A composite 0–100 score combining this facility's inspections, citations, complaints, and enforcement actions relative to the Arizona state average. We don't score profiles with fewer than 3 inspections on record because a small inspection history reads as "below average" on every count-based metric — that would over-reward a facility just for being new.

A Caring Manor I Reviews
David Simms
This care facility is horrible. Ive been family with the care givers and owners all my life. They're Mormons and prefer to give thanks to some so called prophet Joseph Smith. The cost of the rooms varies on occupancy, however for 5 - 8,000 dollars a month, the residents are not fed home cooked meals, they're fed TV dinners as the administrative staff have too much to do. They have hired they're kids and pay them more then the seasoned certified care givers in which the kids dont accomplish their care giving duties. The manager of one home was not certified and they audited by the state. The attention to individuals is down played and almost seems like a nuisance to the care givers instead of an opportunity. I caution each and every person looking for a home for their loved ones to avoid this home as well as A carring Manor II. Too many games and word plays to which the amount of money is not justified. Please keep your loved ones from this facility.What do you like most about living here?
