Scottsdale Independent Living

With its year-round sun, upscale shopping, plenitude of restaurants, culture amenities, and still affordable senior care, Scottsdale is a desert oasis in the American Southwest. Use our advanced search to find an assisted living facility in just the right part of town. Before you search, learn about what to expect for cost of care and some of the attractions Scottsdale has to offer.

The Scottsdale cost of living is equal to the national average. Residents pay a combined state and local tax rate of 8.7%. For tax purposes, seniors can exempt up to $2,500 total of military, civil service, and Arizona state/local government pensions. Additionally, there is no inheritance or estate tax.

A recent national survey on long-term care by Genworth Financial found the following Scottsdale senior care costs: a private, one-bedroom in an assisted living facility averages $3,600 a month (the national average is $3,261); a private room in a nursing home, expect to pay $226 a day on average--a semi-private averages $183.

Whether you want to take continuing education classes, stay in shape or just socialize, check out Scottsdale's two senior centers: Granite Reef Senior Center and Via Linda Senior Center. For more information, go to the City of Scottsdale's website.

Enjoy downtown Scottsdale's 90 restaurants (the entire city has 6,023 restaurants) and 320 shops. Here you'll also find the Scottsdale Historical Society and Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art, The Center for Performing Arts and the Stagebrush Theater. Another local attraction is Casino Arizona at Talking Stick, 240,000-square-foot casino, resort and spa, complete with 36-hole golf course.

Explore the 17,000-acre McDowell-Sonoran Preserve on its many trails. You'll see dozens of species of birds--Cactus Wren, Black-Tailed Gnatcatcher, Northern Mockingbird, to name a few--and dozens of mammal and reptile species. Among the flora and fauna you'll encounter are the "Jumping Chollas", the Creosote Bush, Ironwood, Mormon Tea and many more.
