ODHS lists only substantiated violations: “either a substantiated instance of abuse or a licensing violation. Open investigations and complaints that are being appealed by the provider are not listed.” Oregon counts neglect as a form of abuse; see the state’s definitions of abuse. Each violation shows the level ODHS gives it, in the state’s words (for example “2 - Minor harm or potential for moderate harm”), and any fine ODHS assessed. Inspection citations show the state’s severity level and scope, and the date ODHS recorded the problem as corrected when it lists one. Rule names come from the Oregon Administrative Rules. ODHS: “Formal regulatory actions can range from a condition placed upon a license due to non-compliance or a notice to revoke a license.” This community is licensed for 36 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.

Report a wrong fact

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
