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).
The state cited five deficiencies at its last routine inspection (March 4, 2026, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 61% of similar communities had 2 or fewer at theirs.
The routine inspection before it (2025) cited none.
One complaint inspection in the past two years led to a citation, and one other 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 three inspections since January 2025, the state never cited the same area twice.
ADHS accepted its plan to correct each of the 5 deficiencies cited in the past two years.

Enforcement actions
AZ Care Check has no enforcement actions on file for this home.
What was cited on March 4, 2026, in plain words
Emergency responder forms
A state law that requires a standard form for each resident, given to paramedics in an emergency: medicines, contacts, and care wishes.
It means paramedics get the facts they need quickly if a resident must go to the hospital.
Cited at 25% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Is the emergency form for each resident kept up to date? Where is it kept?
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?
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?
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 34% of similar communities 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: 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.
