At $6,418 per month, nursing homes are the costliest senior care option in Avondale. In-home care and home health care share a median fee of $5,958, but these are for 44 hours of care weekly, so families needing 24/7 support may find costs are higher.

- Avondale's hot desert climate results in temperatures regularly reaching 106 degrees in the summer months, so families may want to ensure memory care facilities on their short lists prioritize hydration for their residents. Annual rainfall is only around 9 inches, far below the national average, so humidity is low. Winter temperatures can drop to lows of 43 degrees, which, although cool, means locals don't experience treacherous snow or ice.
