What these terms mean
Florida law (section 408.813, Florida Statutes) sorts violations into four classes, plus unclassified violations:
Class I: “Those conditions or occurrences related to the operation and maintenance of a provider or to the care of clients which the agency determines present an imminent danger to the clients of the provider or a substantial probability that death or serious physical or emotional harm would result therefrom.”
Class II: “Those conditions or occurrences related to the operation and maintenance of a provider or to the care of clients which the agency determines directly threaten the physical or emotional health, safety, or security of the clients, other than class I violations.”
Class III: “Those conditions or occurrences related to the operation and maintenance of a provider or to the care of clients which the agency determines indirectly or potentially threaten the physical or emotional health, safety, or security of clients, other than class I or class II violations.”
Class IV: “Those conditions or occurrences related to the operation and maintenance of a provider or to required reports, forms, or documents that do not have the potential of negatively affecting clients. These violations are of a type that the agency determines do not threaten the health, safety, or security of clients.”
Unclassified: A violation “that is not designated as a class I, class II, class III, or class IV violation.” Examples in the law: “Exceeding licensed capacity” and “Providing services beyond the scope of the license.”
Moratorium: “The licensee is prohibited from admitting new patients or residents due to an emergency action issued by the Agency.”
Suspension: “The license is temporarily suspended due to an emergency action issued by the Agency.”
Conditional license: “issued to a facility when one or more class I, II or III deficiencies are not corrected within Agency established timeframes.”
AHCA: “Before penalties for a deficiency are imposed, a licensee has the opportunity to contest Agency findings.”
AHCA: “The legal actions displayed are issued for the licensee of the facility/provider at the time the case was initiated.” They may have been issued to a prior owner. “Final Orders made available through this web page may not always reflect the final disposition of a matter since they may have been appealed.”

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
