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 two deficiencies at its last routine inspection (August 11, 2026, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 55% of similar communities had 1 or fewer at theirs.
3 deficiencies cited at the routine inspection before it, in 2025.
Three complaint inspections in the past two years led to a citation, and four others found nothing to cite. 50% of similar communities had 2 or fewer.
No enforcement action by ADHS in the past two years. The same is true of 33% of similar communities.
Cited at more than one inspection since March 2024: Administration (two inspections).
ADHS accepted its plan to correct each of the 7 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 August 11, 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?
Memory care
Rules added in 2025 for homes that offer memory care: dementia training hours for staff, written plans to prevent wandering, and assessments for each memory care resident.
They apply to residents living with dementia in a memory care setting.
Cited at 7% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How many hours of dementia training has each caregiver had this year?
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.
