Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Queen Creek

  • The American Lung Association gives Maricopa County, where most of Queen Creek is located, failing scores for ozone and 24-hour particle pollution. While this may be a consideration for those sensitive to air quality, assisted living facilities in Queen Creek host a variety of indoor activities throughout the year, helping older adults stay safe and healthy.
  • Queen Creek is among the most expensive places to live in Arizona. On a 100-point cost of living index, the city’s score is 30 points higher than the national average and 24 points over the state median, indicating that living costs are higher here than in most other cities. Housing costs are especially high, which may make residential community care a viable alternative to living alone.
  • Queen Creek is one of the warmer cities in Arizona, with year-round daytime temperatures ranging from 65 to 105 degrees. To help residents stay comfortable throughout the year, many local assisted living facilities equip residents’ apartments and suites with individual climate controls.
  • Queen Creek is within the Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Authority service area, providing access to reliable transportation services for those who don’t drive. It has a reduced fare program for those aged 65 and over, as well as those with Medicare cards.
  • Arizona doesn’t tax Social Security benefits, but it does impose state income taxation on all other types of retirement income. Withdrawals from investment accounts are taxed at the full rate, but seniors can claim deductions to reduce what they pay in state income tax on pension income.
  • Queen Creek is home to Banner Ironwood Medical Center, a full-service hospital that provides inpatient and outpatient services and 24-hour emergency care, and there are over three dozen more major medical facilities within driving distance of the city center. The high number of nearby hospitals makes Queen Creek a good option for assisted living residents managing chronic conditions.
