New Mexico’s License Oversight Bureau posts each survey’s Statement of Deficiencies as a scanned PDF. We read the scans by OCR and show, for each report, the survey date, the kind of survey in the state’s words, each deficiency tag with the rule it cites and the state’s own one-sentence finding when OCR reads it whole. Each rule is named by its heading in New Mexico’s assisted living rules: 7.8.2 NMAC until June 30, 2024, and 8.370.14 NMAC (same section numbers) since July 1, 2024. The rules say: “If violations of this rule are cited, the facility will be provided with an official statement of deficiencies within 10 business days following the survey.” The facility’s plan of correction is printed in the right-hand column of the same report. The reports give no severity level for assisted living deficiencies, and the state’s site lists no fines or license actions. Revisit reports often repeat the complaint outcomes of the survey they follow up on; we count each complaint once. The state’s site (alf.hca.nm.gov) has not answered since at least September 2026, so we read the listing and reports from the Internet Archive’s copies, captured between January 16, 2026 and June 12, 2026. Reports the state posted after that are not shown. This community is licensed for 14 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. The "Nearby Senior Living Alliance communities" box shows member communities only. How we verify testimonials · How we are paid
