What was cited on May 7, 2025, in plain words
Emergency responder forms
A state law that requires a standard form for each resident, given to paramedics in an emergency: medicines, contacts, and care wishes.
It means paramedics get the facts they need quickly if a resident must go to the hospital.
Cited at 18% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Is the emergency form for each resident kept up to date? Where is it kept?
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?
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?
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 32% 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?
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 28% of similar homes 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: 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).
- 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.
