The facility operates with 112 certified beds and is classified under for-profit ownership as a limited liability company. It is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, making it eligible to serve residents under either federal program. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are derived from three primary data sources: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Sabino Canyon Rehabilitation & Care Center received a 3-star rating in health inspections, indicating performance at or near the national average for survey results. The staffing rating is also 3 stars, reflecting staffing levels and consistency comparable to the national norm. The quality measure rating stands at 5 stars, the highest rating available, indicating that the facility performs notably well across the clinical quality indicators tracked by CMS for this category. Sabino Canyon Rehabilitation & Care Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment. This dual certification is significant for prospective residents and their families when evaluating coverage options. Individuals covered under Medicare Part A may be eligible for short-term skilled nursing facility care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to standard program requirements. Medicaid coverage for long-term care is subject to eligibility requirements determined at the state level through the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS). Private pay and other insurance arrangements may also be accepted, and direct contact with the facility at (520) 722-5515 is recommended for specific billing and coverage inquiries. When compared to national benchmarks, Sabino Canyon Rehabilitation & Care Center presents a mixed but generally above-average profile. The overall 4-star rating surpasses the national average of 3.0 stars, driven largely by its 5-star performance in quality measures. The health inspection and staffing ratings, each at 3 stars, align with national norms rather than exceeding them. This combination suggests that the facility demonstrates stronger relative performance in clinical quality outcomes than in staffing or survey results. Facilities in Arizona and nationally vary considerably across these dimensions, and CMS ratings are updated periodically to reflect the most recent inspection cycles and data submissions.
