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.

My husband was in rehab at The Terraces of Phoenix for ten days. It’s senior living, they have memory care, they have apartments for assisted living, and then they have skilled rehab. They really have everything there. The nurses were very kind, and his needs were met. The meals were good, but they weren’t hot because they’re remodeling and had to bring the food in from another dining room. We were happy with it for rehab.

One of the worst places you could possibly send a loved one. My father came here after brain surgery and ended up falling out of bed. This place *REFUSED* to have him taken to a hospital to have him checked out. After BRAIN SURGERY. After hours of complaining to administrators, they finally sent him, wearing NOTHING but a shirt and diaper. No socks or shoes on a cold night in February. They lost his clothes so regularly that we had to pick them up and wash them ourselves to ensure they weren’t lost or given to other patients.
The next day after the hospital trip my father was mysteriously quarantined. They wouldn’t tell us why. Wasn’t because of covid, after having to talk to person after person, it turns out they misdiagnosed him, with a difficile infection and they admitted to overmedicating him with laxatives and stool softeners. They were trying to keep him quarantined and just not tell us about any of this until it blew over. He didn’t have an infection. He was just at the hospital, they obviously would have known. How long had he been over-medicated for? No clue, they wouldn’t tell us. Just a simple “Oops, we overmedicated your dad!”
They put in his records that he wasn’t progressing, and took away his speech and physical therapy for NO REASON, claiming all of a sudden after a few weeks that he was beyond help, despite EVERY SINGLE other doctor and the physical therapist themselves saying he was improving nicely. We had to fight the insurance company tooth and nail to prove them wrong. Thank you for nothing! This facility literally gave up on my father and decided we should just deal with it. My mom complained to Angela the case manager, who aggressively and shouted at my mother: “You need to just accept it! He will NEVER eat again!!!”
How despicable of a human being do you have to be to treat someone so distastefully? Especially in your line of business?
He was without his therapy for weeks and we ultimately had to fight to get him moved to a different facility altogether, because the more we complained, the more the facility started to neglect him. They took it upon themselves to not feed him anything aside from tube nutrition, despite him needing mouth feedings to learn to eat again. These were his doctors orders right out of the hospital, but these things were either ignored or “accidentally” looked over as the facility decided to follow its own rules. This facility is LITERALLY responsible for slowing my dads improvement, and they seemingly have done everything they can to make things worse. One of the last times my mom saw him there, they just had him sitting in a diaper. When she asked why they had him like that, they had no answer. He had clothes there, they just didn’t want to help him get dressed. How can you treat people like this? They are not trying to help heal these patients, they merely want to keep them like vegetables and collect payment until they die.
Within TWO WEEKS of my dad being transferred to another facility he was able to eat again, completely off the tube, and was already progressing fine in physical therapy. Every single doctor and professional we have spoken to agrees that Phoenix Mountain Post-Acute GAVE UP ON MY FATHER. Not only that, but some told us they suspected he hadn’t even been bathed once, and that bed sores were starting to develop on his feet. They were willing to allow him to suffer and eventually die because it was too inconvenient for them to try to rehabilitate him. YOU ARE A REHABILITATION CENTER. YOUR ONLY JOB IS TO REHABILITATE PEOPLE. My father isn’t even 70 years old. How could you slime balls treat a person so lowly? Let me reiterate: Every. Single. Doctor that I have spoken to agrees: You gave up on my father. Shame on you all. Your job is to care for society’s most vulnerable, and this is how you treat them.
To anyone reading this far I leave you with this question:
if even a fraction of these things could happen to your loved one, is it worth the risk of sending them here?

RUNAWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!! This place is terrible. The doctor and staff have no commitment to quality care for the patients. Covid has made it next to impossible to work with the doctors as it seems there is no effort to contact the patient’s family to discuss care. Left daily messages for the Dr. to call and, after calling the home office, he did finally call and seemed put out that he had to take time to explain the current treatment – this was after my relative was there for for EIGHT days. The social worker/case managers were equally poor – not returning calls, and agitated when asked for patient updates. I was at the facility several years ago and agree with other reviews about the odors – entire place smelled of urine and filth. Had a friend discharged with a pic line still in place. Called the facility and was told it was ‘OK to just rip it out’. If you have a loved one, this is NOT the place to receive quality care!

