CMS assigns Surprise Health and Rehabilitation Center an overall star rating of 5 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. This composite rating draws from three component measures, each evaluated independently. The health inspection rating stands at 5 out of 5, reflecting the findings from state and federal inspection surveys conducted at the facility. The quality measure rating is also 5 out of 5, based on clinical data across multiple care indicators such as resident mobility, medication management, and hospital readmission rates.

This component rating is calculated using payroll-based data submitted to CMS and adjusted for patient acuity. Surprise Health and Rehabilitation Center accepts Medicare as a payment source, consistent with its Medicare-certified status. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to contact the facility directly at (623) 546-5030 to inquire about Medicaid participation, private pay options, and any additional insurance arrangements that may be accepted. Payment structures for skilled nursing care can vary depending on level of care, length of stay, and individual coverage terms. When compared against national benchmarks, Surprise Health and Rehabilitation Center presents a mixed profile. Its overall 5-star rating, along with 5-star ratings in both health inspections and quality measures, places the facility notably above the national average of 3.0 stars in those categories. However, the staffing rating of 2 out of 5 represents an area where the facility performs below national norms. Staffing levels are a factor that CMS considers significant in overall care delivery, and this rating may be relevant context for those evaluating the facility as a care option. The facility serves a growing suburban population in the West Valley region of metropolitan Phoenix, an area that has seen substantial residential development in recent years.
