Who pays, and how full it is

Many residents here pay privately or through insurance. In Arizona, Medicaid pays for 58% of resident days at a typical home.

  • 30% Medicaid
  • 7% Medicare
  • 62% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average86%Arizona typical: 81%
Cost of care per resident day$890Arizona typical: $396

Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending September 2024. The cost per day is what care costs the home to provide, not the price you would pay; ask the home for its private-pay rate. A busy home may have fewer open beds, so ask about availability.
