DC Health surveys each assisted living residence for its license and investigates complaints, often during the same visit. Each report is a statement of deficiencies: every deficiency names the part of the Assisted Living Residence Regulatory Act (D.C. Code 44-101.01 and following) or of the assisted living regulations (22-B DCMR chapter 101) that was not met. The residence answers with a plan of correction, posted with the report once DC Health has it ("PoC pending" in a file name means it was not in yet). These reports give no severity level for each deficiency. Rule names are the headings printed on the report; quoted statements are DC Health’s own words; read the report for the details. This residence is licensed for 45 residents; larger residences have more records reviewed, 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
