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 19 deficiencies at its last routine inspection (October 30, 2024, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 57% of similar homes had 3 or fewer at theirs.
Two complaint inspections in the past two years led to a citation, and one other found nothing to cite. 60% of similar homes had none.
ADHS took one enforcement action in the past two years, with civil penalties of $1,250 in all. 58% of similar homes had none.
Across three inspections since October 2024, the state never cited the same area twice.
ADHS accepted its plan to correct each of the 20 deficiencies cited in the past two years.

Enforcement actions

What was cited on April 25, 2025, in plain words
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 Citations here are about plans missing, out of date, or not followed.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 29% of similar homes in the past two years.

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: 383 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, also looked into a complaint.
- 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).
- An area is one section of Arizona's assisted living rules, such as Medication or Service plans.
- Counts only: ADHS does not rate or rank homes, and neither do we.
