Located on the Colorado River in southwest Arizona, Yuma, the sunniest city on Earth, is home to about 98,500 people, including almost 16,000 seniors aged 65 or older. Genworth’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey reveals that the city’s seniors pay an average of $3,800 per month for assisted living services. Memory care is around 25% pricer, averaging $4,750 per month, due to the increased amount of supervision and specialized care individuals with dementia need.
