Nursing homes across Pima County, Arizona, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Casas Adobes runs about 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 50.5%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same aides from month to month. The health inspection record is the real concern: 19 deficiencies, seven of them abuse-related, even though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in May 2026. The quality measure stars look strong, but the inspection side is where you'd want to ask hard questions before choosing this 230-bed for-profit home.
Life Care Center of Tucson runs about average on nurse hours per resident day, essentially even with the national figure, though weekends dip roughly 16% below what the home staffs during the week, so coverage thin out when families tend to visit. Turnover sits slightly better than the national rate, which matters for consistency of care. What stands out is the inspection record: 50 deficiencies, seven tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating, against much stronger marks on quality measures and staffing. The last full inspection was in July 2024. Corporate-owned, 162 beds. The staffing and quality numbers look solid; the survey history is where the concern lives.
Devon Gables runs 312 beds in Tucson under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing picture is mixed. At 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 8% thinner than its own weekdays, but annual turnover of 28.2% is well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The trouble is the inspection record: 21 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with the last inspection in July 2023. A 2-out-of-5 inspection rating against a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating tells you the care hours are decent, but the survey history is where the risk lives.
Sandstone of Tucson Rehab Centre runs 240 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, and turnover runs 46.4%, slightly above the national 45.8%. What stands out most is the inspection record: 63 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 27 tied to abuse, with $55,090 in fines across two penalties. That history is what drives the one-star health inspection rating, even though the quality measure score sits at the top and staffing rates well. The last inspection was April 2026. Ask about the abuse-related citations directly before deciding.
