What started as a Town of Paradise Valley mailer turned into four Town public hearings over the course of three months, and on January 22, 2026, assisted living homes lost their occupancy zoning status from 10 residents down to 6. AALHA, Paradise Valley assisted living owners, families, and supporters attended each hearing and spoke in favor of keeping the 10-resident occupancy. Despite strong support and clear demand for residential assisted living, the Town moved forward with the reduction. While this was disappointing, it strengthened our commitment to continue fighting for housing choice and access to care for Arizona seniors.
AALHA continued this advocacy at the State Capitol. Jean Pederson, Jennifer Wassermann, and Government Affairs Consultant Elizabeth Goodman were present as SB 1473 passed unanimously through its first committee hearing. This is an important step toward protecting assisted living homes and the rights of seniors to choose where they live.
This progress would not be possible without the dedication of AALHA’s Board Members, whose leadership and advocacy continue to make a difference for providers, families, and residents across Arizona.

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

Dear AALHA Members and Supporters,

As we take a moment to reflect this Thanksgiving, all of us at the Arizona Assisted Living Homes Association want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to you — the dedicated assisted living home owners, caregivers, operators, and advocates who make our mission possible.

Because of your commitment to serving Arizona’s seniors with dignity, safety, and compassion, we have accomplished so much together this year. From ongoing advocacy at the state and local levels, to providing CEU education, networking opportunities, and resources for your homes, AALHA has grown stronger because of your involvement and support.

Whether you attended one of our trainings, participated in our community discussions, reached out for guidance, or simply remained engaged as a member, your trust and dedication mean everything to us.

You are the reason our association exists — and the reason seniors across Arizona continue to receive exceptional care in residential assisted living homes.

As we look ahead, we’re filled with optimism for the year to come. We are committed to standing with you, supporting your homes, and advocating for fair and sensible regulations that protect both residents and providers.

From all of us at AALHA, we wish you and your family a warm, joyful, and blessed Thanksgiving. 🦃

With gratitude,
The AALHA Board & Team
