Independent Living in Arizona
Arizona has long been a hot spot for retirees with its sunny climate, low humidity and abundance of golf courses, spas and resorts. Phoenix is Arizona’s largest metropolitan area with 1.6 million residents, and seniors make up about 18% of the state’s total population of 7.2 million. Residents across the state enjoy a reasonable cost of living that’s just 2.2% higher than the national average. Essentials, such as groceries and health care, are particularly affordable.
Retirees who are looking for a more relaxed lifestyle that gives them an opportunity to enjoy all that the state has to offer may consider moving to an independent living facility. These communities provide secure age-restricted accommodations that include maintenance and value-added recreational activities. In most cases, seniors have the option to transition to assisted living if their needs change. The average cost of independent living in Arizona is $2,535 per month, although this may vary depending on the location, amenities and accommodations.
This guide provides information about average independent living prices in Arizona, as well as popular payment methods and government-sponsored programs that serve seniors.
The Cost of Independent Living in Arizona
Note: Using the 2021 Genworth Financial Cost of Care Survey as a basis, we calculated the average cost of Independent Living by subtracting 35% from the average cost of Assisted Living. We did this because universal cost data doesn’t exist for Independent Living, and this type of senior care is usually 30-40% cheaper than Assisted Living.
While the average cost of Independent Living in Arizona is lower than the national average by $325 per month, it lands about in the middle when compared to the costs of surrounding states. California, Colorado and New Mexico all have higher Independent Living costs, at an average of $3,413, $3,088 and $2,924, respectively. Alternately, Nevada’s state average of $2,438 is lower than Arizona’s as is Utah’s average of $2,275.
When comparing Independent Living costs in the bigger, more popular cities in Arizona, many of them had a higher average compared to the state’s overall average. Flagstaff’s average was higher by $650, Lake Havasu City was higher by $455 and Prescott Valley was higher by $325. While Tucson’s average was close at just $33 higher, Phoenix’s average was lower by $16, and Yuma’s was lower by $130.
Independent Living works well for seniors who don’t require additional care. It’s the lowest cost option, at $2,600, except for Adult Day Health Care, which runs $2,012 but doesn’t offer a residential setting. Assisted Living is the next level up from Independent Living and costs an average of $4,000 in Arizona, and Nursing Home Care is the highest level and averages $8,030 for a private room or $6,540 for a shared one. Seniors can also opt to receive care at home with In-Home Care averaging $2,102 and Home Health Care averaging $5,434.
Can You Use Medicare or Medicaid to Pay for Independent Living in Arizona?
Unfortunately, you cannot use Medicaid and Medicare to help pay the monthly fee for residing in an Independent Living community. For seniors who need help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), there may be financial assistance programs available to help cover the cost of care in Independent Living. For more information about financial assistance for those who need a higher level of care, read our guide to Assisted Living in Arizona.
Read on for more information about using alternative means to make Independent Living more affordable, such as retirement funds, the sale of a home, etc.
Paying for Independent Living in Arizona
Paying for independent living is slightly different than assisted living or in-home care since providers offer accommodations but not direct personal assistance. Typically, accommodations must be paid for privately using funds from retirement accounts, pensions or a reverse mortgage. If seniors need help with meal preparation, errands or transportation and can receive these services in an independent living community, long-term care insurance can help. Medicare may also pay for some health care services provided in a residential setting. For more details, see our guide to independent living.

These include home-delivered meals, USDA-backed nutritional assistance, legal advice, elder abuse prevention and family caregiver supports. Seniors may also qualify for home- and community-based services through Medicare or Medicaid.

