Inspira Arrowhead

Last verified: October 2026 against ADHS AZ Care Check · License ALC20029

Is Inspira Arrowhead licensed by the State of Arizona?

Yes. Inspira Arrowhead holds an active ADHS Assisted Living Center license, number ALC20029, for 200 residents, as shown on AZ Care Check on October 24, 2026. The current license period runs from February 23, 2026 to February 22, 2027.

What level of care is Inspira Arrowhead licensed to provide?

Inspira Arrowhead is licensed for supervisory care, personal care and directed care. Of its 200 licensed beds, 56 are directed care (the Arizona level for memory care) and 144 are personal care.

This mixed license is common for larger Valley communities: residents who need help with daily activities live in the assisted living side, and residents with dementia live in a secured directed care neighborhood, so a resident whose memory declines may be able to move within the same community. The three ADHS levels are defined on the ADHS provider type definitions page.

What do ADHS inspection records show for Inspira Arrowhead?

AZ Care Check lists 5 ADHS inspections for Inspira Arrowhead since February 20, 2026. 1 of the inspection summaries report cited deficiencies and 3 report none; the most recent was a complaint inspection on August 18, 2026.

By type: 4 complaint, 1 change of ownership. Complaint investigations are opened when anyone files a complaint, so a large community like this one (200 beds, the 9th largest center in the two counties) will usually have more of them than a small one. Read the deficiency details, not just the count.

How does Inspira Arrowhead compare with other Glendale assisted living centers?

Inspira Arrowhead is licensed for 200 residents, about 2.1 times the median Assisted Living Center in Maricopa and Pinal counties (96 beds), and is one of 12 licensed centers in Glendale.

By licensed capacity it ranks #1 of 12 in Glendale. Its 56 directed care beds are 28% of its license and 11% of all directed care center beds in Glendale. 8 of the other Glendale centers have held their current license longer.

How much does assisted living cost near Inspira Arrowhead?

Inspira Arrowhead's prices are not part of the state record, so ask the community for its current written rates. Across the Phoenix metro, this site's cost guide puts typical assisted living at about $3,200 to $6,800 a month, with memory care (directed care) usually $1,000 to $2,000 a month higher.

Because this license includes directed care, expect the memory care neighborhood to be priced above the assisted living apartments. Ask for the base rate, the level-of-care fee schedule and what triggers a move to a higher tier, and get them in the written residency agreement Arizona rules require. ALTCS, Arizona's Medicaid long-term care program, can pay for care services (not room and board) at participating facilities — see ALTCS eligibility; wartime veterans and surviving spouses may also qualify for VA Aid and Attendance.

How should families evaluate Inspira Arrowhead?

Start with the state record, then verify it in person: the current license dates only to February 23, 2026, and AZ Care Check shows a change-of-ownership inspection, so the operator may be new even if the building is not.

• Open the 1 inspection with cited deficiencies on AZ Care Check and ask the executive director what changed afterward.
• Ask management to walk you through enforcement action 00170039 and its outcome.
• At 200 licensed beds this is a large community; ask how care staff are assigned across buildings or floors and who covers nights.
• Visit at a mealtime and again in the evening; compare the feel with one or two of the 108 other licensed options within three miles.

What should you ask on a tour of Inspira Arrowhead?

Bring questions that test the license against daily reality: who provides directed care, how many caregivers are on each shift, and what would require your parent to move out.

1. How many of the directed care beds are occupied, and is the memory care area secured?
2. What dementia training do memory care caregivers complete, and how often is it renewed?
3. What is the caregiver-to-resident ratio on the overnight shift?
4. Is there a nurse on site, and during which hours?
5. How quickly are call lights answered, and is response time tracked?
6. Can we see the residency agreement and the full fee schedule before we commit?
7. Will you share the last ADHS inspection report for license ALC20029?
