Assisted Living Costs in Peoria

The care option chosen can make a significant difference in monthly expenses. The cost for&nbsp;assisted living is nearly $1700 more expensive than&nbsp;adult day health yet notably less costly than every other type of care in the area. The monthly average for a semiprivate room in&nbsp;nursing homes&nbsp;is more than 50% higher than assisted living. For services provided in-residence, remember to factor in daily living and home maintenance costs, such as meals, property taxes and utilities.

For low-income Americans with limited assets, Medicaid is a national program designed to provide health care coverage. Arizona’s Medicaid program, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.azahcccs.gov/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.azahcccs.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System</a> (AHCCCS), is funded federally and through the state and covers a range of services including doctor’s visits, hospital care, prescriptions and&nbsp;immunizations. <a href="https://www.azahcccs.gov/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.azahcccs.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Arizona Long-Term Care Services</a> (ALTCS) is the division of Medicaid that administers aid to seniors and the disabled. Rather than using waivers subject to enrollment caps that result in waiting lists for new applicants,&nbsp;ALTCS&nbsp;provides benefits and services as entitlements. To qualify, Arizona residents must be at least age 65, meet financial and resource guidelines and need a nursing home level of care, as determined by a social worker assessment. Individuals must have a monthly income below $2,313 and assets valued below $2,000. Married couples are subject to the same individual limits. If just one spouse applies, up to $3,160.50 in monthly income can be transferred to the non-applicant, who is also allowed up to $126,420 in assets. Although&nbsp;ALTCS&nbsp;does not pay for room and board in an assisted living facility, various supportive services may be covered, including: <ul>
<li>Care coordination and transition assistance</li>
<li>Behavioral, personal/attendant and dental care</li>
<li>Specialized furniture and durable medical equipment</li>
