What these terms mean
DHS inspects each personal care home and assisted living residence every year and investigates complaints and unusual incidents. Each inspection report lists the type of inspection, why it happened (for example renewal, complaint or incident), and each violation of the state rules (55 Pa. Code Chapter 2600 for personal care homes, 55 Pa. Code Chapter 2800 for assisted living residences) with the home’s plan of correction. A complaint inspection with no violations means DHS cited nothing at that visit. Violation titles are DHS’s own short names for each rule. A provisional license is issued when a home is in substantial but not complete compliance with the rules; a home can hold up to four in a row, six months each. When DHS gives notice of a fine, the fine is charged per resident per day only if the violation is not corrected by the deadline. Violation classes: Class I means a substantial probability of death or serious harm, Class II a substantial adverse effect on health, safety or well-being, Class III a minimal effect.
DHS posts a Licensing Inspection Summary for each inspection. Its directory notes that some results may not appear while its systems are being upgraded; if one is missing, contact the department. This community is licensed for 153 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
