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 four deficiencies at its last routine inspection (August 6, 2026). 51% of similar communities had 1 or fewer at theirs.
The routine inspection before it (2025) cited none.
None of its three complaint inspections in the past two years led to a citation. 22% of similar communities had no complaint inspection that led to a citation.
No enforcement action by ADHS in the past two years. The same is true of 45% of similar communities.
Across four inspections since March 2025, the state never cited the same area twice.

Enforcement actions
AZ Care Check has no enforcement actions on file for this home.
What was cited on August 6, 2026, in plain words
Emergency responder forms
A state law that requires a standard form for each resident, given to paramedics in an emergency: medicines, contacts, and care wishes.
It means paramedics get the facts they need quickly if a resident must go to the hospital.
Cited at 25% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Is the emergency form for each resident kept up to date? Where is it kept?
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 Citations here are about plans missing, out of date, or not followed.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 46% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How often is the care plan reviewed, and can family take part?
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 34% 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: 43 licensed assisted living centers (11 or more beds) in the Phoenix and Tucson areas whose last routine inspection, between September 2024 and September 2026, was routine only.
- Complaint and enforcement figures: 198 licensed assisted living centers (11 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.
- 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.
