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.
