ADHS writes a Statement of Deficiencies after each inspection that finds a rule was not met. The community then files a plan of correction, which ADHS accepts or rejects. ADHS investigates complaints on site. A complaint inspection that ends with “No deficiencies were found” did not find a rule violation; deficiencies cited on a complaint inspection are listed with that inspection. AZ Care Check does not list complaints that did not lead to an on-site inspection. Enforcement cases are actions ADHS takes after an inspection, such as a civil money penalty, a provisional license or a license revocation, with their status. This community is licensed for 145 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.
