Two kinds of assisted living in Scottsdale
28larger communities (17+ residents): apartments, a dining room, activities staff, often memory care on site; 22 have 50 or more residents.
144small residential homes (16 or fewer): a house in a neighborhood, a few caregivers, home-style meals, often a lower monthly price and a higher staff-to-resident ratio.
Both are licensed by Arizona as assisted living. Larger communities suit people who want social life and on-site services; small homes suit people who do better with quiet, familiar routines, including many people with dementia. Arizona words these licenses as “Assisted Living Home-Directed” (143), “Assisted Living Center-Directed” (23), “Assisted Living Center-Personal” (5).

How much does assisted living cost in Scottsdale?
The median cost of assisted living in Arizona is $6,250 a month ($75,000 a year), above the national median of $6,200. That’s CareScout’s 2025 survey, collected July to November 2025. 9 Scottsdale communities publish a starting price on Lilisity, from $2,500 to $4,500 a month. If more care is needed: nursing home costs in Arizona, with CareScout medians and the private-pay rates nursing homes publish. Small residential homes often cost less than larger communities, though care needs, room type and services move the price more than the building does.
Medicare does not pay for assisted living. People pay from savings and income, long-term care insurance, or VA Aid and Attendance (up to $29,093 a year for a veteran in 2026), and some qualify for Medicaid help with care costs at communities that accept it. Who actually pays for long-term care.

Check a Scottsdale community’s license
Arizona publishes licensing records, and in most cases inspection or complaint reports, for every community on this page. Look up any community on the state’s site: geodata-adhsgis.hub.arcgis.com. Ask the community for its most recent inspection report too; they have to keep it.
Scottsdale assisted living questions
Arizona licenses 172 assisted living communities in Scottsdale as of November 2026: 28 larger communities and 144 small residential homes of 16 or fewer residents, with about 4,324 licensed spots in all.
The median cost of assisted living in Arizona is $6,250 a month (CareScout 2025), compared with $6,200 nationally. Prices vary with the room, the level of care and the community, so ask each one for its current rate sheet. The table on this page shows each community's published price or a Lilisity estimate where we have one, and our free guide lists the questions to ask about cost.
Medicaid doesn't pay rent or meals in assisted living. Most states offer a Medicaid waiver or program that can pay for care services at participating communities for people who qualify; not every community takes it, so ask each one. Arizona's Medicaid agency or your local Area Agency on Aging can tell you what's available.
