OHCA posts a statement of deficiencies for each state licensing inspection, as Hawaii law requires (HRS 321-1.8): the date, any violations of state rules, and the home's plan of correction. Some homes are licensed for two years, so a year can be marked “Not Required.” Each deficiency names the rule it falls under; we list the rule's title from the state's rule text (HAR chapter 11-100.1 for adult residential care homes, chapter 11-90 for assisted living). The reports are scanned images, so we read the rule numbers by machine; open the report for the state's exact findings and the home's corrections. This community is licensed for 123 residents; larger communities can have more to inspect, 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
