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 four deficiencies at its last routine inspection (March 3, 2026, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 55% of similar communities had 2 or fewer at theirs.

The routine inspection before it (2024) cited the same number.

Four complaint inspections in the past two years led to a citation, and three others found nothing to cite. 63% of similar communities had 2 or fewer.

ADHS took three enforcement actions in the past two years, with civil penalties of $2,500 in all. 44% of similar communities had none.

Cited at more than one inspection since July 2024: Administration (three inspections), Directed care services (three inspections), Emergency and safety (three inspections), and three other areas.

ADHS accepted its plan of correction for 22 of the 24 deficiencies cited in the past two years. Care Check lists the rest as: POC Resubmitted (2).

What was cited on May 14, 2026, in plain words

Administration

The duties of the owner and manager: written policies, a caregiver in charge on site at all times, background checks, and telling ADHS about changes such as a new manager.

It is about who is accountable for care at any hour and whether the home runs by its own written rules.

Cited at 55% of similar communities in the past two years.

Ask on a tour Who is in charge when the manager is not here, and how do I reach them?

Emergency and safety

Disaster and evacuation drills, first aid supplies, and what staff must do and record after a resident's accident or injury.

It is about whether staff know what to do in an emergency, and whether the family hears about an injury.

Cited at 39% of similar communities in the past two years.

Ask on a tour When was the last fire drill, and how would you tell me if my parent were hurt?

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: 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.
  • 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.
