Arizona Assisted Living

I just started working with the state of Arizona to get all the data for assisted living, nursing home, hospice care and in-home care facilities. Arizona is one the new "hot" states for assisted living. There are already over 1500 assisted living facilities in the state and growing. Arizona offers great weather for seniors, the hot and dry climate is great for those with joint pain. The area also has a reasonable low cost living. Gold is a huge sport in Arizona so those searching for a active retirement, may consider that a plus. Although it is hard to compete with the no income tax in Nevada, it does offer natural beauty and not superficial surroundings. I think that the two state offer a very different style and that Arizona will be more successful in the long run. Arizona also competes with Florida for the Hot/Dry retirement crowd. Once again, I think that Arizona will be the winner. I am will to bet that Florida has a major weather related disaster before 2020 and scares a lot of seniors out of the area. Global warming seems to be making hurricanes more common and sever so Florida is going to get hit eventually.
So, if you are considering retirement planning, our list of Arizona assisted living facilities will be released in August and will include every single licensed option. If you have a specific city your desire, then use our advanced search or you can just browse our state and major city pages to get ideas. If you live in an assisted living facility, please use the advance search to find your facility and then write a review. This information can help thousands of others select the best facility for their families.
