How these testimonials were collected and how we’re paid
- We interview residents and family members by phone, voice to voice — never web forms, never scraped from other sites.
- Every testimonial is named and dated, and verified against the community’s current resident or family list before publishing.
- Testimonials are published as given, including critical ones. Of the 20 on this page, 13 are five-star and 7 are four-star. None were removed.
How Lilisity is paid: 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. CMS ratings come from the federal government, and testimonials come from residents.
