ADPH posts each survey’s Statement of Deficiencies as a PDF (older ones are scans, which we read by OCR). From each report we show the deficiency tags, the rules they cite, ADPH’s own one-sentence finding and the complaint outcomes ADPH states; each cited rule is named in the rule’s own words (Alabama Administrative Code, chapter 420-5-4 for assisted living and 420-5-20 for specialty care assisted living). The report, and the facility’s plan of correction when ADPH posts it, are the official record. Some reports list a complaint as substantiated with no deficiency cited; we show both as ADPH wrote them. This community is licensed for 32 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.

How Lilisity works. The only scores or rankings Lilisity publishes are the Top Communities list and the Excellence Awards, both built from phone-verified resident and family interviews. Communities can pay Lilisity a flat monthly fee to manage their own listing: photos, prices, contact details, and receiving the inquiries families choose to send them. The fee is the same no matter how many families contact them or move in. Senior Living Alliance, which runs Lilisity, offers the same listing to its member communities as part of their membership; members pay SLA for its resident and family interview program. No community pays Lilisity per inquiry, per referral or per move-in. Payment never changes a testimonial, a rating, or the order of search results. The "Nearby Senior Living Alliance communities" box shows member communities only. How we verify testimonials · How we are paid
