Tucson, the second-largest city in Arizona and the county seat of Pima County, is home to an estimated 548,073 residents, roughly 14.3% of whom are seniors ages 65 and up. Older adults living here have the privilege of easily accessing some of the best hospitals in the state, including Northwest Medical Center, Tucson Medical Center and Carondelet St. Joseph's Hospital; the city is also home to a strong population of Medicare-registered physicians and more than 600 pharmacies.

Just like anywhere else, seniors living in Tucson may lose the ability to carry out daily living activities or care for themselves. Many seniors in such tough situations move to nursing homes, which are ideal for seniors who can't live on their own any longer but require less-intensive care than what a hospice or hospital might provide. Nursing homes aren't intended for seniors who can live in active retirement communities or assisted living facilities. 

This guide explores the average cost of nursing homes in Tucson and compares it with average nursing home costs from other cities throughout Arizona. It also touches on why Tucson is well-suited for seniors and covers senior-friendly resources that every older Tucson resident should know about. 



The SeniorScore for Tucson, Arizona



Families often do lots of research about potential retirement destinations for their elder family members before making a final decision. The SeniorScore can help with this process by ranking locations on a scale of 0 to 100 based on their senior-friendliness. Tucson has a SeniorScore of 75 points. This relatively high score is five points greater than Arizona's statewide average of 70 points and the national average of 72. Like every SeniorScore, Tucson's SeniorScore is spread across four categories: General Quality of Life finishes first at 79 points, with Finances taking last place at 54 points.

Many retirees consider moving to Arizona thanks to its great year-round weather; for example, in December, Tucson's coldest month on average, residents enjoy an average high of 66 degrees. Tucson records low rainfall levels, allowing locals to enjoy the outdoors without too many gloomy, overcast or rainy days. Two major factors that lower the city's General Quality of Life score are its very poor air quality and below-average water quality. When it comes to Health & Safety, Tucson has some of the best hospitals in Arizona. According to U.S. News and World Report, Tucson's Northwest Medical Center is in a three-way tie for the title of fourth-best hospital in Arizona. The area also has three hospitals that are tied for seventh place: Banner University Medical Center Tucson, Carondelet St. Joseph's Hospital and Tucson Medical Center. 

Tucson has 41 golf courses, 31 parks and a large population of seniors, all of which boost its Recreation & Leisure score. However, the area's city sales tax average of 9.15% is high compared to the national average of 6.97%.
