About The Homestead on 18th
The Homestead on 18th is an assisted living home on East 18th Street in Tucson, licensed for 10 residents. It is licensed for directed care, the level for residents who need staff to direct their day, including many living with dementia.
Ask who works at night and how long the caregivers have been there. You cannot tell that from a photo, so ask in person.
Safety and compliance

What was cited on June 4, 2025, in plain words
Fall prevention training
A state law that requires every staff member to be trained in preventing falls and in helping a resident who has fallen.
Falls are a leading cause of injury in older adults, so this training matters for nearly every resident.
Cited at 12% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour What fall training do caregivers get, and how often is it refreshed?
Tuberculosis screening
TB screening for staff and residents, and yearly TB training for staff.
It is a basic infection control rule in a shared home.
Cited at 13% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do you screen new staff and residents for TB?
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 23% of similar homes 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?

Staffing and staff records
Caregiver qualifications and records: skills checked before working alone, training, CPR and first aid cards, TB screening and fingerprint clearance on file.
It is about whether the people giving care have been trained and checked, and whether the home can prove it.
Cited at 29% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How are new caregivers trained, and how long before they work a shift alone?
These explain the rule, not what happened. The state's own report is on AZ Care Check.
