Enforcement actions
AZ Care Check has no enforcement actions on file for this home.
What was cited on February 24, 2025, 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 23% of similar homes 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?
Admission and residency agreements
What a home must have before a resident moves in, such as a recent health assessment and TB screening, and what the written residency agreement must say.
It is about whether the home knew a resident's needs on day one, and whether the family has the terms in writing.
Cited at 19% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour May we read the residency agreement and the move-in assessment before we sign?
Emergency and safety
Disaster and evacuation drills, first aid supplies, and what staff must do and record after a resident's accident or injury.
It is about whether staff know what to do in an emergency, and whether the family hears about an injury.
Cited at 19% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour When was the last fire drill, and how would you tell me if my parent were hurt?
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 28% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Where are cleaning products and medicines kept?
Fall prevention training
A state law that requires every staff member to be trained in preventing falls and in helping a resident who has fallen.
Falls are a leading cause of injury in older adults, so this training matters for nearly every resident.
Cited at 12% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour What fall training do caregivers get, and how often is it refreshed?
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: 596 licensed assisted living homes with 6 to 10 beds in the Phoenix and Tucson areas whose last routine inspection, between September 2024 and September 2026, was routine only.
- Complaint and enforcement figures: 982 licensed assisted living homes with 6 to 10 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.
