AZ Care Check has no enforcement actions on file for this home.
What was cited on November 5, 2025, in plain words
Opioid medication
Extra records required when a resident receives opioid pain medicine, such as the reason for each dose.
It matters for residents on opioid pain medicine.
Cited at 13% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How are pain medicines tracked and reviewed?
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 47% 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: 43 licensed assisted living centers (11 or more beds) in the Phoenix and Tucson areas whose last routine inspection, between September 2024 and September 2026, was routine only.
- 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.

Overview
In our words
Assisted Living at the Dementia Care and Education Campus is run by Hospice of the Valley and opened in 2022 on a 3.2 acre campus in Phoenix's Arcadia neighborhood. It is licensed for 18 residents at the directed care level, the highest of Arizona's assisted living care levels, and ADHS records also list personal care and supervisory care among its service types. The community's website describes personalized care for people with all types and stages of dementia, with doctors, nurses, social workers and dementia educators always on hand for medication and health needs, and it lists private rooms and a suite. An earlier company release said the assisted living building houses up to 12 residents with mild, moderate or advanced dementia, some with behavioral problems, who may or may not be on hospice. The campus is laid out around a central green space with a grassy area, planters, benches and walkways, and separate walking paths look out on Camelback Mountain. A 2021 report on the campus also described a 10 person hospice inpatient care home and a memory cafe on the same site. Days include art, music, exercise and cooking, and the center has an onsite chef, housekeeping and salon services.
According to the community's own site, Hospice of the Valley, a not-for-profit, runs the center as an innovation of its broader hospice work. Jewish News, North Central News and Arcadia News all covered the 2022 opening at the time, and the company keeps a website for the center at dementiacampus.org.
