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 Independent Living in Arizona

What is independent living?

Independent living communities are residential settings for active older adults — typically with private apartments or cottages, shared amenities (dining, fitness, activities), and no built-in medical care.

How many independent living communities are listed on this page?

This page features 229 independent living communities in Arizona. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right independent living community 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 independent living communities 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.
