VI at Grayhawk operates in Scottsdale as a continuum-care community spanning nursing home, skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, and memory care. The address is 7501 E Thompson Peak Pkwy. Medicare and private pay are accepted. Walk Score of 8 means the area is car-dependent; groceries, pharmacy, and most services require a vehicle.
Occupancy runs at 36.7%, notably low for Arizona nursing communities. Residents average 86 days.
Total nursing hours hit 4 hours 46 minutes per resident daily: 1 hour 25 minutes RN, 1 hour 8 minutes LPN, 2 hours 45 minutes CNA; that’s 14% above the Arizona average. Physical therapy alone provides 16 minutes per resident daily (167% above state average). Weekend RN coverage doesn’t drop; it stays at 1 hour per day, when many facilities cut back.
Total headcount: 117 staff including 11 full-time RNs, 18 LPNs, and 63 CNAs. Staff per resident runs 116% above the Arizona average. This is a heavily staffed operation.
Over five years, 8 deficiencies and 4 health citations (all corrected). The facility ranks first in Arizona for citations per inspection at 1.33 versus the 3.82 state average. But recent findings point to specific execution gaps: a resident fall from incorrect gait belt use during transfer, unsafe oxygen tubing placement, and infection control lapses. These aren’t systemic patterns; they’re moments where protocol broke down despite available staff.
VI at Grayhawk reads as over-resourced for its current patient volume. The staffing depth, weekend coverage, and therapy allocation suggest a facility built for high acuity or large census that isn’t materializing. For short-stay post-acute or memory care requiring robust staffing, capacity exists. For families seeking a high-staffing model in a lower-occupancy setting, the operational math works.
