What these terms mean
DHSS: the results page shows “the requirements the facility failed to meet, the corrected date, level of harm, and residents affected.” Facilities must keep the full statements of deficiencies and plans of correction on site for anyone to read.
Missouri law (RSMo 198.085) sorts every standard into three classes: “Class I standards are standards the violation of which would present either an imminent danger to the health, safety or welfare of any resident or a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm would result; Class II standards are standards which have a direct or immediate relationship to the health, safety or welfare of any resident, but which do not create imminent danger; Class III standards are standards which have an indirect or a potential impact on the health, safety or welfare of any resident.” The class shown is the one the rule carries; some rules carry two (for example II/III).

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
