10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Tucson, AZ

Answer a few questions to get personalized results

Who are you searching for?

Tucson, Arizona, is a hidden gem for seniors looking to move to assisted living. With a population of just over 500,000, Tucson is only a third of the size of its cousin, Phoenix. More approachable for seniors accustomed to smaller cities, Tucson’s slow-paced sprawl and Old West nostalgia reminds residents of its country foundations. Tucson has many of the same attractions as Phoenix for seniors looking for assisted living: a warm, dry climate and a reasonable cost of living. Tucson, however, has its own flair.

Home to the University of Arizona, Tucson has a balance of youthful energy and historic prestige. Outdoor activities are a popular local pastime, due to the surrounding juxtaposition of dramatic desert and mountain terrain. Because Tucson is at a higher elevation than other Southwestern cities, it enjoys a gentler summer and more greenery than Phoenix.

Perhaps best of all for seniors looking for assisted living, Tucson maintains an even lower cost of living than other cities with comparable scenery, weather, city amenities, and assisted living options. A Place for Mom partners with 31 assisted living communities in Tucson within a 15-mile radius, a high number for a city of its size. Most seniors find an assisted living option in Tucson that fits their needs and budget.

This guide introduces you to the top-rated assisted living communities in Tucson. According to reviews from people like you, these assisted living communities have the best meals and dining, cost-effectiveness, cleanliness, and more. This guide will also highlight what living in Tucson is like, from how far your dollar will get you to local senior resources and senior-friendly activities.

Costs of assisted living in the Tucson area

Seniors pay a median cost of $4,400 per month for a private one bedroom in an assisted living community in Tucson. This figure includes all amenities and fees, including rent, meals, and extra costs associated with care services and amenities in communities with over 25 residents. This falls below the national median, which is just about $5,000 per month.[02].

Board and care homes make up 31% of the assisted living options in Tucson, and have a median monthly cost of $3,500. Group homes offer a more intimate environment with fewer residents and are usually located in a residential home. While group homes may have fewer amenities than assisted living communities, they provide the same type of care for a lower cost.

The costs listed in the chart below differ somewhat because it portrays the average starting costs, which is a baseline before fees or additional amenities and services are added.

How people pay for assisted living in Tucson

Seniors and their families usually pay for assisted living with a mix of private and public funds. However, certain care services may be covered by public health insurance like Medicare, Medicaid, or veterans benefits. Other expenses, such as room and board, are typically paid for out of pocket using private savings and income.

Private pay methods in Tucson

While money from retirement savings is a common method to pay for assisted living expenses, it’s not the only way. Long-term care insurance may cover some care costs and cashing out a life insurance policy is another way to pay for assisted living. Check with your policy provider to see what is covered under your specific plan. Depending on your family’s resources, the following options are other common ways that seniors can pay for assisted living:

 

Veterans benefits for assisted living in Tucson

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)

For seniors who served in the U.S. military and their surviving spouses, there are several resources to help them pay for assisted living offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). For example, the VA Pension and the Aid and Attendance benefit are two programs that may help cover room and board fees and health care costs for veterans who live in assisted living facilities.

There are several VA office locations in the Tucson area, listed in the resources section below, that offer both medical and nonmedical support for veterans. The main locations for these offices include the Tucson VA Medical Center and the Tucson Vet Center.

Veterans services organizations in Tucson

VSOs are veteran-focused organizations that operate at the local, state, and national levels. These organizations provide VA benefits counseling and veteran-specific programming. Examples of official VSOs in Tucson include the Arizona Department of Veterans Services, Veterans of Foreign War (VFW), Disabled American Veterans (DAV), and Vietnam Veterans of America. The resource list below includes listings of several local and national VSOs operating in the Tucson area.

Applying for VA benefits can be complicated, so it’s encouraged that veterans reach out to a VSO. Veteran service counselors are trained and certified by the VA. They can be key to helping veterans avoid delays or denial of benefits due to missed deadlines or application errors.

