“Ryan and the entire team at Heritage Oaks provide a remarkably warm and welcoming environment. Their adult daycare program is an incredible resource for easing the transition into assisted living, offering an engaging space centered around community and genuine care.”
“My parents did a temporary stay in the respite unit, so they could experience assisted living without a full commitment. They loved it so much they got on the waitlist for a permanent residence!”
“Mary and Pete's took wonderful care of my brother in a time of great need for our family. I'll always appreciate everything they did. They fed, clothed, and housed him, kept him clean, kept him safe -- everything you could ask for. The staff was wonderful and the atmosphere was very homey.”

How families pay for senior living in Arizona
Most families in Arizona pay for assisted living, memory care and independent living with private funds, often drawing on savings, retirement income and the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a parent or spouse purchased a policy years ago, can also help cover the monthly cost, though the amount and terms vary by policy. Veterans and surviving spouses who meet the eligibility rules may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that adds a monthly payment on top of a standard VA pension and can be applied toward the cost of care.

No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change; the written summary was last revised September 25, 2026.
