What is Assisted Living and How Does it Work?

Assisted living communities provide personalized long-term senior care. In assisted living, seniors receive an apartment, meals, and all the support they need when they need it. It’s the best option for healthy elders who can manage daily life independently but benefit from just a bit of help with activities of daily living.

Assisted living in Phoenix, AZ, offers a safe environment where your loved ones can continue to have their independence but have support when they need it, even if those needs change. This means having more freedom to embark on new hobbies and engage in a vibrant social life.  

What is An Assisted Senior Living Community?

An assisted living community is a special place where seniors can live on-site and receive a high level of care and support (read more here). It is an empowering choice for older adults in good health who can manage life mostly independently.

My comment is regarding Alec at Avista. He handled a big issue in my brother's room today with professionalism and compassion with as little effect on my brother as possible. Quite an asset to this facility. Thank you Alec. Job well done.

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Arizona asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.

We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.

By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:

1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.

2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.
