At 5755 E Main St in Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona, Advanced Health Care of Mesa operates a 38-bed skilled nursing facility specializing in short-term rehabilitation. The privately held facility is administered by Lisa M Harrison under New Ahc Holdings, LLC; active license NCI-2657 expires April 30, 2026.
The community’s patient profile is predominantly Medicare-insured (91 percent), typical for facilities focused on post-acute rehabilitation. Residents stay an average of 28 days before discharge home or to community care. Occupancy runs exceptionally high at 97.3 percent, placing it third among Arizona nursing homes in demand; a pattern suggesting limited availability but steady census.
Staffing includes 16 RNs, 14 LPNs, and 35 CNAs, with additional roles in rehabilitation, respiratory care, and speech therapy. Total nursing care averages 4h 15m per resident daily, marginally above the Arizona baseline.
The regulatory history reveals a mixed picture. Five inspections since 2022 identified 23 deficiencies, substantially exceeding the Arizona average, with recurring issues in discharge planning, infection prevention, and management oversight. An October 2024 recertification survey cited emergency preparedness and fire safety gaps. Complaint investigations in November 2023 substantiated a COVID-19 readmission denial and documented failures to notify residents of transfers and bed-hold policies, alongside hand hygiene breaches during wound care.
Zero critical or serious citations were issued; the facility incurred no federal penalties.
Where the regulatory record shows strain, outcomes data tells a different story. Short-stay residents experienced pneumococcal vaccination at 99.1 percent, new antipsychotic use at 0.1 percent, unplanned re-hospitalization in only 12.5 percent of stays, and successful return to independent living in 75.2 percent; all well above state norms. Falls with major injury occurred at zero percent. This divergence between compliance challenges and quality outcomes suggests operational issues distinct from clinical care quality.
On-site services span post-acute rehabilitation, home health liaison, and hospice coordination. Private suites, fine dining, library, and beauty salon round out community amenities.
The facility structures itself around the short-term Medicare rehabilitation patient; individuals recovering from acute illness or hospitalization and planning to return home or to community settings.
Advanced Health Care of Mesa is legally operated by Ahc Of Mesa LLC, and administrated by Lisa M Harrison.
