How much does assisted living cost in Peoria?
Peoria has some of the most inconsistent cost reporting of any Arizona city we’ve researched, and it’s worth understanding why before you start comparing options:
- Several sources put Peoria’s average around $3,850–$4,047 a month, close to or slightly above the Arizona state average.
- Other 2026 data reports a significantly higher average of $4,500–$5,500 a month, with a typical range of $4,000–$6,600.
- One 2024 state cost-of-care survey figure, calculated from an annualized amount, works out to roughly $6,371 a month — notably higher than most other estimates for the city.
- Individual community pricing runs as low as $2,095 up to $6,700 or more, depending on facility type and care level.
Real talk: that’s an unusually wide spread even by this industry’s standards, and it likely reflects Peoria’s genuinely mixed market — a large number of small, affordable Assisted Living Homes alongside a growing number of larger, higher-end senior living communities. Don’t anchor to any single “average” for Peoria; get quotes based on the specific facility type and care level you need.
