FOOTHILLS REHABILITATION CENTER

Foothills Rehabilitation Center holds a 4-star overall rating from CMS, which means it performs above average when you look at the full picture. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different, so it helps to understand what each one is actually telling you. The health inspection rating comes in at 3 stars, meaning it sits right around average for the number and seriousness of citations found during state inspections. That is not a red flag, but it is worth asking the facility about any recent findings and what steps they took to address them. On staffing, Foothills earns 4 stars, which means residents are getting more nurse time relative to the number of people living there than you would see at most facilities. More staffing generally means faster responses, more attentive care, and less strain on the people caring for your loved one. The standout rating here is the 5-star score on quality measures, which is as high as it gets. This rating looks at 15 clinical and physical health outcomes for residents, things like whether people are maintaining their mobility, avoiding infections, or experiencing declines in daily functioning. A 5-star score means Foothills is delivering results that are much better than average when it comes to actual resident health. That kind of outcome data can be especially reassuring for families choosing a rehabilitation center, since the whole goal is for your loved one to get better and, ideally, return home.
