Issue Summary: Paradise Valley Assisted Living Home Occupancy
Final vote is set for Thursday, Jan 22 at 6pm at Town Hall
📍 6401 E Lincoln Drive, Paradise Valley, AZ 85253
Come show your support to keep ALHs at 10 NOT reduced to 6!
The Town of Paradise Valley is considering a policy change that would reduce allowable occupancy in licensed Assisted Living Homes (ALHs) from 10 residents to 6. This proposal directly impacts small residential assisted living homes that are already regulated and licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) under state law.
Why You Need to Stay Involved
This proposed reduction threatens the availability of safe, affordable, and community-based senior care in Paradise Valley. Reducing occupancy:
• Displaces vulnerable seniors who rely on residential care
• Increases costs for families by eliminating economies of scale
• Undermines long-established, state-licensed care models
• Sets a precedent for local interference in state-regulated healthcare housing
Community input matters. Council decisions made now could permanently reshape assisted living options in Paradise Valley and beyond.
Why AALHA Is Advocating
The Arizona Assisted Living Homes Association (AALHA) is advocating to:
• Protect residents from unnecessary displacement
• Defend state licensing authority under Arizona law
• Preserve access to high-quality residential care in 10-bed homes
• Ensure policies are based on facts, safety data, and legal consistency—not perception
AALHA represents providers, residents, and families who depend on these homes. Continued engagement is essential to ensure the voices of seniors and caregivers are heard and respected
