Arizona Senior Care Facts

Senior Care in Arizona: Facts for Families

If you’re helping an aging parent or loved one, you’re far from alone. These numbers show how manyArizona families are navigating the same questions, and why so many choose care at home.

1.57 million Arizonans are 65 or older

That’s about 1 in 5 people in our state. As the East Valley’s senior population grows, more families are planning for the support their loved ones will need.

75% of adults 50 and older want to stay in their homes as they age

Most older adults prefer to remain in the home and community they know. In home care makes that possible, with help for daily tasks, safety and companionship.

151,500 Arizonans 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's

That's 11% of the state's 65+ population. Familiar surroundings and steady routines can reduce confusion, which is why many families choose dementia care at home.

242,000 Arizonans are unpaid caregivers for a loved one with dementia

Together they provide 379 million hours of care a year, valued at $9.7 billion. Professional caregivers can give family members time to rest, work and simply be a son, daughter or spouse again.

In-home care can cost less than assisted living

For families who need part-time help, in-home care often costs less than a move to assisted living.