VSOs in Tucson are located throughout the community and many are housed at the Arizona Department of Veterans Services office. For location and contact information of specific VSOs in Tucson, see the resource section below.

Tucson Medicaid for assisted living

Medicaid is a state and federally-run health insurance program for low-income individuals. Arizona’s Medicaid program is called the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS, pronounced “access”) and covers a variety of services including the following:

  • Skilled medical services
  • Injections and immunizations
  • Emergency care
  • Prescriptions
  • Labs and x-rays
  • Dialysis
  • Dental, vision, and hearing care
  • Hospital care

To be eligible for AHCCCS, the monthly income limit for seniors 65 and older is $1,255 for an individual and $1,704 for a couple.[04]

Choosing a Medicaid plan based on care needs

Seniors in Tucson who want to pay for their assisted living with Medicaid often enroll in the Arizona Long Term Care Systems (ALTCS) plan, which is designed to cover long-term care for seniors. Eligible seniors need to be 65 or older, have a disability, and require skilled nursing care.

This program covers all of the costs for Medicaid-approved assisted living communities that provide skilled nursing care. ALTCS covers rent in a shared room, meals, and care services. Private rooms come with an additional fee.

The income limit to qualify for ALTCS is $2,829 per month for a single person. Seniors whose income exceeds the limit can become eligible by meeting with a local benefits counselor to set up a Special Treatment Trust. However, seniors enrolled in ALTCS may still be asked to pay for some of their senior care. This is called Share of Cost, and it differs for each person depending on their total financial assets and monthly income.[05]

Access Tucson’s Medicaid resources

You can find resources about Arizona’s Medicaid programs below, including contact information for the Arizona Ombudsman. The ombudsman can investigate any complaints you may have about the AHCCCS and may attempt to resolve them. You can contact them directly through the link in the resources section below.

Medicare assisted living coverage in Tucson

Medicare is a federally funded health insurance program available to seniors when they turn 65. Some individuals under 65, with a qualifying disability or illness may also be eligible for Medicare. The Medicare website provides information on eligibility and Medicare-covered services.

Many seniors receiving Social Security benefits are automatically enrolled in Medicare. For those who need to complete a Medicare application, they can find it on the Social Security website.

Medicare coverage

Medicare doesn’t cover the long-term room and board expenses at skilled nursing facilities, but it will cover short term stays for qualified individuals recovering from an illness or injury. It will also cover many medical treatment costs, including some services received in an assisted living or a memory care facility.

The three primary parts of Medicare are organized by the different types of care they cover:[06]

Hospital insurance is covered by Part A and will pay for skilled nursing facility care, inpatient hospital care, and home health care.

Medical insurance, or Part B, pays for outpatient services such as doctor’s visits, x-rays, lab work, or minor procedures performed in a clinical setting.

Drug insurance is also known as Part D and pays for the cost of medications, such as vaccines and those prescribed by a doctor.

Depending on the specific coverage an individual has, Medicare will pay for care that includes the following:[07]

  • Short-term skilled nursing or inpatient hospital care
  • Doctors’ appointments
  • Clinical care services
  • Medical supplies
  • Prescription medications

Assistance with Medicare costs

The Help for Paying Medicare Costs Only program may help eligible Arizona residents pay for Medicare premiums, copayments, and deductibles. Seniors with a monthly income below $1,255 qualify to have financial support with Medicaid Parts A and B. For those with an income higher than $1,255 but below $1,695 qualify for financial help with Medicare Part B.[08]

Tucson’s social services for Medicare recipients

The Pima Council on Aging is Tucson’s local resource for seniors with questions about Medicare. The Council also provides information about Medicaid and other senior services. Volunteers at the Arizona Ombudsman Citizen’s Aide can be another resource for families. They can field complaints and advocate on behalf of individuals living in long-term care facilities.

Tucson laws and regulations for assisted living facilities

The Arizona Department of Health Services provides licensure and oversight for all of Tucson’s assisted living facilities. Licensure is granted to assisted living communities that meet state requirements during an initial inspection, and is renewed the following year during an unannounced inspection. Inspection results are publicly available on the Residential Facilities Provider Search Form. You can search for facilities by name or address.

