Overview of Starfish Care Homes at River Hills

Located at 6611 East River Hills Place in the River Hills Estates neighborhood of Tucson, Arizona, Starfish Care Homes at River Hills operates as a 10-bed assisted living community administered by Ben J Silverman. The facility, established in 2012 and operated by Starfish Care Homes, LLC, provides directed care, personal care, and supervisory care services. Operating tenure spans 13 years, indicating sustained operational experience.

The small 10-bed capacity is unusual in the assisted living sector, where peer facilities typically operate 50-150 beds. The intimate scale contrasts sharply with larger assisted living communities, potentially appealing to residents prioritizing a smaller residential environment.

The setting is car-dependent (walk score 0), positioned 7.4 miles from downtown Tucson and 2.32 miles from TMC for Children hospital.

Recent inspections demonstrate clean regulatory standing.

The Arizona Department of Health Services conducted two annual compliance reviews; the first was on August 21, 2023, and the second on October 22, 2025. Both of these were conducted without identifying deficiencies, complaints, or enforcement actions. This record places the facility in the top tier of Arizona assisted living residences: zero deficiencies per year versus an Arizona average of 3.7, zero enforcement actions versus the state average of one, and zero complaints documented.

Arizona’s Long Term Care System (ALTCS) covers eligible Medicaid residents in approved assisted living homes; the facility’s participation status and specific amenities are not detailed in public regulatory records.

Starfish Care Homes at River Hills is a small assisted living community with a documented clean compliance record, suitable for residents seeking a modest-scale setting in a car-dependent Tucson neighborhood.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Arizona

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Arizona?

Assisted living in Arizona supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Arizona?

Assisted living in Arizona is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Arizona Medicaid cover assisted living?

Arizona Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Arizona) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 575 assisted living facilities in Arizona. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Arizona?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Arizona, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Arizona?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
