Enforcement actions
AZ Care Check has no enforcement actions on file for this home.
What was cited on October 6, 2025, in plain words
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?
Tuberculosis screening
TB screening for staff and residents, and yearly TB training for staff.
It is a basic infection control rule in a shared home.
Cited at 13% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do you screen new staff and residents for TB?
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?
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 Citations here are about plans missing, out of date, or not followed.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.
Ask on a tour How often is the care plan reviewed, and can family take part?
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.
