a reduced fare by completing an application on the Valley Metro website. While very affordable, wait times for the train are typically around 20 minutes or longer, which is why many residents choose to drive.

For only $2 round trip, seniors in Phoenix can use the Senior Center Shuttle Program, which provides residents of participating senior centers with flexible transportation to and from their home and nearby senior centers. Seniors can also use Dial-a-Ride to receive transportation to and from appointments.

Phoenix’s walkability and bike friendliness are rated on a scale of 0-100 by Walk Score, with 100 being the best. The most walkable Phoenix neighborhoods are Garfield, Eastlake Park, and Coronado.[08] Greater Phoenix received the following scores:[08]

Residents of Phoenix enjoy year-round sunshine and dramatic desert vistas paired with a local preoccupation for chilled-out hobbies, exciting events, and tasty food.

Outdoor activities

Phoenix is a golf lover’s paradise, but golf isn’t the only outdoor activity in Maricopa County.

  • Papago Golf Club is one of the most popular public golf courses in the city due to its picturesque backdrop of the Papago Buttes and its mid-century inspired bar and grill.
  • Desert Botanical Garden occupies a total of 140 acres, with 55 of them filled with more than 50,000 plants, including saguaro and other cacti, agave, and wildflowers.
  • Taliesin West is a UNESCO World Heritage site and architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s former home and desert laboratory.

Cultural and historical attractions

Phoenix has plenty of cultural and historical activities too, and many offer discounted admission for seniors.

  • Musical Instrument Museum, or MIM, as it’s also known, has over 4,000 musical instruments on display.
  • Heard Museum has some of the most comprehensive and respected exhibitions on Native American art and culture in the United States.
  • Orpheum Theatre is nearly 100 years old and has hosted films, music, artists, comedians, and special events.

  • S’edav Va’aki Museum, formerly known as the Pueblo Grande Museum, is home to artifacts and historical background of native Americans who lived in the area before the Europeans arrived.

Local entertainment

The Phoenix area has plenty of casinos, with gaming and world-class events. The largest is Talking Stick Resort and Casino, with 240,000 square feet of gaming space along with a luxury hotel, theater, spa, and museum of Native American art. Talking Stick and Gila River Casino offer a shuttle service to and from various locations. Many local senior living communities also organize day trips to these casinos for their residents.

Assisted living laws and regulations in Arizona

Assisted living communities are generally regulated by state governments. This means that rules and operation requirements vary by state and by the type of care a community provides. Learning about how assisted living is regulated can help you make informed care decisions.

Why do licensure and inspection reports matter to families?

State regulations — and a community’s track record with inspections and licensing — offer important insights into safety and quality of care in senior living communities.

Download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports to learn what to look for in an inspection report and what questions to ask when touring communities.
