What was cited on August 4, 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?
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 44% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How are new caregivers trained, and how long before they work a shift alone?
Service plans
Each resident's written care plan: what help they get, how often, and who gives it. Caregivers must follow the plan, record what they did, and update it when needs change.
The service plan is the day-to-day care a resident receives. Citations here are about plans missing, out of date, or not followed.
Cited at 48% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How often is the care plan reviewed, and can family take part?
Directed care services
Care for residents who cannot direct their own care, such as many people with dementia: closer care planning, weight checks, and exits that are safe for them.
These rules protect residents who cannot speak up for themselves.
Cited at 27% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do you keep residents with dementia safe without locking them in?
Memory care
Rules added in 2025 for homes that offer memory care: dementia training hours for staff, written plans to prevent wandering, and assessments for each memory care resident.
They apply to residents living with dementia in a memory care setting.
Cited at 6% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How many hours of dementia training has each caregiver had this year?
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 40% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Who gives medicines here, how were they trained, and how is each dose checked?
Upkeep and hazards
A clean, safe building: chemicals locked away, hot water at a safe temperature, and nothing in the house that could cause a fall or an injury.
These are the everyday safety checks of the place a resident lives.
Cited at 34% of similar communities in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Where are cleaning products and medicines kept?
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: 81 licensed assisted living centers with 50 to 99 beds in the Phoenix and Tucson areas whose last routine inspection was between September 2024 and September 2026.
- 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.
