What was cited on February 28, 2025, in plain words
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 23% of similar homes 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?
Staffing and staff records
Caregiver qualifications and records: skills checked before working alone, training, CPR and first aid cards, TB screening and fingerprint clearance on file.
It is about whether the people giving care have been trained and checked, and whether the home can prove it.
Cited at 29% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How are new caregivers trained, and how long before they work a shift alone?
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 19% 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 Citations here are about plans missing, out of date, or not followed.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 29% 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 14% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do caregivers record medicines and care? Can family see the record?
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 22% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do you keep residents with dementia safe without locking them in?
Building and rooms
The building itself: bedrooms (no more than two people, privacy), bathrooms, clean linen, and pool safety where there is a pool.
It is about a resident's own room and the shared spaces they use every day.
Cited at 4% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Who else would share the room, and how is privacy kept?
These explain the rule, not what happened. The state's own report is on AZ Care Check.
How the figures above are counted
- Complaint and enforcement figures: 982 licensed assisted living homes with 6 to 10 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.
