Assisted living in Catalina, AZ
1 licensed communities, listed alphabetically — Arizona publishes no bulk inspection record, so nothing here is ranked by one.
We don’t publish this state’s inspection record yet — so nothing below is ranked by it.
Assisted living is licensed by the state, not Medicare, and Arizona Dept. of Health Services doesn’t release its inspection and complaint records as a bulk file we can ingest. Several states in this position still let you look up one community at a time on their own site — so the record may well exist; we just don’t have it. We will not invent one: no community below is marked clean, because we have nothing to clear it with. To check a specific community, ask AZ Care Check ↗ for its inspection and complaint history, or call your Long-Term Care Ombudsman ↗ — a free, independent advocate.
Memory care isn’t marked here — because the state doesn’t publish it.
Arizona Dept. of Health Services’s licensing file carries no memory-care or dementia-unit designation, so we cannot tell you which of these communities has one. There certainly are memory-care communities in this state — we just have no authoritative list of them, and we won’t guess from a community’s name. Ask any community directly whether it runs a secured dementia unit, and ask your Long-Term Care Ombudsman ↗ which local communities take dementia residents.

What it costs around here
Median private-pay cost, CareScout (Genworth) 2025 Cost of Care Survey — a regional midpoint, not any single community’s rate. Private rooms and higher care levels cost more; ask for a current quote. Project your own in the cost-of-care planner.
† Memory care is our estimate, not survey data: CareScout does not survey memory care, so we take the assisted-living median for the state and add $1,200/month — the typical secured-dementia-unit premium. It is a planning figure with no state-level detail behind it, and real memory-care pricing varies far more than that. Treat it as a starting point and ask the community for its own memory-care rate.
Estimated cost range · regional
In Arizona, assisted living typically runs about $5,000–$7,500/month.
This is a regional estimate modeled from published survey data (the CareScout/Genworth state median, ±20%) — not this community’s actual price, which it sets privately. Ask the community for its current all-in monthly rate and what each care level adds.
Paying with Medicaid
Arizona Medicaid helps pay for assisted living only in limited circumstances — through a waiver, and not everywhere in the state or for everyone who qualifies.
The Arizona waiver that can pay for it:
- Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS) - Elderly & Physical Disability (EPD) — covers nursing home / in-home / adult foster care / assisted living (delivered via managed care, not a classic 1915(c) waiver)
In Arizona: apply or check eligibility ↗ or call 1-888-621-6880.
A waiver pays for care, not for rent. Even where the state covers assisted-living services, room and board is still the resident’s to pay. Full eligibility limits — income, assets, the look-back — are on our Arizona Medicaid page.
Nearby towns in this state
