Arizona’s senior-friendly climate isn’t the only reason an above-average 18% of its almost 7.3 million residents are in the 65+ age group. The state offers generous property tax credits for seniors with incomes below the minimum thresholds and doesn’t tax Social Security benefits. Arizona also boasts several nationally ranked hospitals, including Mayo Clinic-Phoenix and the Banner Boswell Medical Center in Sun City.
Excellent care isn’t restricted to hospitals. Many agencies help seniors age safely and comfortably at home. The average cost of In-Home Care in Arizona is $5,339. A bit more on average, Home Health Care fees are $5,434 per month. In-Home Care is a non-medical service that typically involves supporting seniors with dressing, bathing and cleaning their homes. Home Health Care is a medical service delivered by skilled nurses and therapists who deal with clinical issues, such as seniors recovering from surgery or managing long-term health issues such as arthritis.
This guide reviews home care costs in and around Arizona and the roles played by Medicaid and Medicare. It also lists some useful resources for homebound seniors and their families.
The Cost of In-Home Care in Arizona
Figures published in the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey show Arizona to be mid-range in cost terms for In-Home Care services. It’s costlier than the national average of $4,957 by around $382 per month, although not as expensive as some neighboring states. For example, a senior in Utah is likely to pay around $5,625 per month for In-Home Care services, while in California, fees rise to $6,101. Nevada is a more affordable alternative to Arizona, with fees averaging $5,148. New Mexico is even more competitive, with a median fee of $4,605.
Location is a factor in fees for In-Home Care services in Arizona. In Yuma, for example, it’s common for agencies to charge around $4,290 per month for their services, while in Flagstaff, it’s $6,673 for generally similar services. Phoenix is at the costlier end of the spectrum too, at $5,958, while in Tucson, fees drop to around $5,434 and in Prescott Valley, $5,053.
In addition to location, the frequency of services provided and the type of care delivered also factor in overall costs. Adult day health care facilities have the lowest expenditure so they offer care for around $2,102. Assisted living facilities provide accommodation and care for approximately $4,000 per month in Arizona. Agencies are more costly at $5,339 for In-Home Care and $5,434 for Home Health Care. At $6,540 per month, nursing home care is the most expensive due to the hospital-level care and narrower staff-to-resident ratios than those found in assisted living facilities.

Does Medicaid Cover Home Care in Arizona?
Arizona has a Medicaid program officially known as the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), which can help pay home care costs for qualifying Arizona residents. Seniors have access to the AHCCCS through a program called Arizona Long Term Care Services, which is also known as the Elderly and Physical Disability Program.
Home Waiver Programs in Arizona
Arizona Long Term Care Services (ALTCS)
You will often find Arizona Long Term Care Services referred to by its acronym, ALTCS (pronounced ALL-TECS). Its purpose is to pay for long-term care services for seniors who meet the financial eligibility requirements and score 60 points or more on their medical assessments (which are designed to determine the senior’s ability to perform everyday activities without assistance). Although the program can pay for nursing home care, it can also pay for In-Home and Home Health Care services, such as home-delivered meals and skilled nursing. Everyone who satisfies the eligibility criteria qualifies for support.
Successful applicants develop long-term care plans with caseworkers. This approach has some flexibility as the senior can choose what’s known as an ‘Agency of Choice’ or opt for ‘Self-Directed Attendant Care’. The former option lets seniors choose their own caregivers from an authorized agency without needing to be their caregiver’s employer. The latter option effectively makes the senior the employer, with the ability to hire, fire and train their caregiver. A Fiscal Employer Agent is assigned by the Department of Economic Security to help the senior negotiate the complexities of being an employer. The Self-Directed Attendant Care option is popular with seniors as it allows a family member to be the paid caregiver.
To be eligible for ALTCS, the applicant must be aged 65 or older and have a recognized physical or mental disability that would justify nursing home care. The applicant must also have an income no greater than 300% of the Federal Benefit Rate. To apply, seniors can either call (888) 621-6880 or contact their nearest ALTCS office.
How to Know If You’re Eligible for Medicaid in Arizona
As of 2022, a single applicant’s annual income can’t exceed $30,276 in Arizona. If both spouses in a two-person household apply, it’s $60,552. Countable income includes social security pensions, SSI payments, Veterans’ pension and compensation, disability income and immediate annuities. Countable assets include checking and savings accounts, real property (although not the applicant’s current address, unless its value exceeds $603,000), the cash value of insurance policies, stocks and non-exempt vehicles. There is a 60-month look-back period for all assets to determine if the applicant has undersold or gifted assets in anticipation of a future Medicaid claim.

