What these terms mean
Nevada grades each residential facility for groups after a survey: the Bureau adds the severity and scope scores of all deficiencies found. 0 to 15 points is an A; 16 to 24 a B; 25 to 34 a C; 35 or more a D. A single very serious deficiency can also set a lower grade (NAC 449.27702). The facility must post its grade where the public can see it.
Severity levels (NAC 449.99861): level 1 concerns administrative requirements and no harm is likely; level 2 is a potential for harm not yet realized; level 3 means a negative impact has occurred or is likely; level 4 has resulted in, or is likely to result in, death or serious harm.
Scope levels (NAC 449.9986): level 1 is isolated (20 percent or less of residents sampled); level 2 is a pattern (more than 20 and up to 50 percent); level 3 is widespread (more than 50 percent).
HCQC investigates each complaint and finds each allegation substantiated (resulting in a citation) or unsubstantiated (no citation). Some reports say an allegation was substantiated with no deficient practice cited.
When deficiencies are cited, the facility must return an approved plan of correction within 10 days. The completion date is the date the facility gave for the correction.
Deficiency names and findings are quoted from the state’s Statements of Deficiencies. Fine amounts are read from the state’s scanned sanction notices. This community is licensed for 56 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
