Arizona: CMS Rating Breakdown
Arizona has 140 CMS-certified nursing homes, with an average Five-Star overall rating of 3.37 out of 5. The facilities break down by ownership into 122 for-profit homes, 14 nonprofit homes, and 4 government-operated homes, according to current CMS figures.
The Five-Star rating system, while useful as a broad indicator of facility performance, has documented limitations and should not be viewed as a definitive assessment of any individual facility. A statewide average represents an aggregate measure across diverse operations and does not constitute medical, financial, or legal advice. When making decisions about a specific facility, individuals should consult the per-facility pages and each facility's live Care Compare profile to access detailed, current performance data and other relevant information.
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.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