The American Council on Aging website is a privately-funded resource that provides free information for seniors who want to know more about Arizona's Medicaid prior to submitting an application. Its content is written by experienced Medicaid planning and legibility professionals who cover more than just the basics. However, due to the site's design, it can't provide in-depth detail but is a useful tool for seniors at the start of their research.
The Arizona Center for Disability Law is a nonprofit law firm specializing in helping disabled citizens get necessary benefits, which includes seniors who have been denied Medicaid. The firm operates out of 3 offices — Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff. Their attorneys and paralegals inform, educate and advocate for disabled seniors in a range of civil law matters, such as pursuing the right to devices for those denied assistive technologies.
AZ Links is the Aging and Disability Resource Center for the entire state. Its purpose is to connect seniors and caregivers with the resources they need, including where to get advice and support regarding Medicaid. The AZ Links screening tool is a quick way to identify all the free resources available to seniors in their areas.
Does Medicare Cover In-Home Care in Arizona?
In general, Medicare does not cover the cost of non-medical home care. That being said, there are situations in which Medicare provides some coverage for medical home care, referred to as “Home Healthcare.” There are several eligibility restrictions for coverage, including that individuals must be homebound and have a referral from their doctor specifically for home healthcare services.
Below is an overview of some of the skilled medical professionals whose in-home services are typically covered by Medicare – for more in-depth information, refer to our Guide to Home Healthcare.
- Physical Therapists: Physical therapy is used to help patients recover from injuries (broken bones, knee injuries, etc.), treat ongoing conditions such as arthritis, and assist in recovery from surgeries and procedures such as a knee or hip replacement.
- Visiting Nurses: Licensed nurses can provide a number of medical services for those who don’t need to stay in the hospital, but do need regular medical services such as wound care, changing feeding tubes, etc.
- Occupational Therapists: Occupational therapists help seniors regain or maintain the ability to accomplish normal, daily tasks, such as bathing, dressing, eating, and other daily activities.
- Speech Therapists: Speech therapists help seniors who are struggling to adequately communicate due to a stroke, dementia, or any other cause regain the ability to functionally communicate using a variety of means. Additionally, speech therapists help to keep seniors independent by modifying diets, teaching special techniques to swallow safely, and retraining associated muscles.
As mentioned above, in-home care is distinctly different from home healthcare. But, there can be some overlap in services between the two types of care. So, while Medicare doesn’t cover non-medical in-home care, there are in-home care services that may be covered in special circumstances when they’re provided in conjunction with home healthcare (such as an occupational therapist helping with eating or dressing)
Other Financial Assistance Options for In-Home Care in Arizona
While the above programs help many people finance in-home care, they will not cover all costs for everyone. There are other ways to pay for in-home care, including out-of-pocket arrangements with siblings, annuities, reverse mortgages, private insurance and more. Read Caring.com’s Guide to In-Home Care Costs to learn more about these alternative payment options.
Free and Low-Cost Resources for Seniors in Arizona

The purpose of the Weatherization Assistance Program is to make homes safer for successful applicants and lower the costs of heating and cooling their homes. The program is open to all state homeowners and renters who meet the financial eligibility criteria and will cover all costs relating to work recommended in the energy audit report. This may mean installing installation throughout the property, tuning up the HVAC system, fitting shades to sun-exposed windows, repairing faults causing air infiltration/leakage and installing features that improve water efficiency.
The Section 504 Home Repair Program provides loans and grants to homeowners on low incomes, enabling them to make their homes safer and more comfortable. To qualify for a loan, the homeowner must occupy the property and be unable to get credit elsewhere. Be advised there are income limits. Loans of up to $40,000 are available on 1% fixed interest terms over periods of up to 20 years. Grant applicants must be 62+ and unable to repay a loan to be eligible for up to $10,000.
The Low Income Household Water Assistance Program contributes to the costs of water and wastewater services for homeowners and renters across the state. The program's scope includes helping to restore disconnected water services, assisting with paying bills past their due date and supporting seniors with future water costs. To qualify, applicants must be U.S.citizens (or legal aliens) residing in the state and have gross household incomes not exceeding 60% of Arizona's median income. Although the program is open to all, it prioritizes residents aged 60 and older, those with disabilities as well as people whose water bills absorb more than 5% of their monthly income.
The home-delivery meal program is financed primarily by the Department of Economic Security and administered locally by the Area Agencies on Aging. The program's purpose is to provide nutritious and healthy meals to eligible seniors who may otherwise be unable to afford or access good quality food.
Maricopa and Pima Counties
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compels public transportation providers with fixed routes to provide low-cost curb-to-curb or door-to-door paratransit programs. In Arizona, providers of ADA ride services include Valley Metro's Dial-A-Ride, which covers much of Maricopa County, and the Sun Tran and Sun Link services which serve many parts of Pima County.
COVID-19 Rules for In-Home Care Providers in Arizona
The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare have mandated that all health care workers in Arizona be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have initiated an enforcement policy with a final cut-off date of April 14, 2022. Seniors in Arizona may recall Governor Doug Ducey signed an executive order banning government employees from COVID-19 mandates, but this order does not include home care workers. It may be prudent for seniors and family members concerned about the vaccination status of home care workers to contact their agency for confirmation. Generally, it’s good to ask for regular updates, as some agencies may have additional safety measures in place and COVID-19 rules and regulations are still evolving.
In-Home Care Laws and Regulations in Arizona
The state of Arizona does not license home care agencies. Provided the services offered by agency caregivers is nonmedical in nature, agencies are not subject to direct state oversight. Nonmedical home care agencies in the state may voluntarily seek certification from the Arizona In-Home Care Association (AIHCA), a private industry organization that maintains quality of care standards. In addition to AIHCA requirements, individual caregivers are still subject to state laws for background screening and training.

