What these terms mean
A violation is a standard that the inspector found the facility did not meet. VDSS: “The licensee has the opportunity to submit a plan of correction to indicate how the cited violation(s) will be addressed in order to return the facility to compliance.” Plans of correction are written by the facility.
For a complaint inspection, VDSS states whether “the evidence gathered during the investigation” supported the allegations. Violations found during a complaint visit that are not related to the complaint are listed on the same notice. VDSS also investigates incidents that a facility reports about itself; those are listed separately and are not counted as complaints.
Virginia sets the length of a license by the facility's record (22VAC40-80-100): “A three-year license may be issued when a facility's activities, services, and management routinely substantially exceed the minimum standards. A two-year license may be issued when a facility's services and management routinely meet and maintain compliance with minimum standards ... An annual license may be issued when a facility's activities, services, and management indicate an inconsistent level of compliance but substantial compliance is reached.”
A provisional license (22VAC40-80-110) may be issued “when a regular license expires and the applicant is temporarily unable to comply with the requirements of the regulations,” for up to 12 months. A conditional license (22VAC40-80-80) is for a new facility to “demonstrate compliance with specified standards.”
Each violation is labeled with the title of the rule it falls under in the Standards for Licensed Assisted Living Facilities (22VAC40-73).

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
