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” (10), “Assisted Living Center-Directed” (4), “Assisted Living Center-Personal” (1).

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. 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.

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, or ask a Lilisity advisor for current prices.
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.