Arizona has eight Area Agencies on Aging, including the Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona, that serve seniors and disabled adults in designated geographic regions. These signposting agencies direct seniors and caregivers to government programs and service providers in their communities. Its areas of focus include in-home care, transportation, nutrition, chronic disease management and supports for unpaid caregivers. These services are available to residents aged 60 and older and those who require a nursing home level of care but want to live independently in the community.
(602) 542-6454 ext. 9
The state’s long-term care ombudsman can help seniors who are planning to move to an independent or assisted living facility make informed decisions about their options. It works with current and prospective long-term care residents to help them understand their rights and form family councils or other advocacy groups. The ombudsman program also provides a forum where residents can voice concerns about the quality of care they’re receiving.
(866) 429-8387
Be Connected is an information and referral service that assists veterans and their family members. Counselors can help residents access local and federal benefits, such as health care, psychological services, transportation and pensions. Residents who have served in the military or have a service-related disability may qualify for additional benefits, such as tax breaks. Funds from some of these programs are intended to support individuals who require personal care or assistance from home health aides.
(800) 432-4040
This free service provides answers to all types of Medicare-related questions. It helps with plan comparisons, coverage information and financial benefits that can reduce premiums and prescription drug costs. The Division of Aging and Adult Services also manages the state’s Senior Medicare Patrol, which helps seniors detect and report billing errors to prevent fraud and reduce unnecessary health care spending.
(602) 534-7436

Holiday Madison Meadows was a cute place. The people were very nice. Some of the residents were quite satisfied there, and some were not. I think a lot of that probably has to do with it being understaffed. They didn’t have many activities because they currently don’t have an activities director. They also don’t have a driver currently, so transportation is not available. Their food situation was pretty limited. There were some things in the facility that could be updated.

I did a tour of The Palazzo. They weren’t as good of a financial deal because they are not offering as much food. You just had a continental breakfast, and then one other meal and that was it. So, it was more expensive. It was a pretty place; it looked like it’d be very nice, but I wanted a little more stuff done for me if I don’t want to have to cook. They’re not enough meals. The Continental Breakfast, to me, is a roll and coffee or something. That’s usually what a continental means, it’s just something to eat with. They go for coffee, and maybe juice, and then just one other meal. I would have to figure out what to do for myself.
I believe the room was very nice; the grounds and everything was nice. I noticed the lobby area was very attractive. The staff was very knowledgeable, very good. The facility is very beautiful. I thought it was very well-kept and a very impressive place, but my immediate feeling was that I didn’t think I could afford it.

In general, I like La Siena. I like the location in particular. I was hoping the workout room would have heavier exercise equipment like at the YMCA or something like that, but I was overall impressed. We would like to have sampled the food there to get an idea about what the cuisine is, but we didn’t have a chance to do that. They said that if we came back, we could arrange such a thing.
I was impressed with the facility, especially independent living would be my choice. The rooms were nice and they would be comfortable to live in. They each have balconies, some have good views, others none. I think there’s cable TV as well as an internet connection.
Everyone seemed very friendly and informative. In general, I noticed that even the residents seemed to be friendly and it’s a good environment. It’s a full facility, so it had a bar, a library, meeting areas, and so forth. It’s self-enclosed, so everything was accessible. From reading the literature they handed out, they have organized activities. I put my mother years ago in an assisted living place and I was impressed with that and this is comparable. The expense is one of the considerations. It requires a deposit of one month and it’s not recoverable. That’s a big given expense, but it’s a nice place.
Jessie was the only one I talked to and he was cooperative and friendly. Our tour was at 11:00 in the morning and we were figuring maybe that would include lunch, not that we wanted to, but that would be an important factor to consider. We were disappointed that my ex-wife even asked for lunch and they said they couldn’t do it that day. That was disappointing because that is a part of how you would evaluate a place. I think that was a mistake perhaps on their part.

The Beatitudes Campus community was great. I was able to tour it in person. The staff was amazing. They were all very helpful. The facilities were nice, not extravagant. They offer quite a few activities for people, but my brother doesn’t do those because he’s very active. They have a wood shop, but there’s nothing they do with mechanical things or cars for the guys, which was what my brother would have liked. The restaurants looked great, they had their own little bar, they had a coffee shop and a nice restaurant. It’s a very nice facility and very welcoming, the people were awesome. The 1-bedroom apartment was very nice, they had balconies, a little kitchen, and the bathroom was all redone. Before every client moves in, it’s refurbished and the carpet is replaced with flooring.
The only thing I can say is that some of the buildings were older. There was no air conditioning in the hallways because it’s a 1960s building. They were also building newer buildings, but they might want to look about upgrading the 1960s buildings too. If they could have upgraded interiors and air-conditioned hallways, that would be better. The grounds were kept beautifully, everything seemed clean and the pool looked great. It looked well maintained and taken care of. They’re awesome. They were so forgiving when my brother decided not to make the final appointment after filling out his paperwork. They were polite and accepting. The campus is the real green area but once you’re outside, it’s more urban. They had a secure gate to protect independent living residents’ vehicles and things.

