Overview of The Terraces of Phoenix

Located at 7550 N 16th St in Phoenix, The Terraces of Phoenix occupies a neighborhood with a Walk Score of 62. This metric suggests a baseline of pedestrian utility for minor tasks, though the prevailing infrastructure still favors automotive transport. The physical plant is a two-story structure configured with 64 beds and a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans, currently operating at 67% occupancy.

The 38-day average length of stay functions as the primary diagnostic indicator for this facility. At thirty-eight days, the model is strictly post-acute. The resident population is in a state of clinical transition, prioritizing recovery from acute hospitalization and preparation for discharge over long-term residential stability. This operational focus informs the staffing allocation. Daily nursing intensity is measured at 5 hours and 17 minutes per resident, comprising 1 hour and 12 minutes of RN time, 2 hours and 19 minutes from nurse aides, and 1 hour and 9 minutes of LPN/LVN coverage. The financial framework accommodates Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, ensuring compatibility with standard post-acute funding streams.

Regulatory oversight is provided by the Arizona Department of Health Services Bureau of Long Term Care Licensing. Official inspections have evaluated systematic protocols regarding infection control, emergency preparedness, staffing credentials, documentation accuracy, and the maintenance of resident protections.

For those navigating the logistics of a post-hospital transition in the Phoenix area, The Terraces of Phoenix offers a specific utility as a short-stay skilled nursing option characterized by apartment-style layouts and a high ratio of nursing hours.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Phoenix, AZ

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.

This page features 14 nursing homes in Phoenix, AZ. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Phoenix, AZ?
