About Starfish River Hills
Starfish River Hills is an assisted living home in Tucson, in Pima County. ADHS records list it as licensed for 10 residents at the directed care level, as of September 2026.
The home's website describes 8 private rooms and a large shared space for activities and relaxation. It says the home is staffed with two caregivers during the day and one caregiver overnight for its ten residents. Staffing is the home's own statement, not an ADHS requirement or finding.
The company lists in-home podiatry, lab, x-ray, salon, home health and hospice services, plus physical, occupational and speech therapy.
The company describes one price for custodial care that includes housekeeping, meals, dressing, bathing, laundry and medicines management.
Ask who works at night and how long the caregivers have been there. You cannot tell that from a photo, so ask in person.
Care and services
ADHS licenses the home at the directed care level, the highest of the ADHS assisted living care levels, which covers residents who cannot direct their own care. AZ Care Check lists directed, personal and supervisory care services for the home. It says a nurse practitioner makes house visits and that hospice, home health, and physical, occupational and speech therapy are available. Staffing, per the company, is two caregivers by day and one overnight for ten residents.
Daily life
The company says meals are cooked mostly from scratch with fresh fruits and vegetables. Besides activities coordinated by staff, it says it brings in outside professionals for Geriatric Training, Art Therapy and Music Therapy, and to play games.

Our referral disclosure
Before we refer you to any assisted living home, we send you this notice to read and sign. Here it is now, so you can read it at your own pace.
Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.
We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 70 to 100 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.
By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:
1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.
2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.
To end our services at any time, reply to any email from us or call Integrity Senior Placement at 480.271.7759.
