Senior services in the Verde Valley

Senior housing is what Christian Care offers at 859 S 12th Street in Cottonwood. Its own site describes subsidized independent living and subsidized assisted living, says the housing is HUD subsidized, and states that ALTCS benefits are accepted, which matters a great deal for a fixed income. A resident and family portal, a photo gallery, and a page on paying for senior living are also posted. The phone number on file is (928) 634-7571. Note that the name listed here is spelled Cottonwwood, a typo on our side rather than theirs. It serves Cottonwood.

Cottonwood Village Senior Living Community is at 201 E. Mingus Ave in Cottonwood. Its own site lists three levels of care: independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Residents live in apartments, and the site describes wellness, recreational, and educational programs along with landscaped courtyards. Tours can be scheduled. Dogs are welcome. Note the two phone numbers listed: (928) 634-4229 is listed here, while the community's own site gives (928) 723-4540, so the second is the safer one to call about a tour. It serves Cottonwood, Jerome, Cornville, and Sedona.

Verde Valley Caregivers is a nonprofit at 299 Van Deren Rd offering accessible transportation and help for older neighbors. Its site lists rides, services for seniors, pet assistance, neighbor safety checks and social activities, and it runs on volunteers, with a handbook for passengers and pages for people who want to drive. Annual reports and 990s are posted on the site. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, with the weekend closed. The group serves Cottonwood, Sedona and Camp Verde. Call (928) 204-1238 to ask about a ride, a donation, or volunteering. No email address is listed.

Verde View Senior Apartments is a housing community for older adults at 377 W State Route 260 in Camp Verde. It is tied to RHF, a group that runs affordable housing for older adults and other people in need. To ask about open units, rent, or how to apply, call the local office at (928) 567-9378. You can also email info@rhf.org. The RHF website lists its communities and shares which ones have openings. Waiting lists are common for this kind of housing, so it helps to ask early and to have your income papers ready when you apply.
