ADHS writes a Statement of Deficiencies after each inspection that finds a rule was not met. The community then files a plan of correction, which ADHS accepts or rejects. ADHS investigates complaints on site. A complaint inspection that ends with “No deficiencies were found” did not find a rule violation; deficiencies cited on a complaint inspection are listed with that inspection. AZ Care Check does not list complaints that did not lead to an on-site inspection. Enforcement cases are actions ADHS takes after an inspection, such as a civil money penalty, a provisional license or a license revocation, with their status. This community is licensed for 5 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
