An Intimate, Personalized Senior Care Option

When most people think of long-term senior care, they think of the traditional nursing home, with round-the-clock supervision, in-house medical care, and a high degree of support. However, this option is not right for everyone! In the Phoenix metropolitan area alone, there a wealth of senior living facilities that offer varying degrees of clinical care, social support, amenities, and independence. Many seniors in Maricopa County find that they can no longer live at home alone, but still desire a high degree of autonomy and to live in a home-like environment. In this situation, an assisted living home is the ideal solution!

What is an Assisted Living Home?

Assisted living homes (also called senior group homes) share many similarities with traditional retirement communities, but with a much greater emphasis the comfort, familiarity, and social enrichment that comes from shared housing. Most assisted living homes in the Phoenix metropolitan area have the following characteristics:

A Residential Home Setting:

As with other types of group homes, an assisted living home is typically located in a private home in one of Maricopa County’s residential neighborhoods. The transition from living at home to moving into an assisted living facility can be overwhelming for many Phoenix area seniors; with an assisted living home, residents often feel immediately at ease! Residents have comfortable private or semi-private rooms.

A Family Atmosphere:

Assisted living homes in the greater Phoenix area traditionally serve no more than 10-12 seniors and have a higher ratio of staff-to-residents than other senior placement options. The result is a more intimate, family-like setting where residents and staff build strong relationships.

Convenient In-Home Services:

Assisted living homes in and around Phoenix offer home-cooked meals, housekeeping and laundry services, medication management, social programming, and transportation services. As opposed to traditional nursing homes, assisted living homes usually do not have full-time medical staff on-site.

Before making a decision, you should talk with an experienced placement expert.

Common questions

Questions families ask about group homes

What is a senior group home?
A group home, which Arizona licenses as an assisted living home, is usually a private house in one of Maricopa County's residential neighborhoods. It shares much with a retirement community but puts far more weight on comfort, familiarity, and the social warmth of shared housing. Residents have private or semi private rooms, and many feel at ease almost immediately after moving in.
How many seniors live in a Phoenix group home?
Traditionally no more than 10 to 12. That small size is the point. Assisted living homes in the greater Phoenix area keep a higher ratio of staff to residents than other senior placement options, so residents and caregivers build strong relationships and the atmosphere feels like a family rather than an institution.
How much does a group home cost in Arizona?
Assisted living group homes can range from about $2,000 for a semi private room up to $10,000 a month, and they typically ask a deposit of $500 to $2,500. Where your loved one lands in that range depends on their level of care needs and your budget. We will tell you what a home really costs before you fall in love with it.
What services does a group home include?
Assisted living homes in and around Phoenix offer home cooked meals, housekeeping and laundry services, medication management, social programming, and transportation. Unlike a traditional nursing home, they usually do not keep full time medical staff on site. That suits a senior who can no longer live alone safely but does not need clinical care around the clock.
Is a group home right for my loved one?
It can be a strong fit if your aging loved one is struggling to live independently but worries about giving up autonomy. Before you decide, talk with an experienced placement expert. Our staff will walk through every housing option with you, tour group homes at your side, and help you find the family atmosphere your loved one will settle into.

What families say

I worked with David Pionteck to help me find a perfect place for my brother who has parkinsons and is moving to Scottsdale from New Jersey. David is professional, knowledgeable and really fun to be around. He set all the appointments to look at facilities and group homes and always met me with a smile. He was great during this stressful time. We found a wonderful group home.

I was in search of a group home for my mother whom was living out of state. Needing to find placement sooner than later. Touched base with both Reina and Tom with Integrity Senior Placement and they made this transition seamless! From scheduling the tours and answering all the questions I had to even checking on my mother once she moved and reaching out to me as well. The compassion they showed was so nice. Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing assistance with their aging loved one!

David helped me find an assisted living group home on short notice for my uncle who was in a SNF for rehab. He made himself available to show some homes so quickly and was very kind to us. He explained the process to my uncle and everything worked out very well.

I can’t express enough how much help David was in placing my dear elderly friend in a long term living facility. He went above and beyond helping her feel comfortable transitioning out of her home and found her the most beautiful accommodations. He was so knowledgeable and compassionate. I highly recommend his services!
