DPH’s monthly enforcement reports list no order against this community, under its current name, in the last five years.
DPH does not post routine inspection reports for assisted living (community residential care) online. This page lists only the enforcement orders DPH publishes each month: administrative orders, consent orders, suspensions and revocations, with the violations DPH cited. Most inspections do not lead to an order, so a community with no order here can still have had citations. You can ask DPH for a community's inspection reports, and you can ask the community to show you its most recent one. This community is licensed for 91 residents. Orders are matched to communities by name, because DPH’s reports do not give license numbers.

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
