40 Nursing Homes Near Phoenix, AZ
Surrounded by the fiery landscape of the Sonoran Desert, Phoenix is Arizona’s capital and most populous city. Of its more than 1.6 million residents, 10.6% are seniors over the age of 65. Several of Arizona’s best medical facilities are located in Phoenix, including the Mayo Clinic, which has ranked number one in the state for several consecutive years. It has also ranked nationally for 11 specialties, including geriatrics, cardiology and orthopedics.
Nursing homes cater to seniors with medical conditions requiring 24-hour supervision and skilled nursing care. Seniors who don’t require the around-the-clock medical care offered in a nursing home may find that assisted living or in-home care is a better fit. In addition to allowing seniors to live more independently, the cost savings can be substantial considering that the average cost for a semiprivate room in a Phoenix nursing home is $9,247 a month, which is more than double the average cost for assisted living.
This guide overviews the costs of nursing home care in Phoenix and compares it to other cities in Arizona as well as other types of care. It also includes resources that can help pay for or delay the need for nursing home care.

I am a family member of someone who was admitted to the Skilled nursing floor. I can say, what you get is not what they portray when visiting. They praise themselves with accolades, but behavior shows another story. Some of their nurses are amazing, yet a few are deplorable. The Director of Nurses is the least professional person I have ever dealt with. There is no decorum. The noise in the hall is inexcusable. Skilled nursing usually implies sick people … So why is there talking, shouting, joking, laughing & utter nonsense going on in the halls?! If your love one goes from a ‘skilled’ to ‘hospice’ situation …. heaven help them. Palazzo is not set up to provide hospice. They offer it, but the organization that actually provides that care is based in Scottsdale! There is a complete disconnect between the facility staff and the Hospice Organization. Needless to say more, it is not an ideal situation.

The care that my brother is receiving at The Palazzo is inadequate. He’s in their skilled nursing section. The staff members are overworked. Some of them are very caring, just overworked and overstressed. He’s in a shared room and it’s not clean enough.
He’s not allowed to get out of bed because of his medical condition. I would say that they haven’t gotten him out of bed into the wheelchair or walked him out of his room. He’s been there for months and they’ve just begun to take him for PT. They don’t get him out of his room enough because they lack people that have time. They’re short-staffed and I’m sure that a lot of places are, but they seem to be extremely short-staffed.
The rest of the building is nice, but in skilled nursing, his room has not been kept clean enough, it’s crowded, and shared.
They have not communicated well with me. They would not and they refused to tell me how he’s doing or even communicate. For months, it’s the opposite, he says, of what he requested. He had no phone and he had to write me letters because he had no way of talking to me. Now, he has a phone, they finally got a phone for him.
It’s very hard to get the doctor to see him. There’s not enough medical care. He had to ask for the doctor a lot and a long time before he came. He didn’t see a doctor for about 5 weeks, and he has multiple medical conditions that needed attention. They haven’t brought in a specialist for him when he needed it.

SWAN Rehab was a good place. They do a lot of physical activity with you. They were just excellent. I really liked it. That’s the only place I really liked to be honest. They had speech therapy with my wife. It was a rehab center. I would take her there and take her home. They do everything really, like on the bicycle to see if she could move her legs, arms, walking, and things like that. The speech therapy was very good. SWAN Rehab is outpatient. She doesn’t pay because she’s on Medicare, but I would pay for it anyway.

My husband is staying at Acacia Health Center at Sagewood. They’re pretty attentive to him; the food is decent, it’s very clean, and in a nice area. Those are the main things I like about it. The rooms are clean, well furnished, and bright; he’s got three big windows. I haven’t tasted the food, but he says it’s pretty good. He’s on Medicare, so I don’t even know what the costs are, but I know it’s very expensive if we had to pay out of pocket. The staff is excellent, I would say 95 percent of them go above and beyond.

