Sandstone Estates Rehab Centre demonstrates high performance in clinical quality metrics alongside a high volume of health inspection findings and elevated staff turnover rates compared to Arizona state averages.
Analysis of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services data shows a profile characterized by high scores in clinical quality measures but significant challenges in health inspection results. The facility currently holds a 5-star rating for quality measures, which tracks clinical outcomes such as pressure ulcers and hospitalizations. However, it maintains a 1-star rating for health inspections, with 13 recorded findings in the most recent survey cycle, exceeding the state average of 7.7. These findings involve issues such as supervision to prevent accidents, meeting professional standards of quality, and assistance with activities of daily living.
Staffing data presents a complex picture. While total nursing hours of 4.52 per resident per day exceed the Arizona average of 4.12, there is a notable reliance on contract workers, with 13.9% of registered nurse hours provided by temporary agency staff. Stability is further impacted by a 56.6% nursing staff turnover rate and a 54.5% turnover rate for registered nurses, both of which are higher than state benchmarks. Additionally, one administrator departure was recorded in the most recent period. While the facility has seen an increase in total nursing hours and a decrease in turnover from previous peaks of 78.6%, the data reflects ongoing fluctuations in the consistency of the caregiving team.
The facility recorded 13 health inspection findings in the most recent cycle, which is higher than the Arizona state average of 7.7.
Nursing staff turnover is 56.6%, exceeding the state average of 47.7% and indicating that more than half of the nursing workforce left within a one-year period.
Weekend nursing coverage drops to 4.04 hours per resident day from a weekday average of 4.52 hours, a reduction in available care during Saturdays and Sundays.
This shows how the facility's federal ratings have changed over the past 24 months. Consistent high ratings suggest stable quality, while declining trends may warrant further investigation.

Staffing depth is the strongest predictor of care quality. Facilities routinely cut staff on evenings and weekends — the shifts when falls happen and call lights go unanswered.
