State record
This is the home’s public record with the Arizona Department of Health Services — the same record we check before recommending any home. We show it to you either way.
About the grade: it reflects the last 12 months.
We grade each home on the state’s record from the past 12 months— the period that best shows how a home is being run today. Homes fix problems, and we don’t think a resolved issue from years ago should define a home forever. Anything still unresolved counts no matter when it started. The complete history, going back further, is listed below — nothing is hidden.
Every inspection and action below links to the home’s official report on Arizona’s AZ Care Check system, where you can read the specific findings and the plan of correction the home filed with the state.

What this means
Arizona inspects every licensed assisted living home. A “deficiency” is something an inspector found that didn’t meet state rules — some are paperwork, some matter more. Enforcement actions like fines or citations are more serious, and an unresolved one means the issue was still open the last time the state updated its records. None of this automatically makes a home wrong for your family — but it’s exactly the kind of thing to ask about on a tour, and we’ll ask with you.
- No deficiencies at the most recent state inspection (past 12 months)
- No state enforcement actions in the past 12 months
How we score state records
Arizona doesn’t give homes star ratings, so we built a simple, transparent score from the public record. Every home starts at 100 points, and the grade looks only at the last 12 months.
- Each state enforcement action in the last 12 months subtracts points — bigger actions (like a license suspension) subtract more than smaller ones (like a citation).
- A resolved issue older than 12 months doesn’t change the grade — the home fixed it and a year has passed. It still appears in the record above.
- An issue that’s still unresolvedcounts no matter how old it is — because it hasn’t been corrected — and an unresolved action subtracts extra.
- Deficiencies cited at the most recent inspection (within the last 12 months) subtract a few points each, up to a limit.
90 and up is an A, 75–89 a B, 60–74 a C, and below 60 a D. The score is our honest reading of the public record — it’s a starting point for questions, not a verdict.
