Arizona long term care is in remarkably high demand due to its high concentration of senior citizens. The typical yearly price tag of AZ long term care is greatly influenced by the site at which care is given. Private nursing homes typically cost upwards of $ 70,000 a yr while assisted living facilities yield an annual bill of about $ 40,000. Those with the means to self insure generally take the private pay route. However, many care giving families choose to deplete the retirement savings (paying out of pocket) accounts and then resort to government assistance.

Arizona's state Medicaid program, referred to as the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, administers Arizona's Long Term Care Partnership Program with the help of private insurance companies. The Partnership program in Arizona has been in place since 2008 and is subsequently rather new to AZ long term care. The partnership entails that policies be complete with requirements for inflation protection, tax qualification, date of issue, state residency, and report of services rendered.

Additionally, to be a "partnership policy" in the state of AZ, insurance policies must involve an asset disregard benefit. The asset disregard benefit, which is unique to Arizona long term care, has significant ramifications for individuals going through the Medicaid eligibility process. When applying for Medicaid in Arizona, the asset disregard benefit allows the amount of paid benefits by a qualified policy equal to the holder's total assets to be disregarded.

Senior citizens in AZ encompass approximately 14 % of the state population
