Position within Arizona

16 citations — more than 90% of the 2,219 licensed assisted living facilities in Arizona. Compared only within Arizona: a citation from ADHS means what it means in Arizona, and there is no national assisted living record to compare to. Counted over 3 years, which holds two or three routine inspections. How this is calculated

Not in this record

Fire and life safety inspection, and severity. The fire inspection of an assisted living facility is the local fire department's, and ADHS does not publish it. What ADHS does cite about safety is here, under its own emergency and safety standards: evacuation and elopement drills, the annual fire inspection report on file, smoke detectors and extinguishers. ADHS does not rate a deficiency's severity, and its enforcement actions are recorded separately and not republished.
