I truly love Atria Valley Manor. It did not have the capability to move up to an assisted living category because it was purely independent living. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. The layout of the property is excellent. You feel like you are in your own unit because every unit has an outside entrance and most have patios. It is also extremely well maintained, both inside and out. I told the manager if it wasn't for the fact that we need to prepare for assisted living, I would not have moved. I really like that place. The meals were included, but that would be the only thing I have to knock them down on at all. The quality of food in the four years that we were in there seemed to have degraded. There is more fat than meat and that would be my biggest complaint. Some of the meat was also kind of tough. When we first moved there, that was not the case. It was so well maintained, you would never know it was built in the 1960's.

Splendido at Rancho Vistoso was very nice. I have a feeling that it also costs a lot of money, so I haven't looked into that much further. They are more like regular villas, and they're quite fancy. Its size and layout was great, and the staff was very nice too. I only went there to tour the new villas, so I didn't see their amenities.

I thought Atria Bell Court Gardens was an excellent place. They showed me the one-bedroom, and it was very nice. As far as I could tell, all of them had a patio or a balcony with enough room to sit out on, which I liked. The staff was very nice too. I know they have an exercise area, but I didn't get the chance to see that. They have a library and a nice-looking pool.

I am at the Echelon of Tucson, and it's not as good as I thought it would be. They have a kitchen, and they give you boxed meals. But I could hardly chew the meat because it was so tough. They clean my place once a month, but I have trouble with mails, so it just stacks all over the place, and it is driving me nuts. They do things like bingo or TV, crossword puzzles, and there's a movie about every afternoon. They have a Bible study which I thought they stopped, but I guess they started that again. They have one common room downstairs and one for TV, I think. I have never been there because I am in an electric wheelchair. When I got this place, I had to use my savings to buy furniture, $1780 is a lot and I am not really getting much at all. I got the smallest room in the place. My biggest problem is, of course you need to take a shower, but I have to pay close to $700-$800 just to replace the bathtub.

The people who showed me around Echelon of Tucson were friendly. It seemed very nice and well kept. They told me about various activities that you could do there. The dining area was very nice, the people who did the serving were nice, and the food was good. The apartment had plenty of room. The amenities and everything I saw seemed very nice. Everybody was nice, very amenable and helped out and offered suggestions.

I went to Atria Bell Court Gardens and loved it, but I cannot afford it. It was beautiful. I liked the atmosphere. The place was gorgeous and did not look like a nursing home; it looked like a resort. They were very nice there, the food was delicious, and the staff member, Debbie, was excellent.

We didn't like the Forum at Tucson. It looked like a hospital, and seemed rather institutional. We saw them playing card games. We did not get a full tour, but the rooms we saw were small. It was clean, and the staff members were competent.

Moving to Echelon of Tucson from San Diego was the best move we could have made. My husband, disabled Navy Chief retired, and I absolutely love living here! We couldn\'t have found a better all inclusive, active lifestyle, senior housing community if we tried - especially at such complimentary rates in such a spacious, ADA compliant, well fitted and comfortable apartment. We enjoy water aerobics, Friday outings, afternoon movies in the onsite theater, baking class, Thursday night socials, bookclub, and much much more. Plus the dining experiences are fabulously fulfilling. We have formed many wonderful friendships over a hearty meal. A truly great living experience all the way around.
According to Genworth’s 2018 Cost of Care study, Tucson’s average monthly cost for assisted living of $4,044 is on par with the national average but more expensive than the Arizona state average of $3,800.
Other than Flagstaff, Tucson is the costliest city in the state for assisted living. Smaller cities, such as Lake Havusa ($3,500) and other metropolitan areas such as Phoenix ($3,850), Prescott ($3,775) and Sierra Vista Area ($3,800), are less expensive than Tucson and more in line with the state average.

When considering the cost of senior care, the type of care chosen is typically the main factor. This holds true in Tucson, where nursing home care is more than 50 percent higher than assisted living. Compared to assisted living, home care costs are also more expensive — about $500 to $600 more a month for homemaker services or home health services, respectively. When comparing total costs, keep in mind that the cost of home care does not include rent or mortgage payments or other monthly costs such as electricity, upkeep and groceries. Assisted living and nursing home fees include these additional expenses. Cost of Homemaker/Home Health Aide Comparison Chart

Medicaid is a government-sponsored health care program that provides low- or no-cost medical assistance to qualified individuals. The program covers health services for seniors, including home health, personal care and services provided in a nursing home.
Arizona is one of 11 states that use a 1115 Demonstration Project Waiver to administer their Medicaid programs. Arizona’s Medicaid model (AHCCCS or ACCESS) uses home-based services as the model of choice, but also pays for assisted living in traditional care settings. Tucson has no PACE program. Instead, the state offers similar programs as part of its robust AHCCCS benefits.
Arizona Long-Term Care Services provides financial assistance for long-term care, including assisted living, at home, adult foster and nursing home care. This program also covers related services for assisted living. Services and benefits via ALTCS may include home nursing, meal delivery and durable medical equipment. The applicant must meet disability benefit requirements.
Seniors who are eligible for supplemental security income can also receive Medicaid. Medicaidservices are available to seniors in Tucson with incomes under $12,492 a year for an individual. There may be a requirement to pay into the Medicaid program if income or assets exceed the state limits.

Elderlife Bridge Loans
Elderlife assists Tucson seniors making the move to senior living, such as assisted living facilities. The company administers loans for seniors and their family members to bridge a gap in available funding to pay for care. Online quote tools ask for the monthly fees of the chosen facility and the number of months you need to cover until other funding sources, such as Medicaid, kick in. Loans are approved based on credit rating, but multiple cosigners are allowed and premiums can be split amongst signers. For more information, call (888) 228-4500.
Long-Term Care Insurance
Families of seniors who may need assisted living in the future should determine whether their loved has a long-term care insurance plan that can pay for the cost. If seniors are still living at home, it may not be too late to purchase long-term care insurance. Fidelity’s online calculator can help determine the cost of a policy in Tucson, Arizona, and throughout the United States. For questions about long-term care policies, call (866) 489-0963.