Assisted living communities with 20+ residents are licensed as assisted living centers, and board and care homes with fewer than 10 residents are licensed as assisted living homes. Both types of facilities undergo the same licensing procedures and yearly inspections in Arizona. Some of the regulations and requirements for Tucson, Arizona, assisted living communities include the following:

  • Facilities must have a written care plan outlining each resident’s current health and level of care.
  • Facilities must provide daily meals to residents.
  • Facilities must be maintained up to state building codes.
  • Facilities must provide residents with access to hot and cold water at all times.
  • Facilities are kept clean and hygienic.

Resident rights in Arizona assisted living communities

In Arizona, the Department of Health Services outlines specific rights for residents of assisted living communities, which include the following:[09]

  • Residents must be treated with respect and dignity.
  • Residents must be told about all care services they will receive.
  • Residents must be told about any changes in the cost of their room, meals, and care.
  • Residents must be able to choose their own health care providers.
  • Residents must have access to a caregiver or manager in the community at all times.

Caregiver training in Arizona assisted living facilities

In Arizona, caregivers in assisted living communities must meet certain requirements. In 2022, Arizona strengthened its background check requirements for workers in assisted living communities. Workers with felonies due to violence or financial fraud are now unable to work in any assisted living community in Arizona. Some of the other requirements for caregivers include the following:

  • Caregivers must be 18 years or older.
  • Caregivers must pass a state-approved, caregiver training program.
  • Caregivers must be up-to-date on tuberculosis immunizations.
  • Caregivers must complete first-aid and CPR training.

COVID-19 regulations for Tucson assisted living facilities

According to the federal guidelines from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), visitors are allowed in Tucson’s assisted living communities regardless of their vaccination status. Some more of Tucson’s COVID-19 policies for assisted living communities include those outlined below.

What assisted living is like in Tucson

Tucson has senior-friendly weather

The weather is one of the reasons seniors are drawn to Tucson. With a higher altitude than Phoenix, the average temperatures in Tucson are considerably mild throughout the year. It can even snow in the winter.

While many cities have one or two types of assisted living communities, Tucson has a fairly even division among three types of assisted living. These community types include facilities that only offer assisted living services, comprehensive Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), and smaller board and care homes.

Traditional assisted living communities

Traditional assisted living communities in Tucson tend to have more than 25 residents. Many have on-site physicians and nurses, and provide amenities like arts and crafts rooms or libraries. Outings to local botanical gardens, performances, or other events are fairly common. In these traditional assisted living communities, residents live in a private or shared room and usually eat their meals in a restaurant-style dining area with other residents.

About half of Tucson’s assisted living communities include at least one other type of senior care, like memory care or independent living.[02] Often, these multi-care communities are on large campuses, and each care type has its own building or wing.

The cost for multi-care communities is typically higher than other assisted living options. These communities provide residents the comfort of staying on the same campus as their care needs change. The senior may need to relocate to a different unit within the same community but will be able to stay in the same community.

Like traditional assisted living communities, multi-care type communities usually combine all expenses into one monthly fee. The monthly cost for a resident increases as their care needs increase, and many traditional assisted living communities offer some skilled nursing services for an additional fee.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) are similar to multi-care communities in Tucson, but they typically have a different payment structure. CCRCs are often more expensive than other assisted living options and most require an admission fee.

The higher costs and admission fees at CCRCs may help to cover a higher level of care in the future such as skilled nursing. CCRCs also tend to have more lavish amenities — like pools and bars — and an array of personalized health and wellness services.

Board and care homes

Board and care homes are common in Tucson. These are residential homes that are converted into small assisted living communities. While licensed and regulated in the same ways as traditional assisted living communities, these often come at a lower price and provide a more intimate, personalized experience. Seniors in board and care homes in Tucson often share a room with one other resident and have access to the common areas of the house.

