How much does independent living cost in Scottsdale, AZ?

In Scottsdale, the average monthly cost of independent living is $4,091, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.[01] This cost reflects typical starting rates in the area, though your actual monthly expenses may vary depending on the apartment size and layout you select, the amenities and services included in your community, and the neighborhood’s overall cost of living.

According to the Economic Research Institute, the overall cost of living in Scottsdale is significantly higher than both the national and Arizona state averages.[02] However, the cost of independent living in Scottsdale is slightly lower than the national average of $4,235 and on par with the Arizona statewide average of $4,047, helping your dollar stretch even farther.[01]

In Scottsdale, independent living usually costs more than assisted living, which averages $3,914 per month, because assisted living communities often charge separately for care services, while independent living typically includes most services and amenities in one monthly fee. Independent living remains more affordable than memory care, which averages about $4,773 per month, making it a strong option for older adults who want a maintenance-free lifestyle and don’t need specialized cognitive care.

How to pay for independent living in Scottsdale

Because independent living focuses on community, lifestyle, and convenience and not on medical or personal care, most residents pay out of pocket. Insurance and government programs typically don’t cover these costs, since independent living communities don’t include health or personal care services as part of their standard offerings.

Private pay options

Personal income and assets that families often use to pay for independent living include:

VA benefits

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers several programs that may help eligible veterans and surviving spouses manage the cost of independent living and enjoy a more comfortable, maintenance-free lifestyle. Benefit programs that may apply include:

If you’re planning to use VA benefits, it can help to gather your paperwork early and speak with a VA-accredited benefits counselor, who can guide you through the application process and help make sure you receive all the support you qualify for.

Resources for veterans in Scottsdale

For the almost 12,000 veterans who live in Scottsdale,[03] the following organizations and agencies provide invaluable support, guidance, and resources.

Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps eligible individuals pay for certain long-term and health care services. Although it does not cover room and board in an independent living community, it may help pay for medically necessary in-home support for those who qualify and need some assistance while living there.

In Arizona, Medicaid is called the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS). AHCCCS does not pay for independent living expenses such as rent or meals, but if unexpected health or personal care needs arise, its programs can help eligible seniors with those costs through:{{citations:4,5,6}}

  • Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS)
  • Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) through ALTCS
  • Aged, Blind, and Disabled (ABD) Medicaid program

ALTCS provides coverage for eligible seniors who need a nursing home level of care. Unlike some waiver programs in other states, ALTCS is an entitlement program, meaning eligible individuals are not placed on a waitlist.

Services typically covered include:

  • Help with activities of daily living (ADLs)
  • Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
  • Skilled nursing care
  • Recreational programs
  • Transportation
  • Daily meals
  • Housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation

Eligibility for AHCCCS and ALTCS is based on both medical and financial factors.

Medicaid resources in Scottsdale, Arizona

To apply for Medicaid (AHCCCS) in Scottsdale, Arizona, seniors can:

If you have questions about Arizona’s Medicaid program or if you need help completing, updating, or checking the status of a loved one’s application, contact one of the organizations below:

Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for adults 65 and older, as well as for younger individuals who qualify due to certain disabilities or medical conditions.[07] Although Medicare won’t cover independent living itself, it can help cover medically necessary products and services your doctor orders while you live in a community, such as doctor visits, prescriptions, and approved durable medical equipment.
