10 Best Nursing Homes in Mesa, AZ

Answer a few questions to get personalized results

Who are you searching for?

Nursing homes in Mesa, Arizona, offer seniors the chance to age gracefully in a quiet city just outside Phoenix. Warm weather all year, excellent senior care, and a generous state Medicaid program make Mesa a popular choice for seniors looking for a skilled nursing facility. A Place for Mom partners with 57 assisted living and memory care facilities with skilled nursing care within a 10-mile radius of Mesa’s city center.

The term “nursing home” is sometimes used as a general name for all senior living facilities. In fact, nursing homes are distinct from other senior living facilities, differing from assisted living and memory care communities. Nursing homes provide skilled nursing care, which is a level of care just below that of a hospital. Seniors who reside in nursing homes generally need round-the-clock medical attention for significant physical or mental health conditions. Some seniors live in a nursing home for a short period to recover from a procedure or an illness, while others live in a nursing home permanently.

If your loved one doesn’t need the specialized medical care of a nursing home, consider Mesa’s assisted living or memory care facilities instead. These communities help seniors with daily tasks and medication management. In Mesa, memory care facilities are considered a type of assisted living facility, but they specialize in offering therapeutic support to people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

This guide has everything you need to know about the best senior care communities in Mesa, Arizona. Learn how much they cost, how to pay, and more.

5 / 5.0

We looked at three places. One was perceived as low class. One was too small. Palazzo was "Just Right". If you need a place that will take care of a member of your family then call[name removed] in sales and move them in.

4.4 / 5.0

Mom had to go to the hospital. Staff called us kids with an update on what they knew, where she went etc. We were very thankful for staff staying in touch with us through that situation. Nice facility at a reasonable price. Not the newest or biggest, but good food and mom is making new friends.

My husband has been in residence for one year and I have been there almost every night to sit with him and put him to bed.

Costs of nursing homes in the Mesa area

A private room in one of Mesa’s nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities costs $7,908 a month, according to Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey.[02] Skilled nursing is among the costlier types of senior care because it requires a higher level of training and round-the-clock supervision.

The monthly fee for a skilled nursing facility in Mesa often includes the following services:

  • Rent for a shared or private room
  • Daily meals and snacks
  • 24/7 skilled nursing care
  • Personal care support
  • Housekeeping
  • Activities
  • Security

Assisted living and memory care costs in Mesa

Assisted living costs $4,596 a month, and memory care costs $4,907 a month, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.[01] Assisted living and memory care communities tend to be more affordable because residents don’t require as high a level of care.

  • Rent for a shared or private room
  • Daily meals and snacks
  • Personal care support
  • Medication management
  • Activities and amenities

Board and care homes offer the same services as traditional assisted living and memory care facilities but are set in residential houses and have up to 10 residents. Their smaller size makes them more affordable.

How people pay for a nursing home in Mesa

No two families pay for their loved one’s senior care in exactly the same way, but most families use a mix of personal income and public assistance. We cover strategic ways to use your personal savings and income, how to leverage Medicaid and Medicare, and how to utilize veterans benefits. Read on to learn how to fit the right senior care facility in your budget.

Private pay methods

Private savings, income, and other financial assets are usually the first options families look to when considering how to fund senior care. Most people use their personal income and other private assets such as retirement accounts, investments, and pensions to pay for care. Learn more ways to pay for senior care by reading the articles below.

VA benefits for nursing homes in Mesa
30924

30,924 veterans live in Mesa, Arizona as of 2021.

About 51% of Mesa veterans are age 65+.

Veterans and their spouses may be eligible to pay for some or all of their long-term senior care costs using veterans benefits. There are many different benefits available to veterans, so seniors and their families may want to speak with a veterans benefits counselor to help determine which benefits they’re eligible for. For example, the VA Aid and Attendance benefit is a generous benefit that can cover anything that improves a veteran’s quality of life. This includes all skilled nursing services and rent at a senior care facility.

Veterans may be eligible for benefits based on their “presumptive” service-connected disabilities. Some veterans may still be eligible for benefits even if their disability isn’t mentioned on this list.

Benefits counselors for veterans in Mesa, Arizona

Veterans service organizations (VSOs) offer benefits counseling to veterans and their families. These experts can help military-connected individuals understand their veterans benefits and provide support during the application process. Some can also help appeal benefits decisions. Below are local VSOs and a few other veterans benefits counselors based in and around Mesa, Arizona:

  • Arizona Department of Veterans Services. This department provides benefits counseling to in-state veterans and their families. Veterans Benefits Counselors are VA-vetted employees of the department.
  • Mesa Vets Connect. Veterans and family members in Mesa can use Mesa Vets Connect to find information about veterans benefits. Run by the City of Mesa, Mesa Vets Connect is an informational web page with veterans benefits application materials and information about housing and food assistance.
  • Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Disabled American Veterans (DAV). Both the VFW and DAV have local chapters in Mesa and Phoenix. These organizations provide benefits counseling to veterans and their families and advocate for veterans throughout the entire application process.

