TUCSON, ARIZONA – The Santa Rosa Care Center at 1650 N Santa Rosa Ave in Tucson sold for $17.2 million ($119,000 per bed / $433 PSF). Built in 1966, this is the first time the 39,685 square-foot masonry constructed senior living facility has changed ownership. The asset includes 2.93 acres and closed August 18, 2022.

Santa Rosa Care Center is Medicare certified, AHCCCS certified facility, fully licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services for 144-bed Skilled Nursing and Behavioral Health Services. It has been in the same location for the past 50 years.

Its license is duly issued by the State of Arizona and includes both medical and behavioral care services to provide quality and compassionate skilled nursing and behavioral care 24 hours a day, with Board Certified Medical Director who oversees the quality care provided to residents.

The behavioral care units at Santa Rosa Care Center are gender specific and create a closely structured environment for those in need of a more heavily directed daily living experience.

The specially trained staff, including caregivers with CPI certification, are skilled in caring for those with unusual behaviors and / or memory deficits that require monitoring and intervention. These secured units have cameras as well as coded, alarm-protected entrances and exits to help provide a safer and more secure living environment.

The Behavioral Program Director is a much-respected member of the psychiatric medical community and has been directing the programs for the past 10+ years. Santa Rosa Care Center also features a specialized unit for residents with Alzheimer’s and Dementia.

Most people would prefer to live in their own homes; however, for many, there will be a time when health issues, physical limitations, or psychological impairments will require 24-hour care and assistance.

Santa Rosa Care Center professionals provide an environment where residents are comfortable, clean, and safe. They can enjoy their lives, regardless of any physical limitations. Care and services are always provided with dignity.

We understand our residents’ daily needs and their interaction with family members is certainly encouraged.
