How to Pay for Assisted Living in Phoenix
Many assisted living facilities accept multiple payment options, including state and veterans’ benefits and cash payments, to promote long-term financial feasibility. When researching local assisted living communities, seniors should consider the cost of care and strategies that may help them cover services.
- Medicaid: Arizona’s Medicaid agency funds the Arizona Long Term Care System, which covers assisted living for qualified seniors in Phoenix who need a nursing home level of care. ALTCS pays for durable medical equipment and supplies, homemaker services, personal care, and nonemergency medical transportation, among other long-term care expenses.
- Medicare: Medicare pays for medically necessary services assisted living residents need, including medication administration, rehabilitative therapies, and skilled nursing. However, it doesn’t cover nonmedical services or room-and-board fees.
- VA Benefits: Veterans receive funds to pay for assisted living through two VA programs, including Aid and Attendance and Housebound. The VA also provides direct care through its veterans’ home in Phoenix.
- Private payments: Private payment options may provide the necessary funding for those who don’t qualify for financial assistance through the state or the VA. These options may include reverse mortgages, annuities, long-term care insurance, monthly income, and retirement savings.
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Phoenix
Arizona has a variety of resources for senior citizens, some of which may help make the cost of assisted living more affordable. The AHCCCS may also have programs that provide financial help to seniors seeking assisted living.

- According to a cost of living index, Phoenix earns a score of 113, putting local living expenses more than 6% above the state norm and 13% above the national average.

The city’s north side has several safe neighborhoods for prospective assisted living residents, including Anthem East and Carriage Trails.