Amenities may include a backyard or patio, a dining room, and a living room. Caregivers at board and care homes often live alongside residents and are available 24/7. Board and care homes don’t usually offer on-site skilled nursing but many partner with home health care agencies to help residents get the care they need.

For residents who no longer drive, our partner assisted living facilities provide on-site transportation services — a safe and convenient alternative to public transportation. For those who still drive, nearly 60% of A Place for Mom’s partner communities offer parking for residents with cars.

For visiting loved ones, Sun Tran, Tucson’s public transportation system is a reliable and affordable way to get around. It includes the Sun Link street car, Sun Vans, Sun on Demand, and the Sun Shuttle. Tucson has worked to make the Sun Tran particularly accessible for seniors by providing a few senior-specific services. These perks include the following:

  • Trip planning services through their customer service representatives
  • Reduced fares
  • Senior-designated seats behind the driver
  • Lifts for easy boarding
  • A class designed for seniors to learn how to use the Sun Tran system

Things to do in Tucson for seniors and their families

Whether you’re on an evening hike among towering Saguaro cacti or sitting on a back porch with a margarita, it’s likely you’ll enjoy a stunning sunset above the purple hues of the surrounding mountain ranges. And with a dry, temperate climate, being outside in Tucson is comfortable for almost 365 days a year.

Explore the Sonoran Desert

Many of the local assisted living communities offer residents an outing to the Sonoran Desert Museum, but it’s a must-see for visiting family members as well. The museum is accessible and includes a zoo and a botanical garden. Learn about unique animals — like the javelina, scorpion, and Gila monster — and admire the local cacti, some of which are over 100 years old.

The Saguaro National Park is perhaps the most famous site in the Tucson area, as the park surrounds two sides of the city. Named for the massive Saguaro cacti that grow throughout the park, visitors can enjoy the park on foot or by car. The Cactus Forest Drive is a loop that provides stunning views of the park’s most scenic areas. Adventurous hikers can find petroglyphs from the ancient Hohokam people on the Signal Hill Trail.

Because of Tucson’s clear skies, the Steward Observatory on the University of Arizona’s campus is home to one of the premier astronomy departments in the nation. Students and visitors can look through the telescope in the observatory.

A larger telescope is located just outside the city at the Kitt Peak National Observatory which has a visitor center that offers nighttime stargazing events.

Discover Tucson’s rich culture

Tucson has plenty of cultural activities too. One of the most popular for seniors — particularly veterans — is the Pima Air and Space Museum. The museum has over 400 aircrafts and some of the rarest aircrafts in the world including WWII planes, presidential aircrafts, and a flight simulator. Plus, seniors get discounted admissions. Tram Tours offers are available daily to take visitors through the acres of planes and helicopters.

The Mission San Xavier del Bac is a piece of history that has persisted through occupations by Spain, Mexico, and the Confederacy. It now sits on land owned by the Tohono O’odham Nation. Built in the 1700s, the Mission’s ornate Spanish colonial architecture and gilded interior are worth the suggested donation fee.

Set in an old-timey saloon, the Gaslight Theater puts on nightly performances of their family-friendly plays. Visitors can enjoy a full meal and free popcorn with their tickets. Seniors don’t get discounted tickets, but it’s affordable enough to go regularly.

Enjoy a celebrated food scene

Tucson was the first City of Gastronomy in the United States. It got its title because there’s an unusually high number of exceptional restaurants in Tucson for a city of its size. Tucson also gained recognition because these restaurants honor traditional recipes from Mexico and the indigenous tribes who began farming in the Saguaro Desert over 4,000 years ago. The official Tucson City of Gastronomy website has information about food tours, cooking classes, and certified City of Gastronomy restaurants.

Learn from local guides

Tucson’s visitor’s website is visittucson.org, which offers some excellent up-to-date information about local activities. They cover outdoor fun, health and wellness, shopping, and history experiences that are appropriate for all ages. The site also has updated information about local events, like Gem Shows, the Senior Olympic Festival, and musical performances.
