What to Consider About Memory Care in Marana

The Arizona Department of Health Services officially licenses and regulates memory care communities in Marana as assisted living facilities. It requires them to follow standard rules for staffing and care planning and to have additional security features to promote residents’ safety. To operate, facilities must undergo a pre-licensure inspection and annual renewal inspections.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Marana

  • Arizona seniors pay state income taxes on most forms of retirement income, including distributions from pre tax retirement accounts and pension income, which may affect how much they can afford to put toward memory care costs. However, the income tax rate is modest at 2.5%, and qualified seniors can reduce their tax liability by filing for certain exemptions. The state also fully exempts Social Security benefits from taxation.
  • Marana’s proximity to Tucson gives local memory care residents access to numerous health care amenities, including Northwest Medical Center. This hospital sits about 16 miles from the city and offers specialties, such as surgical services, stroke care and orthopedics. Additionally, its primary care providers can coordinate care with neurologists to provide support and treatment for those with memory-related disorders.
  • Marana scores 97 points on a 100-point cost of living index based on national norms. This runs about 9% lower than the state average, marking the city as one of the more budget-friendly places to live in Arizona. Health care costs are especially affordable, coming in about 15% below the national norm, benefiting those managing ongoing health conditions, such as Alzheimer's.
  • Marana sees hot summers and cool winters, as well as clear skies throughout the year. The summer season spans late May through mid-September and brings average daytime highs as warm as 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The winter season lasts from late November through late February and has daytime highs of between 66 and 73 degrees Fahrenheit. To keep residents safe, especially in hot weather, local memory care communities often feature 24-hour beverage stations, unit-controlled thermostats and indoor activities.
  • In a typical year, Marana reports about 24 crimes per 1,000 residents, making it safer than about 17% of U.S. communities. The majority of criminal activity here is nonviolent, with violent offenses occurring at a frequency of 0.88 compared to the Arizona norm of 4.31. This report may provide peace of mind to families considering local memory care services.
