What was cited on June 11, 2025, in plain words
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?
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?
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).
- An area is one section of Arizona's assisted living rules, such as Medication or Service plans. A repeat can be a different problem under the same section.
- Counts only: ADHS does not rate or rank homes, and neither do we.
