Arizona state record
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 12 deficiencies at its last routine inspection (May 15, 2026, a visit that also looked into a complaint). 55% of similar communities had 2 or fewer at theirs.
4 deficiencies cited at the routine inspection before it, in 2025.
Eight complaint inspections in the past two years led to a citation, and two others found nothing to cite. 63% of similar communities had 2 or fewer.
ADHS took seven enforcement actions in the past two years, with civil penalties of $6,000 in all. 44% of similar communities had none.
Cited at more than one inspection since January 2024: Administration (seven inspections), Service plans (six inspections), Medication (four inspections), and five other areas.

What was cited on July 15, 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?
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 Citations here are about plans missing, out of date, or not followed.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?
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: 63 licensed assisted living centers with 50 to 99 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: 76 licensed assisted living centers with 50 to 99 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.
