Our read on Skilled Nursing Unit At Oro Valley Hospital

The Skilled Nursing Unit at Oro Valley Hospital runs 5.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 44 percent above the national average of 3.86, that's the kind of staffing margin that shows up in everyday care, not just on paper. Weekend hours dip roughly 8 percent below weekdays, though the floor stays well above average even then, and turnover at 40.8 percent sits under the national 45.8 percent. Nine deficiencies are on record with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and a 5-star inspection rating from a May 2026 survey is about as current as it gets. For-profit corporate ownership, 33 beds, and a clean inspection history together explain the grade without any single number carrying it.
