Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the U.S. and home to a large and expanding senior population. Maricopa County has hundreds of licensed senior care facilities, giving families abundant options.
The desert climate is a draw for many retirees, and Phoenix's relatively affordable cost of living keeps assisted living and memory care rates below national averages. Home care wages are similarly competitive.
Arizona's Long-Term Care System (ALTCS) is a Medicaid program that may help cover the costs of senior care for eligible residents. The state also has robust Veterans Administration resources given the large military retiree community.
