Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Sun City may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Sun City care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Sun City, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Phoenix, Glendale or White Tanks.

Residential Care Home
I only have praise for this home, it's owners and care givers. This choice is allowing me to sleep better at night, knowing my Father is well cared for.
I discovered this place from a good friend who's mother living here. Its a very nice home with lots of windows and a big backyard. As soon as i walked in the house smelt amazing and it didn't feel like I was in an actually assistant living home, it felt like an actual home. My father loves being here and the family loves having him around. Every time the weekend comes around I look forward to visiting dad and spending lunch with him.
5 stars ... My mother has been there a short time, but I am extremely happy with Sonoran Hills! They have made me feel right at home. I love it so far!!!! Best decision I have made for my mom

The average cost of senior living in Sun City is 2,917 per month. Cheaper nearby regions include Goodyear, AZ with an average of 2,711 per month.
Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.
Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:
Originally designed in 1960 as a seniors-only suburb, Sun City has continued to thrive as an oasis for active retirees to spend their golden years. Residents have all conveniences and necessities immediately available to them within Sun City’s limits, such as unique shopping and dining, healthcare facilities, community parks, and more.
In Sun City, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The median monthly cost of a room in a care home is about $3,100 in the metropolitan area and $3,000 in the state of Arizona. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly. To learn more about the cost of care homes in Sun City, contact A Place for Mom’s Senior Living Advisors.
The total household expenses associated with living in Sun City are rated 43 points below the national average. Grocery and other essential costs are also rated below the average.
