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 (July 8, 2026, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 55% of similar communities had 1 or fewer at theirs.
4 deficiencies cited at the routine inspection before it, in 2025.
Three complaint inspections in the past two years led to a citation, and one other found nothing to cite. 50% of similar communities had 2 or fewer.
ADHS took two enforcement actions in the past two years, with civil penalties of $1,000 in all. 33% of similar communities had none.
Cited at more than one inspection since December 2023: Medication (four inspections), Resident rights (three inspections), Service plans (two inspections).
ADHS accepted its plan to correct each of the 9 deficiencies cited in the past two years.

What was cited on July 8, 2026, in plain words
Medication
How medicines are stored (locked, at the right temperature), given exactly as the doctor ordered, and recorded each time.
A missed, late or wrong dose can change how a resident feels and how safe they are.
Cited at 39% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Who gives medicines here, how were they trained, and how is each dose checked?
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: 72 licensed assisted living centers with 100 or more 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: 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. A repeat can be a different problem under the same section.
- Counts only: ADHS does not rate or rank homes, and neither do we.
