    Kind staff, concerns about safety

    I had a mixed experience. Many nurses, CNAs, therapists, case managers and reception staff were kind, professional and attentive - therapy and activities were excellent and the place often felt like home - but chronic problems worried me: poor communication/phone response, understaffing and scheduling issues, cleanliness and hygiene lapses, safety/medication handling concerns and occasional neglect or unprofessional conduct. I'd recommend touring thoroughly, asking about oversight, and verifying staffing/cleanliness before deciding.

Residents can get services like wound care, IV therapy, chronic disease management, pain management, and medication support, and the facility has specialized programs such as orthopedic rehab, behavioral health services, comprehensive rehab, and postoperative recovery, plus therapies including physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Sandstone of Tucson offers both private rooms, priced between $6,000 and $8,000 per month, and semi-private rooms, with costs ranging from $5,000 to $7,000 per month, and all rooms can come furnished, have cable TV, kitchens or kitchenettes, sprinkler systems, safety features, and access to washers and dryers, plus there are housekeeping and maintenance services provided. Residents use emergency call systems, can have their own resident cards, and enjoy amenities like in-room dining, a beauty salon, a library, a dining room, residents' lounge, and Wi-Fi or internet in common areas, plus there's a game and activities room, fitness center, and guest parking.

Residents also have access to transportation services for appointments and outings, while medical professionals like podiatry specialists are on site, and the nursing staff covers care 24 hours a day. You'll find long-term care options, family caregiving resources, guidance for Long-term Care Insurance, and nutritional support, plus help with postoperative recovery and pain management too. Medicare services are available and the facility is part of the Sandstone Healthcare Group, which has other locations like Sandstone Spring Valley and Sandstone Estates, making it easy to find care options within the same system. While the facility uses new technology for care delivery and aims to help residents regain or reach their best level of function, there are ongoing infection-related deficiencies meant to be monitored, and you'll want to note the rating is a 4.2-star average from around 147 reviews, so while many residents find the services satisfactory, not everything is perfect. The facility is best known for its skilled nursing care, comprehensive rehab programs, private and semi-private rooms, and steady schedule of activities, so residents get both support and a bit of independence.
