Sun City is a 55+ city located northwest of downtown Phoenix. With nearly 40,000 residents—three-quarters of whom are over the age of 65—Sun City is the largest such community in the western United States. Sun City offers seniors a low crime rate, a generally pleasant climate and easy access to Banner Boswell Medical Center, one of the area’s largest hospitals and home to the nationally-recognized Heart Center and a Certified Primary Stroke Center.
Nursing homes provide Sun City seniors with 24-hour supervision and medical care in a community setting. For seniors requiring less physical monitoring and assistance, an assisted living community provides more independence, privacy, and opportunities to live in a community environment. Seniors with mild physical or cognitive impairments who can still live at home may find home health care more suited to their needs.
This guide will provide an overview of nursing home care options in Sun City, discuss the cost differences between nursing homes in and around Sun City and how nursing home costs compare with other senior care types and provide a directory of local nursing homes.
