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 5, 2026, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 53% of similar communities had more cited at theirs.
The routine inspection before it (2025) cited none.
Two complaint inspections in the past two years led to a citation, and 15 others found nothing to cite. 63% of similar communities had 2 or fewer.
No enforcement action by ADHS in the past two years. The same is true of 44% of similar communities.
Cited at more than one inspection since January 2024: Administration (two inspections).
ADHS accepted its plan to correct each of the 2 deficiencies cited in the past two years.

How the figures above are counted
- Routine figures: 63 licensed assisted living centers with 50 to 99 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: 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.

Overview
In our words
Brookdale Trail Ridge is an assisted living center in Sun City West, licensed by ADHS at the directed care level for up to 56 residents. That is the highest of the three ADHS assisted living care levels, and it covers people who can no longer direct their own care, such as residents with dementia or other cognitive impairment. The same license also covers personal care services and supervisory care services, and ADHS records show it is held by BREA SUN CITY WEST LLC, while the community goes by the Brookdale name. According to the community's website, Brookdale Senior Living runs it, memory care on site goes by the name Clare Bridge, and a further program, Clare Bridge Solace, serves residents in advanced stages of dementia. The site also describes a secured perimeter with keypad entry, and lists a courtyard and garden, a gardening greenhouse, a porch, walking paths, a beauty and barber shop, a therapy room and pet-friendly policies.
