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 three deficiencies at its last routine inspection (April 25, 2025, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 61% of similar communities had 2 or fewer at theirs.

4 deficiencies cited at the routine inspection before it, in 2023.

One complaint inspection in the past two years led to a citation, and four 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 six inspections since September 2023, the state never cited the same area twice.

ADHS accepted its plan to correct each of the 3 deficiencies cited in the past two years.

What was cited on April 25, 2025, in plain words

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 41% of similar communities 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 30% of similar communities in the past two years.

Ask on a tour May we read the residency agreement and the move-in assessment before we sign?

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?

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.
