Mohave County has 30 published senior-living communities on Local Senior Advisor, spread across Lake Havasu City (15), Kingman (10), Bullhead City (4), and Fort Mohave (1). The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the county's population at 228,102 in 2025, including about 78,551 people age 65 and older, across roughly 13,332 square miles of land.
The listings come from public records, mainly Arizona Department of Health Services license data, plus senior-living directories for independent living.
Care Levels in Mohave County
Assisted Living: 23 communities in Mohave County offer assisted living. In Arizona these are licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) as assisted living homes (10 or fewer residents) or assisted living centers (11 or more), each approved for supervisory, personal or directed care services.
Memory Care: Three listings show memory care. Arizona has no separate memory care license; memory care is provided by assisted living facilities licensed for directed care, the highest service level, often in a secured unit. Ask each one how its memory care area is staffed and secured.
Skilled Nursing: Six communities provide skilled nursing. Arizona licenses these as nursing care institutions, and most are also certified by CMS. They provide 24-hour nursing care and often short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay.
Independent Living: One community lists independent living, which ADHS does not license because it comes without personal care. These listings come from senior-living directories.
Licensing and Building Size
By license type, Mohave County's published listings include ten assisted living centers, 13 assisted living homes, six nursing care institutions, and one community without an assisted living home or center license number on file.

Paying for Care
Local Senior Advisor does not yet have verified, community-by-community pricing for Mohave County. As a statewide reference, the 2024 CareScout Cost of Care Survey (formerly Genworth) put Arizona's median for assisted living at $6,370 a month, above the national median of $5,900, and nursing home care at $7,604 a month for a semi-private room and $10,494 for a private room. Actual rates depend on the room, the level of care and the facility. The Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS), part of the state's Medicaid program AHCCCS, can help eligible residents pay for long-term care; ask each community whether it accepts ALTCS.
