What these terms mean
The DHSR star rating is the state's rating, not ours. DHSR: each facility “begins with a base score of 100 points. Based on the facility's compliance or non-compliance with rule areas during inspections, the facility earns merit or demerit points which are added or subtracted from the 100 base points.” Scale: 4 stars = 100 or more points on two consecutive annual surveys; 3 stars = 90.0 to 99.9 points (or 100 or more on one annual inspection); 2 stars = 80.0 to 89.9; 1 star = 70.0 to 79.9; 0 stars = 69.9 or lower.
DHSR: “months will typically pass between inspections and much could change for the better or worse in a facility between inspections. Therefore, it is advised that consumers visit the facility themselves before making such an important decision.”
Type A1 violation: “a violation by a facility of applicable laws and regulations governing a facility which results in death or serious physical harm, abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a resident.”
Type A2 violation: “a violation by a facility of applicable laws and regulations governing the licensure of a facility which results in substantial risk that death or serious physical harm, abuse, neglect, or exploitation will occur.”
Type B violation: “a violation by a facility of applicable laws and regulations governing a facility which is detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of any resident, but which does not result in substantial risk that death or serious physical harm, abuse, neglect, or exploitation will occur.” There is no fine for a Type B violation; an “Unabated B” is one not corrected within 45 days, which can be fined up to $400 a day.
A deficiency cited without a violation type is a rule not met that DHSR did not classify as a Type A or Type B violation.
IDR pending means the facility asked for Informal Dispute Resolution, “a process that gives a facility the opportunity to dispute all or some of the findings of a state inspection.”
DHSR posts Statements of Deficiencies for inspections since November 1, 2014 where deficiencies were found; inspections with no deficiencies are listed as “No Deficiencies Cited” without a report. Violation counts cover inspections since October 15, 2023 and are read from DHSR’s reports; penalties cover the last 36 months. This home is licensed for 66 residents; larger homes are inspected and reported on more often, 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
