READ MOREThe 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.
The 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey for 2020 survey revealed that not only does Glendale have the most competitive assisted living fees in the state, at $3,700, but that costs between various senior care services in the city can be radically different. Glendale is also $600 lower than the national average and $200 lower than the state average.
Sierra Vista’s fees of $4,000 per month come closest to those of Glendale, while Yuma and Tucson’s seniors can expect to pay an additional $25 and $75 per month, respectively. Prescott Valley’s seniors have the most expensive costs in the state, with fees of $4,450 being normal.

Able-bodied seniors can get adult day health care services for $867 per month. Despite assisted living providing accommodation with care, its average fees of $3,700 are significantly lower than home and home health care. Housebound seniors typically pay $5,148 for home care, while the addition of limited medical care sees their costs rise to an average of $5,243. Due to their intensive levels of care, nursing homes have the highest costs at $9,247 for a semiprivate room and $10,646 for a private room.

Low-income seniors residing in Glendale have access to three programs that could help pay for assisted living, including Arizona Non-Medical, Home and Community Based Services, Supplemental Security Income and Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, which is Arizona’s Medicaid program.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Arizona page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
For more information about different ways to finance assisted living, visit our Assisted Living in Arizona page.
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. |
Glendale-area assisted living communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all assisted living communities in Arizona are required to follow. Visit our Assisted Living in Arizona page for more information about these laws.