I would like to share my families experience with Preferred Care at Home of Scottsdale. Our family tried to keep our mom at home when she was developing Alzheimer’s, thinking that was the best thing. We all traded off the days of care but it became evident that mom wasn’t really getting the best of care because we had jobs, business deadlines we had to meet, along with our own families to care for. Therefore, we started the task of finding a care at home business that was up to our expectations for her care. We had heard of Preferred Care at Home of Scottsdale from some of our friends and set up a meeting with them. Sherman G, the owner, met with us and answered all of our questions, plus gave us a couple of references to talk to. Well, after that, we were satisfied that this company would be a great company to care for our mom. They cared for our mom for several years until the time came when she had to have greater care in an assisted living facility. Preferred Care at Home of Scottsdale deserves a 5 star rating as to the complete care they gave to our mother plus the caregivers that gave her such wonderful care.

I would like to share my families experience with Preferred Care at Home of Scottsdale. Our family tried to keep our mom at home when she was developing Alzheimer’s, thinking that was the best thing. We all traded off the days of care but it became evident that mom wasn’t really getting the best of care because we had jobs, business deadlines we had to meet, along with our own families to care for. Therefore, we started the task of finding a care at home business that was up to our expectations for her care.

The people at Griswold Home Care have been nothing short of amazing.
My mom was adamantly opposed to having people in her house when she got home from the hospital, and it took quite a bit of convincing to get her on board. Now she doesn’t want them to leave!
Not only did they provide immediate (same day) care under stressful circumstances, they have far exceeded all of our expectations with regards to her personal care, keeping us aprised of day-to-day events (we all live out of state), recommendations for additional and alternative solutions and making my Mom feel safe and well cared for. We will always be grateful to the people at Griswold.

We have been using Home instead in Fountain Hills for over a year now. My husband is confined to a wheelchair and I have them come in twice a week to help with transferring for his shower. One of those days the caregiver also changes our bedding, and will change the furnace filter once a month (ladder involved) or anything I may have for him to do. He also stays with my husband so I’m free to go for lunch or shopping. He will help with exercises and will play cribbage with him. On that day he is here for 3-1/2 hours. If there is a problem with scheduling, either way, the staff works with us to accommodate our needs. They are always courteous and punctual, we are very happy with them and the services provided .

My caregiver, Gabby, from Kindred at Home is absolutely perfect. She has exceeded my expectations in every way. She has been the single most best person that I have had helping me. She’s extremely professional and extremely well trained in her procedures (since I am in a wheelchair), with bathing, showering, shampooing, skincare, everything. She goes the extra mile and does a fabulous job of cleaning out everything in the house.
I’m quite pleased with her and I wish I could have her with me 24/7. I had one evening with another person that was not of a size that could help me very well, but Gabby has been great. Since she won’t be working in the next two days, I’m hoping I will have equal quality care with the next providers from their caregivers. Gabby will come back Friday and start with her new schedule of 6:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
We were able to get the care started two days after I was released from the hospital. Everything has been smooth (thanks to Kindred at Home), when it comes to procedures and arrangements in getting someone quickly. We have a service dog, so the person needs to love dogs. My dog has taken to Gabby and they play and have a good time and she gets to go out regularly to go to the bathroom. Since we were in a condo, you have to go across the parking lot and up the hill for the area for the pets, so it’s not an easy job, and she could not be better at it.
