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 one deficiency at its last routine inspection (June 24, 2026). 59% of similar homes had more cited at theirs.
The routine inspection before it (2025) cited none.
Its one complaint inspection in the past two years found nothing to cite. 77% of similar homes had no complaint inspection that led to a citation.
No enforcement action by ADHS in the past two years. The same is true of 58% of similar homes.
Across three inspections since May 2024, the state never cited the same area twice.
For the deficiency cited in the past two years, Care Check lists the plan of correction as: POC Submitted (1).

- Complaint and enforcement figures: 331 licensed assisted living homes with 5 or fewer beds in the Phoenix and Tucson areas licensed for the whole period, September 2024 to September 2026.

- 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.
- POC is a plan of correction. IDR is an informal dispute of a citation.
- Counts only: ADHS does not rate or rank homes, and neither do we.
