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 (May 5, 2025, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 61% of similar communities had 2 or fewer at theirs.

The routine inspection before it (2024) cited none.

One complaint inspection in the past two years led to a citation. 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.

ADHS accepted its plan to correct each of the 3 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 May 5, 2025, 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?

Tuberculosis screening

TB screening for staff and residents, and yearly TB training for staff.

It is a basic infection control rule in a shared home.

Cited at 15% of similar communities in the past two years.

Ask on a tour How do you screen new staff and residents for TB?

Service plans

Each resident's written care plan: what help they get, how often, and who gives it. Caregivers must follow the plan, record what they did, and update it when needs change.

The service plan is the day-to-day care a resident receives. Citations here are about plans missing, out of date, or not followed.

Cited at 46% of similar communities in the past two years.

Ask on a tour How often is the care plan reviewed, and can family take part?

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).
  • Counts only: ADHS does not rate or rank homes, and neither do we.
