Arizona state record

What the inspections show

The state cited two deficiencies at its last routine inspection (October 24, 2025). 60% of similar communities had 2 or fewer at theirs.

4 deficiencies cited at the routine inspection before it, in 2024.

Three complaint inspections in the past two years led to a citation, and four others found nothing to cite. 63% of similar communities had 2 or fewer.

ADHS took five enforcement actions in the past two years, with civil penalties of $3,000 in all. 44% of similar communities had none.

Cited at more than one inspection since March 2024: Administration (two inspections), Staffing and staff records (two inspections), Upkeep and hazards (two inspections).

What was cited on October 24, 2025, in plain words

Licensing

Operating within the license: the number of residents and the level of care it allows.

A home must not take more residents, or a higher level of care, than it is licensed for.

Cited at 1% of similar communities in the past two years.

Ask on a tour What level of care is this home licensed for, and how many residents?

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: 81 licensed assisted living centers with 50 to 99 beds in the Phoenix and Tucson areas whose last routine inspection was between September 2024 and September 2026.
  • Complaint and enforcement figures: 76 licensed assisted living centers with 50 to 99 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

Cottages at Peoria is a large assisted living center at 9045 West Athens Street in Peoria (Maricopa County, ZIP 85382). ADHS licenses it for 98 residents at the directed care level, the highest of the state's three assisted living care levels, which covers people who cannot direct their own care, for example because of dementia or other cognitive impairment. According to its website, cottagesatpeoria.com, the community offers memory care and respite care, with caregivers on site 24 hours a day, registered nurses and licensed practical nurses onsite, medication management, and visits from a dentist, occupational therapist, optometrist, podiatrist and speech therapist. Rooms are either private, with private bathrooms, or companion rooms shared by two residents, and each has an emergency alert. The site also describes an enclosed courtyard, manicured outdoor spaces and onsite walking trails, and says long-term care insurance, including ALTCS, is accepted for memory care, that the community takes part in Medicaid programs, and that there is a veterans discount. Separately, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan lists this address in its ALTCS network, in provider directories dated January 2025 and July 2025.
