Enforcement actions
November 19, 2025
AZ Care Check record of the enforcement action on November 19, 2025, opens in a new tab
What was cited on October 20, 2025, in plain words
Tuberculosis screening
TB screening for staff and residents, and yearly TB training for staff.
It is a basic infection control rule in a shared home.
Cited at 21% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do you screen new staff and residents for TB?
Opioid medication
Extra records required when a resident receives opioid pain medicine, such as the reason for each dose.
It matters for residents on opioid pain medicine.
Cited at 1% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How are pain medicines tracked and reviewed?
Admission and residency agreements
What a home must have before a resident moves in, such as a recent health assessment and TB screening, and what the written residency agreement must say.
It is about whether the home knew a resident's needs on day one, and whether the family has the terms in writing.
Cited at 21% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour May we read the residency agreement and the move-in assessment before we sign?
Service plans
Each resident's written care plan: what help they get, how often, and who gives it. Caregivers must follow the plan, record what they did, and update it when needs change.
The service plan is the day-to-day care a resident receives. Citations here are about plans missing, out of date, or not followed.
Cited at 28% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How often is the care plan reviewed, and can family take part?
Medical records
Each resident's record: what care and medicine was given and by whom, required notices, and keeping records private.
Complete records let the next caregiver, a doctor or a hospital know what happened.
Cited at 17% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do caregivers record medicines and care? Can family see the record?
Medication
How medicines are stored (locked, at the right temperature), given exactly as the doctor ordered, and recorded each time.
A missed, late or wrong dose can change how a resident feels and how safe they are.
Cited at 34% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Who gives medicines here, how were they trained, and how is each dose checked?
Emergency and safety
Disaster and evacuation drills, first aid supplies, and what staff must do and record after a resident's accident or injury.
It is about whether staff know what to do in an emergency, and whether the family hears about an injury.
Cited at 19% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour When was the last fire drill, and how would you tell me if my parent were hurt?
Upkeep and hazards
A clean, safe building: chemicals locked away, hot water at a safe temperature, and nothing in the house that could cause a fall or an injury.
These are the everyday safety checks of the place a resident lives.
Cited at 27% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Where are cleaning products and medicines kept?
These explain the rule, not what happened. The state's own report is on AZ Care Check.
How the figures above are counted
- Routine figures: 246 licensed assisted living homes with 5 or fewer beds in the Phoenix and Tucson areas whose last routine inspection, between September 2024 and September 2026, was routine only.
- Complaint and enforcement figures: 331 licensed assisted living homes with 5 or fewer beds in the Phoenix and Tucson areas licensed for the whole period, September 2024 to September 2026.
- A complaint inspection counts here when it cited at least one deficiency.
- Most ADHS enforcement actions are civil penalties (fines).
- Counts only: ADHS does not rate or rank homes, and neither do we.
