    Understaffing and negligence led death

    I do not recommend this facility. My family experienced chronic understaffing, poor communication, unanswered call buttons, and nurses who were slow or negligent with medications - issues that led to bruising, hospitalization, an amputation and ultimately death, with administration unresponsive and no adequate follow-up. The rooms are large and homey with private baths, and some staff were kind, but the unsafe care, medication mismanagement, and lack of accountability outweigh any positives.

    About Apache Junction Health Center

    Apache Junction Health Center is a senior living community in Apache Junction, Arizona, offering skilled nursing care and a variety of healthcare services in a state-of-the-art setting. This center has 190 certified skilled nursing beds and serves residents needing long-term care, rehabilitation like physical and occupational therapy, and hospice support, along with short-term or respite stays for those needing a temporary place to recover or rest. There's 24-hour supervision, a responsive call system, and a team of licensed experts and CNAs who provide assistance with bathing, dressing, medication management, transfers, and incontinence care, so residents who use wheelchairs or need extra help aren't left out. Staff members speak English and aim to create a warm, caring environment, though the nurse staffing level currently stands below the state average and the nurse turnover rate is higher than most other places, with 62.1% of nurses leaving compared to a 46.9% state average.

    Residents have access to community amenities like furnished spaces, meals, community activities like bingo, move-in coordination, and a concierge who helps families get settled. The center offers transportation services plus parking for those who come and go, and there's support with everyday tasks and social engagement for seniors who want a little extra help. The admission process works around the clock, and online options for bill pay or virtual tours are available so families can learn more before making a decision. The health center documents inspection results, with the last report on February 21, 2025, showing five deficiencies, including issues with protecting resident information and ensuring the proper handling of belongings and safety from abuse or neglect.

    Apache Junction Health Center is run by Providence Group NH, LLC with backing from PACS Group, Inc. and several indirect owners, and the facility has policies in place for privacy and terms of use, keeping residents' information in mind. The team of physicians and caregivers strives to prevent hospital readmissions by spotting issues early, and staff want residents to feel as comfortable as possible, with spaces designed to be accessible and an environment that feels inviting and safe. While it's classified as a Skilled Nursing Facility and doesn't offer assisted living beds, there are daily living supports and health services available, and the facility tries to help everyone feel at home with activities, a strong care team, and simple comforts.