They’re very attentive to the people that live there, and they’re very good about getting them anything that they need. Also with COVID, they’re very cautious. Any time that anyone tests positive, they send out an email telling us that someone has tested positive and to please refrain from visiting until they test clear. The meals are medium, my mom is fine with it but it’s not like a formal dining room. They have a full menu, and the meals are more like a sandwich in a bag. They have church and activities, although my mom does her own activities and goes out a lot. Some units have an outdoor area and some units don’t because part of it is desert and part of it is green grass. The overall facility is very nice and pretty inexpensive. The staff is very good.

The attitude of Fellowship Square of Phoenix was so far superior. Other facilities just looked at me as though I’m just a person they had to make a sale to. In this place, it’s a whole different attitude. They even had a welcome sign with my name on it.
When you first drive in, the first thing you notice is the various buildings and curved pathways. There were trees, grasses, a pond, and a place to sit and listen to a babbling brook. The design of the building has arches, including the windows, and it’s just not institutional looking at all. It’s very, very friendly, and inviting. The bedrooms are adequate sizes and the bathrooms seemed great with bars in it. Everything’s in COVID, so things have been kind of shut down, but they have speakers that come in, films to watch, craft activities, book clubs, card playing, and a library. They also take them on trips to the grocery store, to the doctors, and sometimes to restaurants.
The staff was outstanding. We’ve bumped into various people and they would stop and talk to you. They were very friendly and all said that they loved it there, and that it was the best place to live. The residents liked it as well, and they stopped and talked to the staff too, so that was very impressive, that the staff was interested in the residents, and the residents felt comfortable talking to them, even though they might have somebody that they were showing around. They also have casitas as well as the buildings. I looked at both, but I was more interested in an individual casita, and having that kind of independence would be very nice.

The bedrooms are adequate sizes and the bathrooms seemed great with bars in it. Everything’s in COVID, so things have been kind of shut down, but they have speakers that come in, films to watch, craft activities, book clubs, card playing, and a library. They also take them on trips to the grocery store, to the doctors, and sometimes to restaurants.
The staff was outstanding. We’ve bumped into various people and they would stop and talk to you. They were very friendly and all said that they loved it there, and that it was the best place to live. The residents liked it as well, and they stopped and talked to the staff too, so that was very impressive, that the staff was interested in the residents, and the residents felt comfortable talking to them, even though they might have somebody that they were showing around. They also have casitas as well as the buildings. I looked at both, but I was more interested in an individual casita, and having that kind of independence would be very nice.

They gave me a tour at Liv Generations, and I ate lunch there. The food was OK. I saw the size of the different bedrooms and I saw the people. The rooms are all the same.

I visited Phoenix Manor for myself and my husband. It was very clean, very friendly, and it had everything we needed. The staff was really friendly, and very helpful. Everything looked really good, and that’s why we liked it. Pets were OK, and I believe they have a dog park, which was one thing we were looking for because we have two small dogs. They have a library, and they have activities for the community. They give you a calendar, and it’s got different activities that you can participate in. I think there was bingo, arts and crafts, and stuff like that. They have a big fountain type pond out in front with ducks in it, and it’s really nice. We saw the apartment, and we were going to get into a two-bedroom unit, so it was really good for what we needed.

My mom moved to Glencroft Center for Modern Aging. It seems to be laid out well and offers a lot of activities for people to choose from if they desire to. The food is good. It seems like it’s also multifaceted having assisted living, independent living, and all that kind of stuff. It offers just about everything you could possibly need.
My mom is in their independent living. I don’t recall much of what the activities are, but they seem to be things that older people would be interested in or even people my age.
I know they have someone come in to do your hair and your nails. A podiatrist also comes in; I think once a week or twice a week. They have a community store that’s open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. They have transportation to take you to and from Wal-Mart or places that have other stores in it.
Her room is good. She’s in a studio that has no carpet, which is good because it’s a lot easier to clean up. It also seems big enough for her. It has a living area, a kitchen, and a bedroom.

The dining area looked nice, it looked like a nice area. The surroundings were nice, it was pretty. It seemed like a nice place. She told me there were a lot of activities, a lot of stuff to do.
