What these terms mean
Licensure survey citations: These citations are a result of Ohio Department of Health annual licensure survey findings. Inspections, “surveys,” are conducted by the Ohio Department of Health every 9-15 months.
Complaint survey citations: These citations are a result of Ohio Department of Health complaint survey findings. Complaint surveys are investigations completed by surveyors when complaints are received by the Ohio Department of Health's complaint unit. The toll-free number for registering complaints is 1-800-342-0553.
Ohio rule 3701-16-04: ODH inspects each residential care facility at least once before it is licensed, then at least once every fifteen months, and at least one unannounced inspection is done every fifteen months.
Ohio publishes these as two counts per community; it does not say here which years they cover. The state’s detailed survey page lists each inspection and citation. The Navigator lists no license numbers; this record was matched to the community by name and address. This community is licensed for 99 residents; larger communities are inspected and cited 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
