Vi at Silverstone Cost: What Families Actually Pay

**Vi at Silverstone does not publish starting prices publicly.** Pricing depends on apartment size, the assessed care level, and current availability — which is why a real number only comes after a tour and a nursing assessment.

If you'd like a sense of where the quote is likely to land before you tour, that's exactly what we do — we've helped many Scottsdale families compare quotes across communities at no cost. [Request guidance](/contact) and we'll walk through it with you.

For broader Scottsdale market context: larger assisted living communities in Scottsdale generally fall in the $5,000–$10,000+/month range before level-of-care add-ons, per industry surveys (Genworth, A Place for Mom). Memory care typically adds $1,000–$2,500/month over base assisted living rates in the same building. These are market ranges, not community quotes.

For broader Scottsdale market context: residential assisted living (RAL) homes in Scottsdale generally fall in the $4,500–$10,000+/month range all-in for a private room, per industry surveys (Genworth, A Place for Mom). Luxury and concierge-style homes can match or exceed big-box pricing. These are market ranges, not quotes — every home prices individually.

**Community fee / move-in fee.** A one-time fee, often a few thousand dollars at communities in this tier. Sometimes negotiable. Ask if any portion is refundable.

**Level-of-care add-ons.** Most communities use a points-based or tiered system. The base rate covers the apartment, meals, and basic support. Bathing assistance, medication management, transfers, incontinence care, and dementia care all add tiers — and a single tier upgrade can move the monthly number noticeably.

**Second-person fee.** If a couple is moving in together, the second person typically adds a separate monthly amount.

**Annual rate increase.** Most Scottsdale communities raise rates roughly 5–8% annually. Ask for the actual average over the last three years.

**Care reassessment.** If needs change, the community will reassess and may raise the level-of-care charge mid-year. Ask how often reassessments happen and how disagreements are handled.

On a like-for-like basis, the most useful comparison is the **all-in monthly total** at your loved one's currently assessed care level — base rent + community fee amortized + level-of-care charge + any second-person fee — not the headline "starting at" number.

It's also worth touring a boutique residential assisted living home alongside Vi at Silverstone on the same week. For residents with higher care needs, the all-in RAL number often comes in comparable to or lower than a large-community base rate plus add-ons. Not always — but often enough to make it worth seeing both before deciding.

Then ask: *"What does the same resident look like in 12 months if their care needs increase one tier?"* That projection is often more useful than the headline number.

**Medicare** does not cover assisted living rent in any community.

**Medicaid (ALTCS in Arizona)** is generally not accepted at premium and national-brand AL communities; it can be accepted at some smaller residential homes. Eligibility involves both medical and financial criteria.

**Long-term care insurance** often covers a portion of assisted living. Bring the policy to the tour and ask the community's billing office to walk through what they accept and how reimbursement works.

**VA Aid & Attendance** can add a meaningful monthly benefit for qualifying veterans and surviving spouses.
