Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Chandler

  • Chandler has a dry, desert climate with only 9 inches of rainfall per year and 297 sunny days. Summer temperatures can reach triple digits, but winter temperatures rarely drop below freezing, and there is no snow during mild winters.
  • Many seniors are on a fixed income, so living in Chandler may prove a bit challenging on their budget. Utilities run higher with an index of 101.6, costing more during summer when air conditioning is necessary. The average cost of living in Chandler is an index of 115.7, with the country’s average at 100. However, health care is lower at 92.5, and groceries are slightly more affordable than the national average, with an index of 99.

Chandler is considered a relatively safe city to live in or visit and is the safest city in the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler Metropolitan area.
  • Arizona is a moderately tax-friendly state for seniors and retirees. Taxes are collected on retirement income, such as IRA or 401(k) distributions. However, Social Security retirement is not taxed, and public or private pension income is only partially taxed.
