A finding marked repeat is one AGE also cited at an earlier review. AGE does not rate findings by severity in these reports; the action taken is AGE's overall response.
AGE posts these reports on each residence’s mass.gov page and keeps no public index, so older reports may not be listed. Massachusetts posts no complaint results for assisted living. This residence is certified for 85 units; larger residences have more records to review, 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
