Locals benefit from the Kingman Regional Medical Center, ranking above average for its care in heart failure, kidney failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The city's cost of living is far more affordable than the state and nation, although health costs are relatively high.
Housing is a major contributor to Kingman's overall affordability. the city's nursing homes, which cater to those needing continuous, comprehensive medical care, are also priced relatively low at an average of $5,962 per month. However, seniors who can live comfortably and safely in a more independent setting might find home health care or assisted living to be more appealing options.
