The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas
Senior care costs vary significantly depending on the type of care required. Specifically, nursing home care is generally far more expensive than other types of care. In Scottsdale, the average monthly cost of nursing home care is $6,540, which is more than $3,000 higher than the cost of assisted living. Home care costs are much less expensive than nursing home care but higher than assisted living at an average of $4,767 per month. Continuing to live at home can be far more expensive when considering all of the costs involved. Expenses such as rent, meals and utilities are in addition to the cost of in-home care. These costs are generally included in the price of assisted living, making it a more cost-effective option.
Senior Care Cost Comparison Chart
Arizona’s Medicaid system is known as the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System. It provides low-income families and individuals with health care services, such as physician and dentist services, hospital care, laboratory tests, prescriptions and transportation.
To qualify for regular coverage under the AHCCCS, seniors applying alone may not have an income that exceeds $1,041 per month, while married applicants’ income may not exceed $1,409 per month. There are no asset limits for the state’s regular Medicaid benefits.
Seniors living in Scottsdale can apply for AHCCCS coverage by calling (800) 564-5465.
Arizona Long-Term Care System
Seniors who require financial assistance with the cost of long-term care may be eligible for coverage under the Arizona Long-Term Care System. This program pays for the cost of services provided by long-term care facilities, including assisted living. Participants in the ALTCS also receive coverage for dental care, physician services, prescription medication and specialty care. A Medicaid case manager coordinates services.
To qualify for ALTCS, seniors must be 65 years of age or older. Their income may not exceed $2,313 per month, and they may not have resources valued at more than $2,000. Exempt assets include the applicant’s home, a single vehicle and personal belongings. Applicants must require a nursing level of care to be eligible for ALTCS, although they aren’t required to reside in a nursing home.
To apply for ALTCS, seniors can visit the Phoenix ALTCS Office at 801 East Jefferson Street MD 3900 in Phoenix or call (928) 753-2828.
Home and Community-Based Services
The state of Arizona offers an HCBS program that operates outside of the AHCCCS. It provides senior citizens with the opportunity to continue living at home or within an assisted living community even when they require consistent nursing care. The program covers the cost of personal care or assisted living services, nurse visits, nonmedical transportation and a variety of home care services. Arizona’s Area Agencies on Aging administer it with the support of the state government.
To qualify for the HCBS program, applicants should be at least 60 years of age or legally disabled and unable to perform activities of daily living. While there is no cost to participate in the program, HCBS does accept voluntary contributions.
To apply, seniors living in Scottsdale can contact the Maricopa County Area Agency on Aging at (602) 264-2255.
Optional State Supplement
Most states provide a cash benefit to aged, blind and disabled individuals and families who require additional funding to pay for their health care and housing. In Arizona, the OSS provides this benefit to low-income residents who require housekeeping assistance due to functional impairment. The state supplement pays recipients up to $70 per month.
To qualify, applicants should be functionally impaired and receiving the federal Supplemental Security Income benefit. Those who are financially eligible for AHCCCS automatically qualify.
To apply, seniors can contact the Maricopa County Area Agency on Aging at (602) 264-2255.
Senior centers provide elderly individuals with the opportunity to remain active in their communities through social activities and programs. In Scottsdale, senior centers offer programming that includes social media and computer classes, bridge games, luncheons and group shopping trips.