Medicaid

Medicaid is a federal- and state-run health insurance program for low-income individuals. In Arizona, the Medicaid program is called the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS). Compared to other Medicaid programs, AHCCCS is one of the most generous in the country, covering more services for more people. Arizona’s Medicaid program will cover the cost of skilled nursing care.

AHCCCS covers health care expenses

Coverage under AHCCCS typically includes health care expenses, including skilled nursing services. AHCCCS doesn’t cover rent or meals in a skilled nursing facility. Services often covered under AHCCCS include the following:

  • Hospital care
  • Specialist care
  • Injections and immunizations
  • Prescriptions
  • Emergency room care
  • Labs and X-Rays

The subprogram ALTCS may cover rent and meals in a nursing home

The Arizona Long Term Care Systems (ALTCS) is a subprogram of AHCCCS designed specifically for people in long-term care facilities such as assisted living facilities, memory care communities, and nursing homes. Unlike the main AHCCCS Medicaid program which only covers health care expenses, ALTCS covers both health care expenses and the cost of living in a long-term care facility.

Seniors covered under ALTCS may still be asked to pay some amount towards their care. This is called Share of Cost, and the amount the senior is asked to pay varies depending on total financial assets and monthly income.

ALTCS also has a higher income cut-off than AHCCCS. Seniors enrolled in AHCCCS can make no more than $1,215 a month. Seniors enrolled in ALTCS enjoy a higher income limit, and can still enroll in ALTCS if they make up to $2,741 a month.

The following services and expenses are often covered under ALTCS:

  • Rent and meals in a long-term care facility, including a nursing home
  • Personal care services, like housekeeping and medication management
  • Amenity fees

Understanding eligibility for ALTCS

Seniors are eligible for ALTCS if they are over 65 years of age and require skilled nursing care. AHCCCS determines what qualifies seniors as being in need of skilled nursing care and doesn’t limit this need to medical care. Seniors in need of assisted living and memory care services can also qualify for ALTCS.

Like AHCCCS, ALTCS has an income cutoff for eligibility. However, if a senior makes over the income limit, they may still be eligible if they set up a Special Treatment Trust. To explore this option further, we suggest speaking with a Medicaid advisor or an Arizona-based elder law attorney.

You can direct your questions and concerns about your loved one’s Medicaid coverage to the Mesa Medicaid office, the Maricopa County Area Agency on Aging, or the Arizona Ombudsman-Citizens’ Aide.

Medicare

Medicare is a federally-run health insurance program for seniors over the age of 65. Seniors may be able to pay for some or all of their skilled nursing care using Medicare, as long as the care is provided on a short-term basis or is under twenty days. An example of when this would be the case is if a senior stays in a rehabilitation facility after a procedure or an illness for two weeks. In general, Medicare covers medically necessary resources and services for short-term care.

Here’s an overview of what Medicare covers, or you can explore specific services on the Medicare coverage search tool.

  • Medicare Part A. Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital care, hospice, and rehabilitation. It may cover some home health care services.
  • Medicare Part B. Medicare Part B covers some physician appointments, outpatient care, and preventative services.
  • Medicare Part D. Medicare Part D covers some vaccines and prescription medications.

Medicare benefits counseling

Everyone’s situation is unique, so you may need more help understanding your loved one’s Medicare coverage. Families can reach out to these organizations to help explore their loved one’s Medicare options.

  • The Maricopa County Area Agency on Aging. This local agency can help answer questions about Medicare or can draw on their network to connect families with a different benefits advisor. The Maricopa County Area Agency on Aging also partners with the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).
  • Local Social Security offices. Social Security offices can give straightforward advice and information, or they can direct you toward other agencies who can better assist.
  • The Arizona Ombudsman-Citizens’ Aide. This local officer takes all complaints and concerns about Medicare and can either resolve or mediate the problem.

Understand Arizona laws and regulations for nursing homes

Nursing homes and other senior care facilities in Arizona follow state and federal regulations to ensure quality of life for residents. In Arizona, caregivers in nursing homes go through certified training programs, and facilities go through annual inspections. Passing these inspections is required to keep licensure. You can find a public report card for every nursing home in Arizona through Medicare.gov.

In 2022, Arizona increased its requirements for caregivers at skilled nursing facilities. People with felonies due to violence or fraud are no longer permitted to work as caregivers at skilled nursing homes or any other long-term care facility. Caregivers must be over 18, and all workers must pass a background check.

Federal regulations for nursing homes focus on quality of life

Unlike other senior care facilities like assisted living or memory care, nursing homes are regulated by the federal government. Federal programs like Medicare often cover services at nursing homes, so the federal government takes increased interest in these facilities versus other senior care communities. The Code of Federal Regulations for Long-Term Care Facilities outlines the requirements for skilled nursing units, including the following:

  • Skilled nursing facilities must prevent any kind of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
  • Facilities should provide residents with a high quality of life and care by providing expert care, housekeeping and laundry services, and meals.
  • Facilities should allow residents to keep their personal belongings in their rooms.
  • Residents and families should be informed of all care services and of any changes in their fees or services.

