Overview of VI at Silverstone

North Scottsdale’s VI at Silverstone operates 24 beds as part of a Life Plan Community under Cc-Silverstone, Inc, with Andrew Quinn serving as administrator. The facility at 23005 N 74th Street provides skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care for Medicare and private-pay residents, averaging 66 days per stay.

The facility maintains 84% occupancy, surpassing Arizona’s average, and holds a 5-star CMS rating driven by health inspection performance 44.9% above state benchmarks and staffing levels 44.5% above average. Daily nursing care reaches 5 hours 39 minutes per resident; the fourth-highest in Arizona.

Amenities encompass fitness facilities, dining, pet-friendly housing, and multiple unit configurations from one to three bedrooms.

Inspection history since 2023 reveals recurring compliance challenges despite strong structural ratings. Seven inspections yielded 11 deficiencies (matching state average), four complaints (33% fewer than state), zero enforcement actions, and zero critical or serious citations.

Yet deficiency patterns repeat: infection control dominates at 40% of findings, alongside abuse prevention gaps and pharmacy compliance issues. March 2025 illuminates the pattern: a compliance survey on the 13th documented five deficiencies covering infection control oversight, drug labeling, and administrator policies; the Medicare recertification on the 17th reported zero deficiencies.

Falls with major injury run 6.9% (227% worse than state). Incontinence rates hit 30.9% in low-risk long-stayers, 48% above benchmark. Yet depression registers at 0% (100% better), antipsychotic use at 1.7% (83% better), and weight loss at 2.4% (56% better), signaling strong behavioral and nutritional management.

Short-stay residents excel: zero antipsychotic initiation (100% better), 65.1% successful discharge to home or community, and strong vaccination compliance at 96% for influenza.

Financially, the facility reports $1.9 million net income and 25.2% profit margin. Yet payroll consumes just 16.4% of $38.6 million revenue; the lowest ratio statewide and 70% below well-managed peer facilities.

Vi at Grayhawk

7501 E Thompson Peak Pkwy, Scottsdale, AZ 85255
Overview of VI at Grayhawk

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.
