Short-term rehab or long-term care?

Medicare rates these separately, and many homes are better at one than the other.

Short-term rehab

For a stay of a few weeks after a hospital visit, such as after surgery or a stroke.

Medicare has not rated this part of the home’s care.

  • Newly given antipsychotic drugs2.8%State average: 1.2%
    Worse than average

Physical therapist time: about 3 minutes a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is less than the state average of 6 minutes. It is not one person’s therapy schedule; if rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.

Long-term care

For residents who live at the home for months or years.

Medicare quality rating: 5 of 5 (much above average)

Who pays, and how full it is

Most residents here have their care paid by Medicaid. In Arizona, Medicaid pays for 58% of resident days at a typical home.

  • 71% Medicaid
  • 2% Medicare
  • 27% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average81%Arizona typical: 81%
Facility operating cost per resident day$447Arizona typical: $396

Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending December 2024. The cost per day is what care costs the home to provide, not the price you would pay; ask the home for its private-pay rate. A busy home may have fewer open beds, so ask about availability.

Ratings over time

Its overall Medicare rating is 2 stars now, down from 4 stars in January 2019. It has ranged from 2 to 5 stars and changed 9 times.
