Nursing homes across Pinal County, Arizona, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Apache Junction Health Center runs 190 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only about 1% below weekdays, so the shortfall isn't a weekend problem; it's the baseline. Annual turnover of 42.6% actually comes in slightly better than the national 45.8%, which matters given how much churn affects daily care.
What stands out more is the inspection record: 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so that record is current, not stale. Federal quality measures score well here, but the staffing and health inspection ratings tell a more mixed story.
Caring House is federally run, which puts it in a small category of nursing homes, and its record reflects that mixed reality. The most recent inspection, in July 2025, turned up sixteen deficiencies, including one that caused actual harm and one tied to abuse, that combination matters more than the overall count, because those are the findings surveyors flag as serious. Two fines totaling $28,695 followed. The quality measure rating of four stars suggests residents' clinical outcomes look decent on paper, but the two-star health inspection rating tells you the physical care environment and safety practices are where the trouble sits. If you're considering this home, ask directly what changed after that July inspection.
Oasis Pavilion runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, 3.30 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so a Saturday problem may take longer to catch. Turnover sits at 41.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because familiar aides notice changes sooner. The inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, including 8 tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and three fines total $13,761. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. A recent inspection closed in December 2025, so the picture is current. Ask about weekend coverage and how abuse allegations get investigated.
