Yes. In-home care in Arizona runs about $3,300 per month for 20 hours a week, which is less than half the state’s $6,185 monthly median for assisted living and well below the $8,365 for a semi-private nursing home room, according to the 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey. For families needing fewer than about 30 hours of care a week, staying home is usually the more affordable option.

Medicare generally pays $0 toward non-medical home care such as companion or personal care, because it only covers short-term skilled home health that a physician orders for a homebound patient. Long-term care insurance and VA Aid and Attendance benefits can offset the cost, and Ativo Home Care is private pay. We help families with long-term care insurance file their claims so they can use those benefits.

Home care is non-medical support with daily living, including companionship, bathing, dressing, meals, and errands, and is paid privately. Home health care is clinical care such as skilled nursing or physical therapy, ordered by a physician and certified by Medicare in 60-day periods. Ativo provides non-medical home care for families who want help staying safe and independent at home.

Common signs a parent needs in-home care include missed medications, unpaid bills or unopened mail, weight loss or little food in the home, declining hygiene, new bruises or a recent fall, and growing isolation. Noticing three or more of these patterns often means it is time to bring in support. Ativo offers a free consultation to help families decide what level of care fits.

Ativo can typically begin care at Arizona Traditions within 24 to 48 hours of your first consultation. Because care is private pay, there are no insurance authorizations to wait on. For discharges from Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center, our local team can have support in place when a loved one comes home.

Every Ativo caregiver completes three checks before placement: a national background check, reference verification, and a skills assessment, and all caregivers are bonded and insured. Because Arizona does not license non-medical home care agencies, a provider’s screening standards are a family’s main safeguard. Ativo holds caregivers to the same standards as the teams inside Ativo Senior Living communities, a bar our director, Gabriela Ordonez, describes as character over skill, and families meet their caregiver before care begins.

Arizona does not require a state license for non-medical home care agencies that provide companion and personal care, so no state license applies to these services. Ativo Home Care operates in full compliance with applicable Arizona regulations, and because the category is unlicensed, Ativo applies the same vetting and training standards used across its senior living communities. Every caregiver is background-checked, bonded, and insured.
