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 eight deficiencies at its last routine inspection (January 8, 2026, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 55% of similar communities had 1 or fewer at theirs.

1 deficiency cited at the routine inspection before it, in 2025.

Five complaint inspections in the past two years led to a citation, and five others found nothing to cite. 50% of similar communities had 2 or fewer.

ADHS took three enforcement actions in the past two years, with civil penalties of $3,750 in all. 33% of similar communities had none.

Cited at more than one inspection since November 2023: Staffing and staff records (five inspections), Administration (two inspections), Emergency and safety (two inspections).

ADHS accepted its plan to correct each of the 18 deficiencies cited in the past two years.

What was cited on August 5, 2026, 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 50% 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?

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: 72 licensed assisted living centers with 100 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: 84 licensed assisted living centers with 100 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. A repeat can be a different problem under the same section.
  • Counts only: ADHS does not rate or rank homes, and neither do we.

Overview

In our words

Las Palomas Senior Living is a large assisted living center in Mesa, and its ADHS record lists directed care services (capacity 24), personal care services (capacity 123) and supervisory care services. According to the community's website, it sits at 9050 East Brown Road, near the foot of Brown Mountain and in view of the Superstition Mountains. Memory care there follows a Montessori based program built around a screening called the St. Louis University Mental Status Exam (SLUMS). Staff are on hand 24 hours a day with a 24 hour emergency response system, there is medication management, and therapy comes through an in house partnership with Legacy Healthcare Services. The site's FAQ says the company does not offer rehabilitation or skilled nursing at any of its communities. Three chef prepared meals a day are included in assisted living and memory care rent.
