What Are the Costs of Assisted Living in Arizona?
If you or someone you love is about to make a move to assisted living, cost will be a factor in your decision. Assisted living comes in a range of costs and levels of quality, and it’s important to be aware of what you can expect. This helps you predict costs well enough for budgeting purposes and estimate the quality of an assisted care facility.
The median monthly cost of care in an assisted living facility in the United States is $3,750, while median costs for a semi-private room in a nursing home are $7,148. Average costs in Arizona are slightly lower than this, but generally comparable. More in-depth information about costs in Arizona can be found below.
If you or a loved one has experienced injury or neglect in a nursing home or assisted care facility, you may be entitled to a personal injury claim. Give The Khalidi Law Firm a call, or email us to set up a free consultation today.

What Dangers are Associated with Low-Cost Assisted Living?
Cost of care does not necessarily equal quality of care, but, as with anything else, if you hear a price for assisted living that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Abuse and neglect are not unheard of in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. It can be helpful to keep in mind that you generally get what you pay for with facilities of this kind.
There is a potential for abuse or neglect in any assisted living facility. Physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse and neglect are all possibilities.
