Tempe Assisted Living Facilities Resources

Tempe is probably best known as a city bordered by Phoenix and Scottsdale and as the home of Arizona State University. It's also a city where everything is a little less expensive, which makes it an attractive option for seniors on a budget. Before searching for Tempe assisted living facilities, read what we've found on this Maricopa County city surrounded by cities. Tempe's cost of living is about 4% below the national average. And the state/local tax burden is just 8.7%, more than 1% below the national average, according to the Tax Foundation. Seniors will find housing options equally affordable. For instance, a one-bedroom in a Tempe assisted living facility averages $3,000 a month according to a recent Genworth Financial "Cost of Long-Term Care" survey. A private room in a nursing home averages $226 a day, while a semi-private averages $183 a day. These costs are about 10% below the national average. Now for a few things that ail Tempe: the city's overall (property and violent) crime rate is 44% above the national average. However, according to Tempe’s Crime Analysis Unit, crime is trending down. For example, the total number of crimes has declined from a 10-year high of 17,861 in 2002 to 9,303 in 2010. Air quality is another issue in Tempe. The Air Quality Index (AQI) rated only 27% of the city's days as good, which for seniors with respiratory issues can be a problem. The Tempe area boasts 4,622 restaurants, 63 public libraries, 248 public golf courses and 56 movie theaters. Active seniors will love 1,200-acre Papago Park with its botanical gardens, zoo, lakes, hiking trails and picnic areas. Nearby Casino Arizona will certainly satisfy your gaming, dining and entertainment interests.
