Our Methodology: How We Chose the Best Assisted Living in Tucson

It can be hard to find the right assisted living community, no matter where you live. You’ll want to consider several factors and do plenty of research so you don’t rush the decision. Our team put a great deal of care and attention into finding the best assisted living communities in Tucson, Arizona. We spent over 50 hours comparing communities using the following criteria:

• Cost: The cost of assisted living can vary substantially, even for communities in the same ZIP code. We focused our attention on the most affordable options, plus communities that provide the best value.
• Available care: Some communities provide only standard assisted living care, while others offer memory care, palliative care, independent living options, and even specialized care.
• Reviews: We research assisted living communities to find out what people actually say about them and include only communities that consistently receive positive feedback.
• Amenities: Amenities can vary from one community to the next, but it’s important to consider all the available amenities and how they serve the unique needs of different seniors.
• Location: A community’s location can make it more or less convenient for accessing shopping, medical services, and entertainment. Some communities are farther away from urban areas, which may be preferable for people who want to live outside the city.
• Staff size: We focus our attention on assisted living communities that offer high staff-to-resident ratios, often with a minimum of eight staff members per resident.
