The median monthly cost of assisted living in Arizona is $4,406, which is less expensive than the national median monthly cost of assisted living ($4,807), according to A Place for Mom’s internal data from its brand partners. For budget-conscious Arizonans, this is a respective savings of $401 a month compared to the national median.
It’s a good idea to look at median costs instead of average costs because they are not normally influenced by extreme values, such as luxury communities or ultra-budget communities. In Arizona, the 10th percentile monthly cost is only $2,995, while the 90th percentile monthly cost is $6,812.
The cost of assisted living varies from community to community. However, pricing generally takes into account the level of care required by a resident in addition to the community’s location, floor plans, services, and amenities. In Arizona, communities located in major metros tend to be more expensive than those in smaller cities and towns. While these costs may feel expensive, some residents may qualify for Medicaid or Medicare. These programs can cover some costs associated with senior living.

In Arizona, the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) provides licensure and oversight for assisted living facilities. Generally, facilities have to meet state requirements to receive initial licensing, then renew their license periodically. ADHS conducts inspections of assisted living facilities and makes inspection records available to the public.
Caregivers in Arizona’s assisted living communities must also meet specific requirements through ADHS’s Article 8 regulations. Typically, to work in an assisted living community, a caregiver must pass a state-approved training program, must complete first-aid and CPR training, and must be up to date on tuberculosis immunizations.
If you’re interested in learning more about the qualifications of caregivers, ask prospective communities about their training protocols, staff expertise, and staff certifications as these may vary beyond state minimums.
ADHS’s Article 8 regulations outline the rights of residents of assisted living communities in Arizona. These rights, as outlined in Article 8, include but are not limited to the following:
