Arizona state record
What the inspections show
In Arizona, the Department of Health Services licenses assisted living homes and communities, inspects them and looks into complaints. Its record for each one is public on AZ Care Check (this home's record, opens in a new tab).
No deficiencies were cited at its last routine inspection (May 14, 2026, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 66% of similar communities had at least one cited at theirs.
None of its two complaint inspections since August 2025 led to a citation.
AZ Care Check lists no enforcement action against this license.
This record starts on July 29, 2025, with a change of ownership inspection. Inspections under an earlier owner are not part of it.
