Overview of Devon Gables

Devon Gables sits at 6150 East Grant Road in Tucson, Arizona, on a moderately walkable stretch with a Walk Score of 58. The 312-bed facility is one of the larger nursing care settings in the state, operated by Devon Gables Rehabilitation Center, LLC under administrator Heather Friebus. Care designations span nursing home, assisted living, independent living, and memory care. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.

Occupancy is currently at 73%, with 227 of 312 beds filled. The average length of stay is 165 days; long enough to suggest this is serving a meaningful mix of longer-term residents alongside shorter rehabilitation stays.

The rehabilitation scope is broad: physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapy are all offered, along with RN case management and a restorative nursing program. Alzheimer’s care and behavioral therapy extend the clinical range beyond standard skilled nursing. Total nursing hours run at 4 hours and 8 minutes per resident per day. Registered nurses account for 30 minutes of that daily figure; nurse aides provide 2 hours and 21 minutes.

State inspections at this facility have tended to focus on resident rights and protections, fall and injury prevention, and environmental and hazardous-materials safety.

At 312 beds with a wide care range from rehabilitation, memory care, behavioral support, to long-term nursing, Devon Gables is suited to older adults or their families who need a large, full-service facility in Tucson that accepts Medicare and Medicaid and can accommodate shifting care needs over time.

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.
