What to Consider About Assisted Living in Scottsdale

Assisted living and other long-term care facilities in Arizona are overseen by the Arizona Bureau of Residential Facilities Licensing. This agency maintains a searchable database of facilities in Arizona that lists their deficiencies and violations actions. There is also an online complaint form for suspected violations of these facilities. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Scottsdale

  • With a daily high of 72 degrees, Scottsdale’s weather is ideal for six months out of the year. It receives significantly less precipitation than the national average and has far more sunny days. However, outdoor temperatures can soar well into the three digits in summer. Fortunately, assisted living and other senior facilities typically have state-of-the-art air conditioning units.
  • The cost of living in Scottsdale is substantially higher than the national average and the Arizona average. However, health care costs are 7.8% less than the national average, which is appealing to many seniors. 
  • Scottsdale residents enjoy a great golfing scene, with six local golf courses making Golf Magazine’s list of the country’s top 100 courses
  • HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center has been ranked by U.S News & World Report as a high performing general medical and surgical facility.
  • Arizona provides a tax-friendly environment for seniors, with no inheritance taxes and no state withholding for Social Security payments. 
  • Scottsdale and surrounding communities have long been traditional destinations for snowbirds, which means that the senior populations expands considerably during the winter months. Whether this is a plus or a minus depends on personal preference — some don’t like the crowded conditions snowbirds often bring to the picture, while others welcome the opportunity to make new friends
  • Seniors feel safe in Scottsdale because the city’s violent crime rate is far below the national average. On the other hand, the property crime rate is only just slightly below the national average.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Scottsdale

Seniors who qualify for long-term care can receive financial help for assisted living through the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS). The Arizona Long-Term Care System (ALTCS) assigns a case manager to help coordinate plans. Financial assistance may be offered through a health plan similar to an HMO or through a Medicaid demonstration waiver. Residents may be required to pay the room and board expenses out of pocket.
