What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5
⚠ The most recent standard health inspection was more than 2 years ago — conditions may have changed.
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Nov 9, 2023 · F-0760 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not keep residents free from significant medication errors — such as giving the wrong drug, the wrong dose, or missing a critical medication.
Why it matters: A serious medication error can cause real harm, hospitalization, or worse.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Arizona avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.32 | 3.97 | 3.95 | bottom 24% in Arizona; bottom 27% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.84 | 0.69 | 0.69 | top 23% in Arizona; top 24% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.79 | 3.50 | 3.50 | bottom 17% in Arizona; bottom 20% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.57 | 0.49 | 0.48 | top 25% in Arizona; top 25% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 34.4 | 45.2 | 45.8 | top 17% in Arizona; top 23% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 20.0 | 43.6 | 42.9 | top 13% in Arizona; top 13% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.25, RN 0.83, weekend 2.74. Staffing rating: 4/5.
Self-reported quality measures
Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.
Quality measures rating: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 5/5
