Chandler is a large suburban city just southeast of Phoenix. It has over 260,000 residents, 11% of whom are seniors. The city offers affordable health care and is home to the Chandler Regional Medical Center, a high-performing hospital in multiple adult specialties.
Older adults who need around-the-clock medical monitoring may require nursing home care, which is the highest level of care available outside a hospital. Nursing homes are staffed with licensed medical professionals and offer 24-hour skilled nursing services, personal care, meals and recreational activities. According to the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey, nursing home care in Chandler is expensive at $9,247 per month. Older adults who need short-term skilled nursing or only require assistance with daily living activities can save thousands of dollars by opting for assisted living or in-home care.
This guide provides in-depth information on monthly nursing home costs in Chandler along with the costs of alternative care options. It also summarizes some of the local agencies and programs that serve seniors.

Father in law stayed here and was transported by emergency to Chandler Regional hospital by ambulance. The following day family went to this place to collect his wedding ring, watch, cell phone and wallet (cash, credit cards and drivers license). None of this or his belongings were here nor did ANYONE have a process or procedure to secure personal possessions when residents are transported away in an emergency. My father in law passed away days later and still no one at this place has any procedure for this tragedy should this occur again.. If your loved ones stay here, watch your valuables.

The car light could be on for 45 minutes before anyone would come and see me. I had two great nurses while I was there but that was it. Most of the staff could care less about patients . If you love your family member, don’t let them be sent here.

If this place is understaffed, then they need to get their sh*t together. If he is being neglected, then other patients are as well. I would strongly advise AGAINST leaving a loved one here for any kind of care. If you have someone in this facility, plan on doing their care yourself.

The rooms we saw were big. She likes to cook and she looked in and saw that the kitchen at her apartment is nice. There’s also a nice little dining area so that she can sit and eat. There’s also a wonderful large balcony area that mom could sit in, so she’d feel comfortable sitting in her own home and still getting fresh air without getting out. They have more of the activities that she’s looking for like water aerobics. Our main deciding factor was the price.

My mother came to Wellsprings after a hospitalization. While the hospital was never able to identify what caused her incredible pain. This Hospitalization and her recovery at Wellsprings was a pivot point in her care. When she left the hospital she could/would barely move. The 2nd day at Wellsprings and the staff had her up and walking a few steps. The support and encouragement was absolutely perfect for mother. While being firm with their requests they always "LISTENED" to what she was telling them. On many occasions I witnessed the aids use a distraction method of Singing to her that not only showed their love and caring side, but also showed that they knew what they were doing. This worked nearly every time to divert her attention away from her pain or insistence that "She couldn’t" to showing her that she could. If anyone wants a true understanding of the dedication of our Healthcare workers, I would say to stay a day in this facility and you will understand that they do it for the love, not for the money. I will end by saying that mother was at Wellsprings over Thanksgiving and we ate our Holiday dinner with her there. I believe that EVERY staff member including the leadership was there on the Holiday. It was one of the BEST meals I have every eaten. Kudos to a fantastic facility.

Rooms are cold, dull. Shared bathrooms with room on the other side. So, if you need a raised toilet, you’ll be moving it yourself over the toilet every time you go…since not everyone else sharing with you will want it. Every time someone opens the bathroom door in my room they knock the TV on the wall crooked…so it’s hard to watch.
My interactions with most staff are Pretty good. Weekend evening staff were not as good. One night staff person can’t even do a bedpan right— gets me soaked every time…then they wonder why my skin itches.
One time I told her my skin itched all over and in a nasty tone, she responded, well what do you want me to do about?! As if it wasn’t her job. Then she goes out in the hall and tells the nurse I’m nasty! I heard her say that! The nurse argued with her and finally I got medication for my skin.
The food here sucks! No seasoning at all! Today the fries weren’t cooked, but I got a lecture for mentioning it. Yesterday my breakfast sausage was rock hard. They seem to prefer kool-aid over real juice— you have to use the same straw for all your drinks.
For activities, all the therapists are good…but theirs are the only activities I’ve experienced. If there are others they haven’t included me.
As far as amenities, they have a gym…only thing I know about.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Chandler, AZ
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
Free Resources for Seniors in Chandler, AZ
Seniors in Chandler have access to services from several local agencies and nonprofit organizations that can help them identify their care needs and arrange for services that may allow them to avoid or postpone nursing home placement. The following table provides contact information for these local resources as well as agencies that can help older adults identify ways to pay for care when placement is necessary.
The local Area Agency on Aging administers free and low-cost programs to older adults in and around Chandler, including home-delivered meals, transportation, minor home repairs and some personal care services that may enable older adults to remain in their homes. The agency also serves as the region’s long-term care ombudsman by advocating on behalf of those who reside in nursing homes. Seniors can contact the ombudsman for help resolving issues related to quality of care, excessive or insufficient services and intake or discharge procedures.
Ability360 Home Care Services is a nonprofit organization that provides home-based services to qualifying individuals through the state’s Medicaid program. This agency offers respite services, personal care, companionship, supervision and light housekeeping and laundry. Services are available at no cost for qualifying individuals with Medicaid, and private pay options are available to those without Medicaid.
Maricopa County’s Senior & Adult Services Division serves those aged 60 and over through case management. Its goal is to help older adults obtain community-based services that may enable them to remain at home, including home-delivered meals, transportation, in-home skilled nursing and personal care.
The Chandler Senior Center provides community-based services that may enable older adults to avoid nursing home placement. These services include free medical screenings, blood pressure checks, nonemergency transportation and home-delivered or congregate meals. The center also has a benefits assistance program that screens older adults for programs that may help cover nursing home care, including Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid.
The VA Phoenix Regional Office provides in-person and over-the-phone benefits assistance to help veterans determine whether they qualify for programs that may cover nursing home care. The office can also help eligible veterans obtain VA health insurance, medical care and veterans’ home placement.
