Our read on Totally Kids Specialty Healthcare - Sun Valley

Totally Kids Specialty Healthcare in Sun Valley runs a pediatric-focused operation, and the staffing numbers show it: 10.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two and a half times the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only about 7% below weekdays, and turnover sits at 31%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for these kids tend to stay. The tradeoff is a long inspection record, 41 deficiencies, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated February 2026. Quality measures score 5/5; health inspections land at 3/5. For a small 45-bed corporate-owned home, the care delivery side looks stronger than the paperwork side.
