Greetings! Peace. I have a unique situation. My mother is elderly and requires assisted care, but I want to live with her at the place. She does not like those typical nursing home environments with only elderly people. I want a place where family members can live on site with their loved ones. I am her daughter. I am in Arizona. Thank you!!

You can live anywhere you like with your Mom. Consider sharing an apartment together. Consider a duplex if you can afford one, where you are living next door to one another. Consider a small home with a smaller housing in back.
I think the problem here is that your Mom needs assisted care, and if you are asking if that exists with your being able to live in the same place, I doubt it.
You could live at an assisted living facility, but would have to pay the very high fees. That is very unlikely to be affordable long term unless you have quite a lot of monetary assets.
I am uncertain exactly what your needs are, but would imagine you are familiar with all the ways of living together that exist that we know of.
I sure wish you good luck.
Your only other alternative is to move wherever you'd like and hire caregivers to come in to care for your mother every day. But again, a non-AL living arrangement will not give your mother the benefits of AL where doctors come TO see the residents, where meals are served, where activities and entertainment flourish, etc. Plus, in AL, the caregivers are available 24/7 at the push of a button vs. in non AL places, you'd hire a CG for a specified amount of time only, unless they're hired to live in, which is another kettle of fish.
Good luck!
