Free Assisted Living Resources in Glendale
Some resources available to seniors and their families can help cover some or all of the costs of assisted living. The examples below also include where to go for help if there are concerns about the standard of care in an assisted living facility.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| VA Aid and Attendance Benefits | (800) 827-1000 | U.S. military veterans and their spouses who reside in senior living facilities can apply for the VA Aid and Attendance benefit to help them cover some of their costs. It’s a monthly payment added to the VA pension with no requirement to pay it back. Each veteran is evaluated individually, determining monthly payments, which can be up to $1,881 for a single vet, $1,209 for a surviving spouse and $2,230 for a couple. VeteranAid.org provides a free online tool for vets to check their eligibility. |
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (888) 264-2258 | Seniors residing in assisted living facilities with concerns about their care can register complaints with the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. The ombudsman will investigate and pursue resolutions with the owners and managers of the facilities. Families and third parties can also register complaints. If the complaint implies criminality, such as elder abuse, the ombudsman will refer it to the proper authorities. |
| Medicare – SHIP | (800) 432-4040 | SHIP (State Health Insurance Program) is a free counseling service provided to Medicare beneficiaries by the Arizona Department of Economic Security. Seniors can have confidential face-to-face meetings with counselors who can help them understand their current levels of coverage and advise them on the best Medicare plans to deal with any shortfalls. Sometimes, these plans may include private health care insurance. However, the counselors won’t try to sell insurance to seniors. |
| Medicaid – Arizona Long Term Care (ALTCS) | (800) 654-8713 | The ALTCS program is part of Arizona’s Medicaid service. It can pay all or some of the assisted living costs for low-income seniors who satisfy the eligibility requirements, one of which is that they can prove that assisted living is the best type of care for their needs. The senior must be at least 65 years old, possess a social security number and have resources not exceeding $2,000 and a monthly income of no more than $2,250. |
What to Consider About Assisted Living in Glendale
The overall responsibility for ensuring assisted living facilities in Glendale operate to high standards falls to the Arizona Department of Health Services. The day-to-day management work is undertaken by the Bureau of Residential Facilities Licensing, which has the authority to take enforcement actions against facilities that repeatedly underperform. It can also make unannounced inspections.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Glendale
- According to Sperling’s Best Places, the average cost of living in Glendale is slightly above the national average of 100. The site records it at 103.7, which is also a little above the state average. However, housing and transportation are the primary drivers of the city’s cost of living figure. When comparing Glendale’s health care costs to the state and national averages, the city comes out as more affordable than both.
- Using figures from NeighborhoodScout, it can be seen that Glendale’s crime statistics make good and bad reading. On a positive note, the rate of violent crime in the city is 1 in 292, which is much safer than the state average of 1 in 220. Property crime statistics are 1 in 31, compared to the state average of 1 in 41. In Glendale, neighborhoods to the north are generally more crime-free, as is the corridor between Peoria and Maryvale; however, assisted living facilities have security features to keep residents safe.
- Many seniors in Glendale choose the city because of the weather. There’s no need to worry about sidewalks covered in snow, and the average rainfall is only nine inches (the national average is 38). Also, Glendale gets 294 days of sunshine per year, which isn’t quite all-year-round but not far from it. Although temperatures of 106 degrees Fahrenheit aren’t unusual in summer, the mild winter, spring and fall provide good climate conditions for seniors.
- Glendale’s seniors have access to a high number of Medicare registered physicians, approximately 324, including family doctors, internists and oncologists. There are also 21 hospitals within close range of the city, including the Abrazo Arrowhead Campus, ranked #7 in the state by U.S. News & World Report.
- Glendale’s seniors can get subsidized transportation from Dial-a-Ride, a door-to-door service with fares of $2, and Gus the Bus, a fixed route service that is free for seniors.
