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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Arizona

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 nursing home care?

Yes — Arizona Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 81 nursing homes in Arizona. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
