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 two deficiencies at its last routine inspection (November 6, 2025). 51% of similar homes had 1 or fewer at theirs.

No complaint inspections in the past two years. 60% of similar homes had no complaint inspection that led to a citation.

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

For the 2 deficiencies cited in the past two years, Care Check lists the plan of correction as: IDR Rejected (2).

What was cited on November 6, 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 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.

How the figures above are counted

Routine figures: 596 licensed assisted living homes with 6 to 10 beds in the Phoenix and Tucson areas whose last routine inspection, between September 2024 and September 2026, was routine only.
Complaint and enforcement figures: 982 licensed assisted living homes with 6 to 10 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).
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.
