Below are direct answers to the questions families ask us most.
How much does assisted living cost in Scottsdale, AZ?
Most assisted living homes in Scottsdale charge between $3,500 and $7,000 per month. The price depends on the level of care, a private or shared room, and the home itself. Small residential homes often cost less than large corporate communities while offering a better caregiver-to-resident ratio. At Senior Valley Assisted Living, pricing is all-inclusive with no surprise fees. Call (480) 793-9213 for current rates and availability.
What is included in the monthly cost?
At Senior Valley Assisted Living, the monthly rate covers a furnished room, three home-cooked meals a day, 24/7 caregivers, medication management, housekeeping and laundry, help with bathing, dressing, and other daily activities, and coordination of doctor appointments. Transportation to medical appointments can be arranged. There are no large deposits or buy-in fees.
What is the difference between an assisted living home and a large facility?
In Arizona, an assisted living home is licensed for 10 or fewer residents, while an assisted living center houses 11 or more. Small homes offer a family-style setting, consistent caregivers, and more one-on-one attention. Large centers offer more amenities but lower staff-to-resident ratios. Senior Valley operates small assisted living homes in Scottsdale, so caregivers know every resident’s routine, preferences, and family.
Does Medicare or ALTCS pay for assisted living in Arizona?
Medicare does not pay for room and board in assisted living. Families typically pay privately, through long-term care insurance, or with VA Aid and Attendance benefits for eligible veterans. Arizona’s ALTCS program (Medicaid long-term care) can cover assisted living for those who qualify at participating homes. Call us to discuss payment options for your situation.
What are the requirements to move into assisted living in Arizona?
Assisted living fits seniors who need help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication, or meals, but do not need round-the-clock skilled nursing. Before move-in, Arizona requires a care assessment and a written service plan that matches the home’s licensed level of care. We assess every prospective resident and tell you honestly whether our homes are the right fit.
Do you offer memory care for Alzheimer’s and dementia?
Yes. Senior Valley Assisted Living provides memory care for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia in our Scottsdale homes. Trained caregivers offer round-the-clock supervision in a safe, secure home environment, with routines built around each resident’s abilities and history.
How do I find a top rated assisted living home in Scottsdale?
Check three things: the state license (search the home on the Arizona Department of Health Services AZ Care Check site), Google reviews from real families, and an in-person tour. Ask about the caregiver-to-resident ratio, staff turnover, and how the home handles medical emergencies. Senior Valley Assisted Living holds a 5.0 Google rating across its Scottsdale homes and welcomes tours daily.
Can seniors bring pets to assisted living?
Pet policies vary home by home. Small assisted living homes are often more flexible than large facilities and may consider a well-behaved pet case by case. If a pet is part of your family, tell us when you call and we will discuss what is possible.
Where are your assisted living homes located?
We operate three assisted living homes, all in Scottsdale, AZ: Senior Valley Assisted Living at 5241 E Anderson Dr (85254), Senior Valley Assisted Living II at 16810 N 66th St (85254), and Harmony Care Assisted Living at 6401 N 82nd St (85250). All three serve families from Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and the greater Phoenix area.
Can I tour before making a decision?
Yes. Tours are available daily at all three Scottsdale homes. Seeing the home, meeting the caregivers, and joining residents at a meal is the fastest way to know whether it is the right fit. Call (480) 793-9213 to schedule a tour or a free consultation, or visit our locations page.
