Arizona: CMS Rating Breakdown
Arizona's nursing home sector comprises 140 CMS-certified facilities, with an average Five-Star overall rating of 3.37 out of 5 stars according to current official CMS data. The state's facilities break down by ownership type as follows: 122 for-profit homes, 14 nonprofit facilities, and 4 government-operated homes.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a broad indicator of facility performance rather than a definitive assessment of any individual provider. The system has documented limitations that should be considered when interpreting state-level averages. These ratings are relative measures and do not constitute medical, financial, or legal advice.
When evaluating a specific nursing home, stakeholders should consult the per-facility pages and each facility's live Care Compare profile on the CMS website to obtain detailed, facility-specific information relevant to their decision-making process.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.
