RIDOH inspects licensed assisted living residences without notice and investigates complaints. After a visit it sends the residence a statement of deficiencies listing any rule it found was not met; the residence answers with a plan of correction. RIDOH posts both, named with the date the inspectors left (the exit date). A statement of deficiencies can list one finding or many; open each report to read what was found. Dates come from the file names RIDOH uses. Source: Rhode Island Department of Health, Center for Health Facilities Regulation, Find Assisted Living, checked October 15, 2026.

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