Chris was prompt and polite. Sean and Ruth ought to be replaced to a circus. 2 gr8 breaks. After 9 hours of being in excruciating pain from a bowel obstuctioln ignored me. I ended up calling EmS because there were no nurses on the floor. Including Theresa the charge nurd. I thought it was going to rupture. I’ve had this experience multiple times before. The Dr. Leave him alone but I had to tell him what I needed to do as far as tx. I was put on "medical hold" so received no PT Or OT. I went home weak I was in fear of my obstruction. and could not use my calves. What I say about that is Andy helped me, he drilled "safety first" I think about that all the time because I am using walls. Yes I live alone. HR..I couldn’t say enough nice things about them . Lauren was not cool. He just wanted to rush me out. I don’t respect him. I want to see the investigation. Amen. I was to sick to choose a rehab. I knew the minute I hit the doors this place was not right. To sick to transfer. Little did I know. Follow your gut. Oh, and activities were suburb!

This was a terrible place for my mom to stay after being in the hospital. She was supposed to go there to gain weight and get strionger, she was told they only had frozen food and couldn’t even bake her eggs for dinner because she couldn’t chew anything else. She lived in cottage cheese and coffee for 2 weeks! They also forgot to feed her ttwice! Once for dinner and once for breakfast, the beds are gurney’s ! They didn’t even supply a chair for her to sit in , they don’t care about the patients at all and act like they are bothered by helping the people who need help most, my mom got worse instead of better and a few days later ended up in the hospital again because they didn’t feed her. What a horrible place to stay.

My Mom is a 63 yr old dementia resident here with behavioral problems. Even though my first thoughts were OMG this place is so small and care givers are not giving enough attention to everyone, I found out that the fact that they sit AMONG theyr patients and intervene as a friend that it seems to be working. My Mom has been in 6 facilities and 3 hospitals and hospice care 2 times in 2 1/2 years. I was Financially drained and stressd to no end. This facility has taken my Mom in and set boundries that my pitiful Mother has to follow or she is not allowed to have her 4 cigarette breaks a day. You will not find fancy chandeliers here or alot of freedom but my Mother is clean and content and fed so I honestly cannot say enough good things about the place. I would put these care givers in the SAINT division, they deal with the hard to handle patients that are still together enough to socialize and hold conversations and believe that they are getting better and have a little independence left, I wish these Saints were paid better salaries since they all work so hard and care that the residents have feelings and families, happy memories ect Fondly Lacy Breeding

My father stayed at South Mountain Post Acute. I thought it was great. He was there for about five weeks. When I went in every time, they were very good. I like its friendliness. It makes a difference when it seems like they care. When you’re not friendly, you come off right at the top as just doing their job like a robot. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food that they had came in separate Styrofoam containers, which is nice because of the whole COVID and everything that is going on. It’s almost like a take-out where everybody gets their own Styrofoam container. He has a certain diet he has to keep, so I thought it was great because that’s what he needed at that time. The food they were giving him was within his guidelines, so that was good. His room was like a regular hospital room; you share a room with somebody. They have a front area where they can go any time. It’s just a front area right there where they do the rehab for everybody depending on what they’re going there for. They have a different area down the hall for a shower. Each room doesn’t have a shower because everybody has (for safety reasons) different situations. The shower is down the hall, and the rec room is in the front, which has like a TV and stuff.

My Mom was sent here from St. Joe’s for rehab. She stayed for maybe 2 hours. We
call it “One flew over the cuckoo’s nest”.
She was transported at 9:30 p.m., was put in a small room with a screaming Alzheimer’s patient. She was there to gain strength. Her mind is fine. The bed was not a hospital bed, was small and pushed in a corner. It looked like they needed the money & grabbed a bed.
She was still in a wheelchair when she asked to go to the restroom. They got her a bed pan. There were probably 10 staff who stood & stared at us when we came to get her out of there. Only one spoke understandable English. The charge Nurse was gruff and looked mean…had no empathy that my Mom was scared & upset. The place looks & smells like an old time nursing home. Very unsettling experience…

