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).

No deficiencies were cited at its last routine inspection (July 11, 2025, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 63% of similar communities had at least one cited at theirs.

12 deficiencies cited at the routine inspection before it, in 2024.

Four complaint inspections in the past two years led to a citation, and three 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 $1,250 in all. 33% of similar communities had none.

Cited at more than one inspection since April 2024: Upkeep and hazards (six inspections), Staffing and staff records (three inspections), Administration (two inspections), and three other areas.

ADHS accepted its plan to correct each of the 8 deficiencies cited in the past two years.

What was cited on March 20, 2026, in plain words

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.
