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).
Licensed in February 2014. AZ Care Check lists no licensing inspection for it. It has not had a routine inspection yet. Among the homes on file, a new home's first routine inspection has come a median of 17 months after its licensing inspection.
One complaint inspection in the past two years led to a citation, and one other found nothing to cite. 50% of similar communities had 2 or fewer.
No enforcement action by ADHS in the past two years. The same is true of 33% of similar communities.
Across three inspections since June 2025, the state never cited the same area twice.
ADHS accepted its plan to correct each of the 2 deficiencies cited in the past two years.

Enforcement actions
AZ Care Check has no enforcement actions on file for this home.
What was cited on August 5, 2026, in plain words
Resident rights
Dignity and privacy, protection of a resident's money and belongings, and a written copy of their rights at move-in.
These rules protect how a resident is treated as a person, not only the care they receive.
Cited at 27% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do residents or families raise a complaint, and who answers it?
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 42% 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
- Complaint and enforcement figures: 84 licensed assisted living centers with 100 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.
- Counts only: ADHS does not rate or rank homes, and neither do we.
