When the time comes to move your loved one into some type of senior housing option, or arrange for him or her to be cared for at home, it is definitely a good idea to do your homework way ahead of time to familiarize yourself with what types of residence options are available for aging seniors. Cost of assisted living might be the biggest deciding factor for you, it can get quite costly.

Some of the most common and popular senior housing choices in Arizona include:

Arizona In-Home Care

In-home care refers to caregivers who come to the home at scheduled times and typically help with hygiene-related matters like helping with showers or baths, as well as with caring for certain medical issues. This might be a good solution for seniors who are only needing meal preparation or specific chores. Seniors who choose to receive care at home are still independent enough to carry out most of their chores and are able to remain at home unsupervised.

Arizona Assisted Living Homes

In Arizona, assisted living homes are usually regular homes, typically found in family-based neighborhoods, that house a group of seniors who need help with everyday tasks but are still pretty independent. Assisted living homes in Arizona are state licensed to provide care for up to 10 residents and usually specialist in all three levels of care; direct, personal and supervisory care. Some offer private rooms, others have roommates, and there is a central dining room and kitchen and living room. Staff can help with housework-related chores, and may also be able to help with personal care and medical help.

Arizona Assisted Living Facilities

Rather than one single home, assisted living facilities are larger, often more like an apartment complex. Residents typically have small studio-like apartments with a small kitchenette and can bring comforts of their previous home to decorate them. There is a central dining hall, optional activities, and residents can usually sign up for whatever level of help they need—from laundry to housekeeping to medical and personal care.

Arizona Nursing Homes

These are for people who have acute medical issues that require constant monitoring and care, but are not severe enough to need hospitalization. Rooms may be private or semi-private, and while some residents can still get around the facility for planned activities and for eating, some seniors are confined to their rooms due to their health care needs. Nursing homes are typically fairly pricey, due to the level of care the residents receive and the skill of the staff working there.

Arizona Dementia or Alzheimer’s Care Facilities

This is a unique type of senior housing option that is reserved solely for people who have either dementia and/or Alzheimer’s disease. The residences may resemble assisted living facilities in many ways, but with a lot more safety features like locks high up on the doors, simple floor plans so residents do not get confused getting around, and more vigilant, round the clock monitoring of residents to make sure they do not wander off.
