Why Arizona

One of the Fastest-Growing Senior Housing Markets in the U.S.

  • No state inheritance tax and favorable business environment attract investors and operators nationwide
  • ADHS licensing is well-established with predictable timelines for buyers and sellers
  • Phoenix, Tucson, Scottsdale, and Mesa each offer distinct opportunities across all asset classes
  • Strong cap rates relative to California — comparable demographics at significantly lower acquisition cost

Arizona Licensing

Understanding Arizona's Senior Housing Licensing Framework

Arizona licenses both Assisted Living Facilities (10+ residents) and Assisted Living Homes (10 or fewer residents) through ADHS. The COO process includes background checks, administrator verification, and a compliance inspection. Processing typically takes 60–90 days. Haven coordinates all stages to protect occupancy.

Haven's advisory team guides buyers and sellers through every stage of the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) change-of-ownership process, ensuring no surprises derail your transaction timeline.
