With a current population of approximately 750,000 seniors or approximately 12% of the population in Arizona, the state is rank right in the middle of the pack for availability of assisted living facilities and other senior services. This factor could significantly change in the next few years. With global warming, the 3 million plus seniors in Florida may soon be searching for a more safe option for retirement where the weather is not quite so life threatening. Another significant hurricane in Florida could trigger a mass exit from Florida and many of these seniors will be looking for a warm climate. Arizona seems like an excellent option because it also has low humidity which can make some seniors with health problems feel better.
The cost of living index for Arizona is 105 compared to a national average of 100. Just slightly above the nationwide average, Arizona offers a lot of amenities at an average cost. With an excellent variety of outdoor recreational activities, the arts and entertainment, and many state-of-the-art healthcare facilities, Arizona is a great place for bull independent and assisted living. Since many seniors enter an assisted living facility after an unexpected health event such as an aneurysm, fall or stroke, many seniors plan an active retirement but must stay in an assisted living facility for a short term after or during rehabilitation. Long term or short, our directory of assisted living facilities includes reviews so that it may be used in conjunction with the governmental sites to get a greater picture about the quality of life at the assisted living facilities that surround your desired area.
