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 (April 20, 2026, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 65% of similar communities had at least one cited at theirs.
7 deficiencies cited at the routine inspection before it, in 2025.
One complaint inspection in the past two years led to a citation, and eight others found nothing to cite. 62% of similar communities had 2 or fewer.
No enforcement action by ADHS in the past two years. The same is true of 45% of similar communities.
Across 11 inspections since March 2024, the state never cited the same area twice.

Enforcement actions
AZ Care Check has no enforcement actions on file for this home.
What was cited on May 2, 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 15% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do you screen new staff and residents for TB?
Administration
The duties of the owner and manager: written policies, a caregiver in charge on site at all times, background checks, and telling ADHS about changes such as a new manager.
It is about who is accountable for care at any hour and whether the home runs by its own written rules.
Cited at 47% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Who is in charge when the manager is not here, and how do I reach them?
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 Citations here are about plans missing, out of date, or not followed.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 46% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How often is the care plan reviewed, and can family take part?
Directed care services
Care for residents who cannot direct their own care, such as many people with dementia: closer care planning, weight checks, and exits that are safe for them.
These rules protect residents who cannot speak up for themselves.
Cited at 25% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do you keep residents with dementia safe without locking them in?
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 37% of similar communities 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 38% of similar communities 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?
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: 159 licensed assisted living centers (11 or more beds) in the Phoenix and Tucson areas whose last routine inspection, between September 2024 and September 2026, also looked into a complaint.
- Complaint and enforcement figures: 198 licensed assisted living centers (11 or more 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).
- An area is one section of Arizona's assisted living rules, such as Medication or Service plans.
- Counts only: ADHS does not rate or rank homes, and neither do we.
