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 seven deficiencies at its last routine inspection (September 27, 2024, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 50% of similar homes had 3 or fewer at theirs.

Three complaint inspections in the past two years led to a citation, and one other found nothing to cite. 77% of similar homes had none.

ADHS took two enforcement actions in the past two years, with civil penalties of $2,500 in all. 58% of similar homes had none.

Cited at more than one inspection since September 2024: Administration (two inspections), Fall prevention training (two inspections), Medication (two inspections), and two other areas.

ADHS accepted its plan to correct each of the 19 deficiencies cited in the past two years.

What was cited on April 14, 2025, in plain words

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 34% 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?

Admission and residency agreements

What a home must have before a resident moves in, such as a recent health assessment and TB screening, and what the written residency agreement must say.

It is about whether the home knew a resident's needs on day one, and whether the family has the terms in writing.

Cited at 21% of similar homes in the past two years.

Ask on a tour May we read the residency agreement and the move-in assessment before we sign?

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 34% of similar homes 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: 77 licensed assisted living homes with 5 or fewer 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: 331 licensed assisted living homes with 5 or fewer 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.
