All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Flagstaff,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Aspire Transitional Care runs a tight ship on the clinical side, with quality measures landing at the top of CMS's scale. Staffing sits at 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 10% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover is a mild concern at 47.8%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies but none at the harm level, two tied to abuse, and the most recent survey was in August 2025. For a 50-bed nonprofit in Flagstaff, the numbers lean favorable, with staffing consistency worth watching.
The Peaks runs a solid nursing floor on paper: 4.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, which earns its staffing marks. The catch is consistency and oversight. Weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday level, turnover sits at 58.6% against a national 45.8%, and its last inspection in November 2024 left 28 deficiencies on record, including four tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level. A nonprofit with 58 beds and a recent two-star health inspection history means families should ask directly how weekends are covered and what changed after that harm finding.
Haven Of Flagstaff runs 3.35 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 43.8%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, but the inspection record is the harder read: 24 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and nine tied to abuse, with a $13,098 fine and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The 5/5 quality measure score reflects resident care metrics, not the survey history. Last inspection was March 14, 2025, so the record is current. For-profit corporate ownership. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically about the abuse-related findings and how weekend staffing gets covered.
