    NursingHomeIQ Analysis

    Summary

    The Center at Tucson is a 96-bed for-profit facility with high quality-of-care ratings, low staff turnover, and zero reliance on outside agency labor, though records show a 20% decrease in nursing hours on weekends.

    Detailed Analysis

    The Center at Tucson shows a data profile characterized by high health inspection and quality measure ratings and a stable administrative history with zero administrator departures in the reported period. Records show the facility provides 4.4 hours of total nursing care per resident per day, which exceeds the Arizona state average of 4.11 hours. However, data indicates a 20.8% reduction in nursing hours during weekends (3.48 hours) compared to the weekday average (4.40 hours), suggesting a fluctuation in available care personnel on Saturdays and Sundays.

    The facility maintains a workforce composed entirely of direct employees, reporting no reliance on agency or contract staff for registered nurses or certified nursing assistants. This contrasts with many facilities that use outside contractors to fill staffing gaps. While the facility holds a five-star health inspection rating, the most recent survey in August 2024 cited three inspection findings, including issues with dietary accommodations and the development of comprehensive care plans. Compared to the state average of 7.7 health inspection findings per cycle, this facility’s count of 3 findings per cycle indicates a lower frequency of cited issues. Quality measure data for short-stay residents received the highest possible rating, and there have been no financial penalties or fines levied against the facility in the current reporting period.

    Key Findings

    Recent inspection findings identified issues with developing measurable care plans, accommodating resident food preferences or allergies, and notifying state agencies of administrative changes.

    The facility reported zero percent use of agency or contract staff, maintaining 100% direct-hire employment for nursing care.

    Total nursing staff turnover is 37%, which is lower than the Arizona state average of 47.7%, while registered nurse turnover is 18.2% compared to the state average of 44.6%.

    Performance Trends (24 months)

    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 Deep Dive

    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.
