Legacy House of Avondale was very clean. It looked like they had the staffing needed to provide care for my sister. They are very helpful with their whole program of what they do inside that care. The other people that were there seemed clean and amicable. I really considered taking my sister there. The rooms were very clean and roomy. There was a TV in each one of the rooms. My sister would have been in a shared room, which looked very accommodating. They had a large kitchen and a seated dining table that was like a big family room. There were two or three people watching TV. There was a patio in the backyard, but nobody was out there. They answered all my questions and my concerns.

I went to Park Senior Villas – Goodyear. You couldn’t see a real unit, there was just an exemplar unit so that’s what I toured, not the actual unit itself due to Covid. The layout and everything seemed good. It seemed what I was looking for, in the sense of a smaller environment, as opposed to big apartment-style living. It was very nice. The staff was very informative, definitely passionate about what she does, and excited about the facility itself and what it has to offer. I didn’t observe the residents because of Covid, so I was only shown a paper that has the month of December activities, and there appeared to be at least four to five different things each day. Each home had a game room, or spa, or salon. Each home had one of those special rooms. When we’re not in a pandemic, the residents can go to each home and utilize those rooms. but right now, whatever amenity or extra room that’s in their unit is the one that they’ll be using. I wasn’t really able to really engage and see an actual home. The common area like the front office was clean.

The staff was extremely caring and helpful as to explaining the care they would provide as well as touring the neighborhood to show my grandmother the activities that were available in the community. This included the senior citizen center, which we were told sponsored bingo day and arts and crafts days where my grandmother would be allowed to mingle and relieve her of boredom, especially because she was unfamiliar with this specific area (She lived in East Valley originally). They also provided menu’s as to what they would be serving for the month as well as daily activities they had within the facility, specifically the finer arts like crocheting and knitting, which I was sure she will enjoy. The neighborhood is a little on the "iffy" side but the price of the facility ($1900) more than made up for those issues, as the east valley where she wanted to be was a much more expensive option that wasn’t feasible. This facility was the best choice I ever made. Overall, I’m impressed with the facility and if I were to be forced to board her up again in a facility, I’d definitely choose Angel’s Castle Care.

I would put my mother, whom I love dearly, in this home! Angie, Joe, Lulu, Cora and Grover are loving, gentle, knowledgeable and supportive care givers. They took the best care of my sister that anyone could have given. They took her knowing she only had a month or two to live. They prayed with her everyday. Not only did they take care of Kathryn, but they supported our large family during Kathryn’s last month. The home is large with lots of seating, has a beautiful backyard and spotless! I have recommended this home to several people in the last month. You can leave a loved one in their care and feel good about your hard decision.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Avondale
The Arizona Department of Health Services, Department of License Services takes care of the licensing of assisted living facilities statewide, including in Avondale. The department performs all licensing inspections and on-site surveys to ensure continued adherence to licensing standards. It also investigates any complaints lodged against a specific facility.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Avondale
- Avondale seniors greatly benefit from Arizona being one of the most tax-friendly states for retirees. Social Security benefits aren’t taxed, and as of 2021, military retirement income is tax-free. Up to $2,500 of income from federal or state government retirement plans is also tax-exempt, and the state boasts a nominal income tax rate that helps seniors keep their tax burden down.
- Arizona’s average sales tax rate statewide is 8.4%, which ranks it 11th highest in the nation. However, sales taxes aren’t quite as high in Avondale, where residents pay a total combined tax rate of 6.3%. This includes the state rate of 5.6% and the county’s rate of 0.7%. Maricopa County’s sales tax is lower than 92.3% of other cities and counties statewide, and groceries and prescription drugs are exempt from both state and local sales taxes.
- Avondale’s cost of living is just slightly lower than the national average by less than 0.5%. However, it’s about 2% lower than the state average. Health care costs are about 8% lower than the national average and 3% lower than the state average.
- Although Avondale doesn’t have a local hospital, it’s only about 2 miles to Abrazo Hospital West in Goodyear and less than 4 miles to Banner Estrella Medical Center in Phoenix. Abrazo is a general medical and surgical facility that was rated high-performing in the treatment of COPD. Banner Estrella has an on-site medical surgical ICU and emergency department and was rated high-performing in urology and the treatment of heart failure, kidney failure, stroke and pneumonia.
- Avondale’s climate is like much of the state, with mild winters and hot summers. Residents enjoy 291 sunny days per year on average and only see about 9 inches of rain, which is much lower than the national average of 38 inches. There’s no snow in Avondale, and the average overnight low in January is 43 degrees. However, the average high in July is a sweltering 106 degrees.
Paying for Assisted Living in Avondale
Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey indicates an average cost of assisted living of $3,700 for Avondale. Compared to the state average, Avondale’s average is $200 lower per month. It’s also $600 less than the national average.
The Cost of Assisted Living in Nearby Cities
Avondale’s average cost of assisted living is lower than many other Arizona cities, some by more than $1,000 per month. Avondale’s average is lower than Yuma’s by $325 per month and less than Tucson’s by $375. Compared to Prescott Valley, Avondale’s monthly average is lower by $750. However, the biggest difference is Flagstaff’s cost, which is higher than Avondale’s by $1,175 per month.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
Seniors also have access to other types of care in Avondale. For those needing limited assistance, adult day health care is the least costly at an average of $867 per month.
