The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Goodyear, AZ for 2024

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.

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.
