Nestled between two suburban cities just northwest of Phoenix, Peoria is a bedroom community with nearly 191,000 residents, 17.5% of whom are seniors, slightly higher than the national average. Peoria offers easy access to top-notch medical care through Banner Boswell Medical Center and St. Joseph’s Hospital, both sharing the rank of #2 in the state.
Seniors in Peoria who require nursing home care receive 24-hour supervision and access to on-call medical staff. Nursing homes provide seniors with the medical attention they need as well as daily opportunities to connect with peers. Seniors who do not need as much medical supervision or care will often choose to live in an assisted living community instead of a nursing home; seniors who can generally care for themselves but still require some monitoring may opt for home health care.
This guide provides an overview of the nursing home options available to seniors who live in Peoria and how much they can expect to pay for nursing home services. It also compares the cost of nursing home care to that of other types of care and reveals financial assistance options for those who need it.

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.
