Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Mesa
- Mesa has five hospitals located within a few miles of each other, including Banner Desert Medical Center, Banner Heart Hospital, Mountain Vista Medical Center, Arizona General Hospital Mesa and Banner Baywood Medical Center. Despite the number of medical facilities available, Mesa has a lower-than-average number of physicians per 100,000 residents.
- Although Mesa’s overall cost of living is higher than the U.S. average, health care costs are about 7.5% lower than the average American cities. Mesa also has lower-than-average grocery costs.
- Maricopa County has a Senior Value Protection program, which allows eligible seniors to “freeze” the value of their homes. This prevents their property tax bills from increasing until the freeze expires.