This is rigged. I wrote my review and it’s still rated high. I think Melody was an excellent CNA. She was very conscious. A CNA Shasta, a beautiful women was full of compassion, caring and soothing. 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!

My mom was in Acacia Health Center at Sagewood a while back and it’s just my dad now. It’s phenomenal and the care is extraordinary. It’s a great facility. I did not step inside because of COVID. The last time when I stepped inside, with my mom, it was great and very clean. It did not have the feel of a typical nursing home. Phenomenal service.
Again, my dad was in with COVID. They didn’t really do any activities. He was in there because of rehab. He was gone from the hospital and they were just trying to get him back. He had pneumonia and they were trying to get him back to walking. He had PT and occupational therapy; I think that’s all he had there, but he was in the recovering mode to be able to come home.
My mom loved the food when she was there. She thought it was fantastic; they had a cook, and they had a dining room. When my dad was there, because of COVID, they just got brought it through to the rooms. He didn’t love it, but he’s also kind of picky. He liked the desert, but didnt like the food that well.
They had certain days where they had a Kentucky Derby day and they brought each patient something like non-alcoholic mint julep type things, cold drinks. They did do that, which I really appreciated considering the situation.

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 mom is a patient. She was discharged from the hospital to this facility for rehabilitation. She had back surgery and a tumor growing in her spine. This place is horrible. They aren’t giving her the proper care she needs. She’s missed 3 Dr appointments. Which one of them was to tell us if the tumor she has is cancerous. I spoke with the director and all he did was apologize and blame it on transportation. It takes them a long time to answer call lights and by the time they get to my mom, she already wets her pants, then they wait another hour or two to change her. The place smells like urine. I’ve asked her to be moved 3 weeks ago and they are dragging their feet doing it. Never will I recommend this place to anyone. I will be reporting them to the health department.

We have filed a missing persons report and will be filing a complaint in hopes they are NEVER able to do this to someone again!

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 facility is okay as you walk in. The security guards and most of the aren’t friendly. I witnessed uncleanly residents. Some of the disable and older residents are asleep for long periods in their chairs. When we asked a question to the staff most of the time they dont know anything. My relative keeps falling, it doesnt make sense why they would let that happen. They seem short staffed there is always a new face. The resident shared stories that staff yelled at him. My brother has tried to reach someone to talk about it. They just say ok we will take care of it but nothing happens. Also left message for the supervising nurse several times and the social worker but no one is ever around there. Transferring my uncle out. Disappointing how they treat the vets

Nursing Home Costs in Phoenix, AZ
On a monthly basis, Phoenix seniors pay an average of $9,247 for a semiprivate room and $10,646 for private nursing home accommodations.
The Cost of Nursing Home Care in Nearby Cities
The median monthly cost of a semiprivate room in a Phoenix nursing home is $9,247, making it the state’s most expensive city for nursing home care. On average, seniors in Phoenix spend $2,403 more than the majority of the state’s seniors and $1,491 more than the United States’ average. At $5,627 a month, Flagstaff offers the cheapest nursing home care in Arizona, while Lake Havasu has the state’s second-most expensive with its average of $7,437. The $6,844 average in Prescott Valley is on par with the Arizona median, whereas seniors in Yuma pay $7,118.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
Nursing homes have Phoenix’s most expensive type of care by a wide margin. For an average month-long stay in a private room at a Phoenix nursing home, seniors can receive two months of either in-home care or home health care with money left over. Assuming the average rate of $3,700, the cost for three months of care at a Phoenix assisted living facility is only 4.3% more than one month of care in a nursing home’s private room. By choosing a semiprivate room, seniors will typically save $1,399 a month.
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. |
