Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Marana
- While the cost of living in Marana is about 12 percent higher than the national average, this is primarily due to the high cost of housing. Health care costs are roughly 16 percent lower than the national average, which may let seniors put more money toward assisted living expenses.
- Marana receives 282 sunny days and just 11 inches of rain annually. Summer temperatures reach into the low-100s, and January lows are near 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The city's dry climate may be beneficial for seniors with arthritis or asthma.

While most assisted living communities have security systems to keep residents safe, seniors may want to keep their vehicles locked and take extra care with their belongings when they're out in the community.
- Marana seniors do not pay taxes on their Social Security benefits, but other forms of retirement income are taxed. This may affect how much money they can put in their assisted living budget.
