Arcadia Assisted Care.

“Based on observation, record review, and interview, the governing authority failed to designate, in writing, a manager who either had a certificate as an assisted living facility manager issued under Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 36-446.04(C), or a temporary certificate as an assisted living facility manager issued under A.R.S. § 36-446.06. The deficient practice posed a risk as the assisted living facility was unable to ensure compliance with applicable Rules. Findings include: 1. During the environmental inspection of the facility, the Compliance Officer observed a temporary assisted living facility manager's license for R1 with an issue date of July 16, 2025, posted in the facility. 2. A review of E1's personnel record revealed E1 had received their temporary assisted living facility manager's license on July 16, 2025. 3. In an interview, E3 reported they had been the manager for 15 years at the facility, and their assisted living facility manager's license had expired on May 7, 2025, and the facility was without an assisted living facility manager from May 7, 2025, until E1 was issued their temporary assisted living facility manager's license on July 16, 2025. 2. In an interview, E1 and E3 acknowledged the facility was without an assisted living facility manager from May 7, 2025, to July 16, 2025.”
