Inspection Reports for Desert Peak Care Center
8825 S 7th St, Phoenix, AZ 85042, United States, AZ, 85042
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on March 18, 2025, cited three deficiencies related to policies and procedures for physical and behavioral health services, medical record documentation, and care planning. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving care planning, abuse prevention, policies and procedures, and maintenance issues, with some surveys citing multiple deficiencies in these areas. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions listed in the available reports. Prior reports noted issues with emergency preparedness, corridor doors, and smoke barriers, but the facility met Medicare Life Safety Code standards based on accepted plans of correction. The inspection history shows ongoing challenges in documentation and care planning, with no clear trend of overall improvement or worsening.
