Assisted living in Arizona
We do not show Arizona’s list of assisted living homes here, because the only list the state lets us download is out of date.
Search Arizona’s official list: AZ Care Check (run by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS)).
It covers Arizona’s licensed Assisted Living Centers and Assisted Living Homes.
In a medical emergency, call 911.
Why the homes are not listed here
The state's downloadable list was last updated in February 2025, too old to show as current. Its own search is kept up to date. We only publish official lists we are allowed to share and that are current, so we send you to the state instead.
What to ask when you visit
A general checklist for any assisted living or residential care home. It is not medical or legal advice.
- Is the licence current? Can I see the latest state inspection report and how any problems were fixed?
- What does the monthly fee include, and what costs extra (levels of care, help with medicines, laundry, transport)?
- How and how often are fees raised, and with how much notice?
- What help with daily activities is offered (bathing, dressing, medicines), and who gives it?
- How many staff are on duty during the day and at night? Is a nurse on site or on call?
- What happens if care needs increase? When would a resident have to move out?
- Is there a memory-care area for people with dementia, and is the home licensed for it?
- Does the home accept Medicaid (or a state waiver program), long-term care insurance or veterans’ benefits?
- How are medical emergencies handled, and which hospital is usually used?
- Can I talk with residents and families, share a meal, and visit at different times of day?
- What does the contract say about moving out, discharge and refunds? Ask for a copy to read at home.
