Deficiencies are counted from each inspection’s Statement of Deficiencies, which lists the rule cited (New Jersey Administrative Code 8:36 for assisted living) and, where the facility has filed one, its plan of correction. One inspection can cover both a routine visit and a complaint. Quoted findings are the surveyor’s opening sentence from the report; “[withheld by NJDOH]” marks a detail the state removes from public reports. Some reports are not online; NJDOH says to request those through OPRA, so counts cover only the reports posted. NJDOH: “In many cases, health care facilities are given the opportunity to correct deficiencies identified through inspection surveys without incurring fines or other penalties. The Department may, however, impose a monetary fine, curtail admissions, issue a conditional license, suspend or revoke a facility's license.” NJDOH: “Information on the status of a state recommendation for enforcement is available through OPRA.” A case listed here is a recommendation for enforcement; the outcome and any fine may not be shown. Facilities may request a formal hearing before the Office of Administrative Law to appeal deficiency findings and enforcement actions. This community is licensed for 19 residents; larger communities 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.
