About small assisted living homes

Arizona licenses two kinds of assisted living. A home like this one serves ten residents or fewer and is usually an ordinary house in a neighborhood, run by its owner or a manager with a few caregivers. Many quote one all-inclusive monthly price, but not all — ask what's included. What differs most from home to home is the people: who owns it, who is awake overnight, how long the caregivers have been there. Neither the register nor a website tells you that. We find out for you.

What to expect on price

Across Arizona, the median assisted living rate for families who moved in during 2025 was about $4,820 a month, and about $5,830 a month for memory care (A Place for Mom, Costs of Long-Term Care and Senior Living 2026, 24,000+ move-ins; Arizona figure). Larger communities and higher care levels run above that, small homes often below it. Treat it as a yardstick, not this home's price — we confirm the real number for you.

Among the Phoenix-area small homes we've researched that state a price online (182 of 1223), the median "starting at" figure is $3,800 a month — a published starting rate, not what a given family pays. Third-party estimates are left out.

Ask us about Desert Palm On Palmaire

We'll email you what we find. We never sell your information. We never charge families. Ever. Your contact information is never given to any provider until you choose them.

Before you visit

  • Ask who owns the home and whether they're there day to day — in a small home, the owner sets the tone.
  • Ask whether a caregiver is awake overnight, and how many caregivers are on during the day.
  • Ask for the all-in monthly price and exactly what it includes — many homes quote one figure, but medication management, incontinence supplies, or a private room can be extra.
  • Ask what happens when care needs grow — can they stay, and can hospice come in?
  • Visit at a mealtime if you can. A small home's kitchen tells you a lot.

We can set the visit up for you and prep both sides — here's how that works.
