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 10 deficiencies at its last routine inspection (July 28, 2026, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 55% of similar communities had 1 or fewer at theirs.
2 deficiencies cited at the routine inspection before it, in 2025.
Six 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.
ADHS took one enforcement action in the past two years, with civil penalties of $250 in all. 33% of similar communities had none.
Cited at more than one inspection since February 2024: Emergency responder forms (four inspections), Admission and residency agreements (three inspections), Staffing and staff records (three inspections), and three other areas.
ADHS accepted its plan to correct each of the 23 deficiencies cited in the past two years.

What was cited on July 28, 2026, in plain words
Staffing and staff records
Caregiver qualifications and records: skills checked before working alone, training, CPR and first aid cards, TB screening and fingerprint clearance on file.
It is about whether the people giving care have been trained and checked, and whether the home can prove it.
Cited at 46% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How are new caregivers trained, and how long before they work a shift alone?
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 33% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour May we read the residency agreement and the move-in assessment before we sign?
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 Citations here are about plans missing, out of date, or not followed.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?
Medical records
Each resident's record: what care and medicine was given and by whom, required notices, and keeping records private.
Complete records let the next caregiver, a doctor or a hospital know what happened.
Cited at 26% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do caregivers record medicines and care? Can family see the record?
Directed care services
Care for residents who cannot direct their own care, such as many people with dementia: closer care planning, weight checks, and exits that are safe for them.
These rules protect residents who cannot speak up for themselves.
Cited at 26% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do you keep residents with dementia safe without locking them in?
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 42% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Where are cleaning products and medicines kept?
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.
