Enforcement actions
AZ Care Check has no enforcement actions on file for this home.
What was cited on August 29, 2025, in plain words
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 19% 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?
Food service
Menus and snacks posted ahead, special diets, and food safety, such as keeping cold food at 41 degrees or below.
It is about meals that meet a resident's diet and are safe to eat.
Cited at 7% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour May we see this week's menu, and how do you handle special diets?
These explain the rule, not what happened. The state's own report is on AZ Care Check.
