Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Arizona
Arizona is home to 140 CMS-certified nursing homes listed in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The statewide average overall rating stands at 3.37 of 5 stars. Facilities throughout Arizona are displayed with their overall, health-inspection, and staffing star ratings to provide a transparent overview of quality measures across the state.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure with acknowledged limitations. The ratings presented here reflect data from May 2026 and are not intended as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. This metric represents one factor among several that families and individuals should weigh when selecting a nursing home. Location, the specific type of care required, an in-person facility visit, and direct conversations with staff and clinical leadership all play important roles in the decision-making process.
Individuals and families should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making any decisions based on these figures.
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.
