What these terms mean
The Health Facilities Commission's facility search shows each licensed facility's status, the date of its last survey, and any disciplinary actions, with the order for each action. Tennessee does not post the survey findings themselves online.
Disciplinary actions are orders of the Board for Licensing Health Care Facilities or the Commission's executive director, such as civil monetary penalties (fines), probation, suspension of admissions, or license revocation. The Commission lists them in its monthly Facility Action and Abuse Report.
Survey findings are not posted online in Tennessee; you can ask the facility for its most recent survey report. This facility is licensed for 38 beds.

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
