What was cited on August 26, 2025, 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 44% 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?
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 17% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do caregivers record medicines and care? Can family see the record?
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: 81 licensed assisted living centers with 50 to 99 beds in the Phoenix and Tucson areas whose last routine inspection was between September 2024 and September 2026.
- Complaint and enforcement figures: 76 licensed assisted living centers with 50 to 99 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.
