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 (March 11, 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.
Seven complaint inspections in the past two years led to a citation, and seven 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 $4,000 in all. 33% of similar communities had none.
Cited at more than one inspection since February 2024: Administration (seven inspections), Resident rights (four inspections), Staffing and staff records (three inspections), and two other areas.
ADHS accepted its plan of correction for 9 of the 14 deficiencies cited in the past two years. Care Check lists the rest as: POC Submitted (4), POC Rejected (1).

What was cited on July 29, 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?
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 Citations here are about plans missing, out of date, or not followed.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 50% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How often is the care plan reviewed, and can family take part?
Medication
How medicines are stored (locked, at the right temperature), given exactly as the doctor ordered, and recorded each time.
A missed, late or wrong dose can change how a resident feels and how safe they are.
Cited at 39% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Who gives medicines here, how were they trained, and how is each dose checked?
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.
- POC is a plan of correction. IDR is an informal dispute of a citation.
- Counts only: ADHS does not rate or rank homes, and neither do we.
