Read each citation, its regulation and the plan of correction on the state’s site →
CDPHE: the Find and Compare tool shows “the results of any inspection conducted within the previous 3 years” and “inspection results will include any citations identified during those inspections, the regulation text outlining the requirements or practice(s) to be met, as well as the plan of correction submitted by the provider indicating how the citation was remedied.” Occurrences are events the residence reported to CDPHE itself, as state rules require; CDPHE: “An occurrence can be a number of different events that are self-reported by healthcare providers.” A report is not a finding that the residence did something wrong. A revisit is a follow-up visit to check that earlier citations were corrected; CHOW means a change of ownership. CDPHE often combines a routine inspection and a complaint investigation in one visit, so such a visit counts as both. The rule area shown with each citation is our plain reading of CDPHE’s own abbreviated title. This residence is licensed for 19 residents; larger residences are visited and report events 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
