What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)

Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 5/5

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 · Jun 2, 2025 · F-0684 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not provide treatment and care that follows the doctor's orders and matches the resident's own preferences and goals.

Why it matters: Care that strays from doctor's orders or ignores the resident's wishes can lead to declining health and avoidable harm.

Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

Corrected: Jun 22, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has plan of correction)

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)	3.23	3.97	3.95	bottom 21% in Arizona; bottom 23% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.63	0.69	0.69	top 41% in Arizona; top 44% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	2.78	3.50	3.50	bottom 15% in Arizona; bottom 20% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.44	0.49	0.48	top 45% in Arizona; top 41% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	51.6	45.2	45.8	bottom 27% in Arizona; bottom 33% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	43.8	43.6	42.9	bottom 50% in Arizona; bottom 46% 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 3.45, RN 0.68, weekend 2.98. Staffing rating: 2/5.

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
