What to Consider About Assisted Living in Kingman

The Arizona Department of Health Services Bureau of Residential Facilities Licensing regulates and licenses residential care facilities, including assisted living communities. This Department performs an on-site inspection of each facility as part of a substantive review before initial licensing. It also investigates complaints made against a facility.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Kingman

  • Kingman’s climate is extremely dry, averaging only 8 inches of rain yearly, compared to the national average of 28. It’s also very sunny, with 290 sunshine-filled days compared to 205 nationally, providing seniors plenty of warm, dry days to enjoy the great outdoors. Although winters can get cold, with about 50 days of overnight lows below freezing, there’s usually no snow or nighttime temperatures below 0.
  • Older adults watching their budgets benefit from Kingman’s lower-than-average cost of living, which is lower than the national average by about 11% and the state average by 17%. Although health care costs are a bit high, seniors save money on groceries (5% lower), transportation (25% lower) and miscellaneous goods and services (20% lower) compared to the national average.
  • From a health standpoint, air quality in Kingman rates 78 out of 100, making it better than the national average of 58. However, water quality is slightly under par, scoring 50 out of 100, with the national average at 55. The city also lacks physicians, with 137 per 100,000 residents, compared to the national average of 210. Luckily, it does have a high-performing local hospital, Kingman Regional Medical Center.
  • Like the rest of Arizona, Kingman has notably low income taxes, benefiting seniors on fixed incomes. As of 2023, residents pay a flat 2.5% for state income taxes, putting Arizona among the top 10 most tax-friendly states for seniors. Older adults won’t pay income taxes on Social Security benefits or military pensions. Up to $2,500 of income from federal and designated state and local government retirement plans is also exempt.
  • Although sales taxes are notoriously high in many parts of the state, seniors in Kingman won’t have this worry. Arizona’s state sales tax rate is 5.6%, but localities can add up to 5.3%. As part of Mohave County, Kingman residents only pay an additional 0.25% in county sales taxes, but no additional city tax for a combined total of 5.85%. This rate makes sales taxes in Kingman and Mohave County lower than 98.9% of Arizona’s other cities and counties.
