Part of the Phoenix metro area, Goodyear is a city 17 miles southwest of the metropolis. Approximately 15.9% of its estimated 87,000 population are in the 65+ age group, drawn in by the growing city’s excellent sporting venues, such as the Goodyear Ballpark, and the stunning background of the Estrella Mountain Regional Park. Seniors who prefer to enjoy time indoors can be found at the Brass Armadillo Antique Mall, the Bible Museum and The Market at Estrella Falls.
Assisted living can be a solution for seniors struggling with common tasks, such as cleaning their homes, but reluctant to surrender their independence. These facilities provide safe and comfortable living spaces and staff to take care of daily tasks while leaving seniors free to use their time as they wish. The 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey found that assisted living costs in Goodyear average at $3,700, below the state average of $3,900 and the national average of $4,300.
The remainder of this guide discusses senior living costs in more detail, in addition to the benefits and drawbacks of living in Goodyear. It also lists some resources that can help seniors who may be considering assisted living.
