Arizona’s Independent Assisted Living Directory
Desert Roots Care is a free, independent directory of licensed assisted living homes, assisted living centers, and adult foster care facilities across Arizona. Every listing above comes directly from Arizona Department of Health Services licensing records — not paid placements, not sponsored rankings. We update our data monthly, and every facility is presented on the same terms.
Why search with us instead of a national directory?
Most senior care directories make money by charging facilities referral fees when a family moves in — sometimes thousands of dollars per placement — and that creates an incentive to rank whoever pays the most, not necessarily the best fit. We work differently: our listings are ranked by license status and location, not by who’s paying us. Learn more about how we source our data and how we make money.
