What to Consider About Assisted Living in Cottonwood

Assisted living facilities in Cottonwood and throughout Arizona are regulated by the Arizona Department of Health Services. This office issues licenses for assisted living and other long-term care facilities throughout the state. It also conducts inspections to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Cottonwood

  • Cottonwood has a dry desert climate. With about 15 inches of precipitation each year and an average of 275 sunny days. Seniors who prefer warm weather can thrive living here. However, summer high temperatures are hot, with the average July high sitting around 100 degrees, so seeking an assisted living facility with air conditioning is important.
  • Property crime and violent crime rates in Cottonwood are above national averages. That being said, assisted living facilities provide security features such as video surveillance and locked entries to ensure the safety of residents.
  • Seniors living in Arizona experience some tax relief. The state doesn’t tax Social Security retirement benefits, and for those who own property, property taxes are low when compared with many other states. However, some retirement income, including 401(k) distributions, are taxed, and sales taxes in the state are above average.
  • Cottonwood’s air quality is considerably higher than the national average. On a scale of one to 100, the city’s air quality index is 72, which may provide some relief for seniors living with respiratory or cardiac conditions. By comparison, the average air quality index across the U.S. is just 58.
  • Cottonwood Area Transit (CAT) helps seniors safely get around in the city when other transportation options aren’t available. Those with disabilities can take CAT Paratransit, which offers shared, door-to-door service for those who live near a fixed route bus stop. Seniors and veterans are eligible for half-priced fares for both CAT fixed-route services and paratransit services.
  • Although Cottonwood is a small city, it offers plenty of options for seniors looking for entertainment. Nearby in Clarkdale, the annual Verde Valley Wine Festival keeps adults of all ages entertained with wine tastings and an array of outdoor activities. Additionally, seniors can enjoy day trips to Old Town Cottonwood, featuring quaint shops and unique eateries.