Arizona state regulations for nursing homes ensure ethical and accessible care

In Arizona, the Bureau of Long-Term Care Licensing regulates nursing homes. The Bureau outlines the rights of nursing home residents in its Consumer’s Guide to Nursing Homes. This guide highlights the following rights:

  • Skilled nursing home residents have a right to privacy and confidentiality.
  • All residents and family members have the right to submit complaints without fear of retaliation.
  • Residents are permitted to engage in religious and social activities at their discretion.
  • Couples who live in the same facility should be allowed to live in the same room.
  • Residents should be allowed to choose their own health care providers.
  • Residents cannot be given any restraints, chemical or physical, for nonmedical purposes.

Other senior care facilities are licensed differently than nursing homes

The Bureau of Residential Licensing regulates and licenses assisted living and memory care facilities in Arizona. These senior care facilities go through annual inspections, and all inspection results are available publicly on the AZDHS Provider Search Form. You can search for facilities by name or ZIP code.

In Arizona’s assisted living and memory care facilities, caregivers must be 18 years or older and pass a state-approved training program that includes CPR training. Learn more about the laws and regulations for Mesa’s assisted living and memory care facilities by visiting their webpages.

Article 8: Assisted Living Facilities by the Department of Health Services outlines resident rights in assisted living and memory care facilities in Arizona, including the following:

  • Residents should be free from any kind of abuse.
  • Residents and family members should be informed of all changes in care.
  • Residents and families should have access to their medical records during normal business hours.
  • Assisted living residents can request to move to a different room.
  • Residents should have access to a reasonable amount of privacy.
  • Residents should be able to choose their own health care providers and pharmacies.

COVID-19 regulations for Mesa nursing homes

Mesa’s nursing homes follow the guidelines developed by the Arizona Together program to protect residents, staff members, and visitors from COVID-19. This program suggests that residents mask when sick and test if exposed to COVID-19. It also recommends that facilities have a COVID-19 quarantine wing to further protect residents and staff members.

What to expect from nursing homes in Mesa

Mesa, Arizona, is a sunny city 30 minutes outside of Phoenix. While Mesa has a reputation for being quiet, it’s the third-largest city in Arizona. With beautiful outdoor recreation sites and access to some of the best health care in the nation, Mesa is an ideal place to retire. Seniors looking for skilled nursing care, assisted living, and memory care will find options to meet their budgets and needs.

While some people use the term “nursing home” to refer to all senior care facilities, nursing homes are actually distinct from assisted living and memory care facilities. Unlike other senior care facilities, nursing homes offer skilled nursing care and are reserved for seniors with significant physical or mental health conditions, or for older adults recovering from a procedure or an illness. Nursing homes offer round-the-clock medical care at a level just below that of a hospital.

If your loved one doesn’t need this type of intensive medical care, consider Mesa’s assisted living or memory care facilities instead. A Place for Mom doesn’t partner with facilities that only offer skilled nursing care, but we do partner with 57 assisted living and memory care facilities that may have skilled nursing wings.[01]

Mesa’s nursing homes and senior care facilities offer compassionate help

Seniors residing in Mesa’s nursing homes or other senior care facilities can expect highly trained caregivers and top-notch services. Most facilities offer shared or private rooms and a variety of amenities. Gyms, personal development classes, and interest clubs are common offerings. Caregivers undergo strict training requirements from Arizona’s state licensing agency, and facilities themselves must maintain building and safety codes.

Most senior care facilities in Mesa design care plans for each resident. These are available to residents and family members upon request, and change as a resident’s needs evolve. Residents can expect daily meals and snacks that fit their dietary requirements.

Board and care homes in Mesa

Approximately 37% of Mesa’s assisted living and memory care facilities are smaller board and care homes.[01] These are set in residential homes and house up to 10 residents at a time, often in shared rooms. While smaller than traditional assisted living and memory care facilities, board and care homes offer the same services and are licensed in the same way as traditional facilities. Caregivers tend to live in the home with the residents, and residents spend their days in the home’s common areas and eat meals in the shared dining room.

Many seniors appreciate the added attention and community in these smaller settings. Families often appreciate the smaller price tag, too, as board and care homes tend to be about $500 less expensive each month than traditional assisted living or memory care facilities.

Traditional assisted living and memory care facilities in Mesa

Most of Mesa’s assisted living and memory care facilities are larger traditional complexes. These can have hundreds of residents. Because of their size, they offer more amenities and daily activities. Some employ an activities coordinator who plans daily classes and games for residents. These larger facilities often have assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing wings in the same building or on a shared campus. This allows seniors to transition seamlessly into added care as needed.