I would NEVER recommend anyone go to this place. My brother was transferred to Desert Terrace from St Josephs Hospital he has a brain tumor and short term memory. After less than one week I received a call from my brother he was told he would have to leave as his insurance ran out. I called the Case/Social Worker and told her that he could NOT live alone and they needed to contact the VA and find an assisted living facility for him. INSTEAD today I received a call from my brother they had DUMPED him at his house – he did NOT have a key to the house or any of his meds. There is a lock box on his house but my brother could not figure out how to open it, and had to give the Driver the combination so he could get the key to his house. Later I called one of his neighbors and asked her to check on him. She told me he was confused and she had to help him find his cell phone, and medical alert button. He needed assistance getting up from a chair to get to his walker. When I drove down to visit my brother last week, I found the facility dirty, he was cramped into a tiny room with another patient. He spend most of the day laying in bed watching TV. Almost no PT or activities. NO ONE from Desert Terrance have called me.

I would NEVER recommend anyone go to this place. My brother was transferred to Desert Terrace from St Josephs Hospital he has a brain tumor and short term memory. After less than one week I received a call from my brother he was told he would have to leave as his insurance ran out. I called the Case/Social Worker and told her that he could NOT live alone and they needed to contact the VA and find an assisted living facility for him.

The room was barely big enough for a bed, there was dirty linens strung out all over the place. he went in with a least 20 pairs of socks, he had none in his drawer. they brought him in smelling of strong urnine. He was so medicated he could not open his eyes. We left but returned and they knew this, when we got back probably 3 staff members were busily cleaning him up before we returned. We would call on the phone to see how he was, they would say he is moving to a different section of the nursing home because he was doing better, and that they thought he really liked it. Truth was we ask the person who was there and said he was moved because he was declining. Lie after lie. his personal hygiene was not good, he was unshaved, his hair was disaster and he smelled as if been in the diaper all day.

Please believe all the bad reviews from this disgusting place…my father was practically held captive at this place. It took us over 6 months to get my father discharged…only a few people speak English there and it is the dirtiest nursing home we have ever been to. On one occasion my father fell off his bed and it took over an hour for someone to realize it. If you love your loved one DO NOT TAKE THEM TO THIS NURSING HOME…it is a BAD place!!!!

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Phoenix, 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 Phoenix, AZ
Seniors have access to several resources that can help them pay for or delay the need for nursing home care. Programs that can offset in-home care expenses prior to moving to a nursing facility as well as resources that can subsidize the costs of care within a nursing home are included below.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
| Family Caregiver Support Program | (888) 264-2258 | The Family Caregiver Support Program allows family members caring for loved ones aged 60 and over to receive temporary relief through respite care provided either in-home or at an adult day health care center. The program also allows caregivers to choose a respite care worker and be reimbursed by the agency. |
| Home-Delivered Meals Program | (888) 264-2258 | Managed by the Area Agency on Aging Region One, the Home-Delivered Meals Program ensures seniors with limited mobility meet their nutritional needs by sending a well-balanced hot meal to their home every day. To qualify, seniors must be homebound and lack both the ability to prepare their own food as well as a friend or family member who can cook meals for them. |
| Senior Adult Independent Living | (602) 264-4357 | The S.A.I.L. program provides seniors aged 60 and older with a variety of in-home services, including personal care, homemaking assistance, home-delivered meals and adult day health care. Weekly nursing services, such as assistance preparing insulin injections and health care monitoring, are available as well. While usually free, home nursing recipients occasionally have to share the costs for services. |
| Arizona Long Term Care System | (602) 253-6385 | ALTCS is an Arizona Medicaid program for seniors requiring a nursing home level of care. Participants are assigned case managers who develop service plans that may include care in a nursing facility, in-home care, hospice services and medical services, including physician visits and prescriptions. Services are provided at little to no cost depending on the individual’s income and assets. |
