Vermont posts each survey statement (the deficiencies found and the plan of correction the state accepted) as a PDF. An investigation survey looks into a complaint or an incident the facility reported. Each deficiency on a Vermont statement carries a scope and severity letter (SS=) from A to L. Later letters mean more harm or more residents affected; D, E and F mean no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm. Rule names are the headings printed on the statement; read the statement for what was found. Counts cover statements we could match to this community by name and address.

Emergency and natural hazard riskFEMA overall risk relatively low; outside FEMA's high-risk flood areas
Public hazard maps for this location. Ask the community about its emergency plan, its generator and where residents would go in an evacuation.
- Flood zone
- FEMA has a flood map for this community (effective January 2, 1981), but it is not in FEMA's digital flood map data, so the zone at this address could not be read. FEMA's Map Service Center has the map. (FEMA flood map)
- FEMA National Risk Index
- Overall: relatively low. By hazard: hurricane relatively low, inland flooding relatively high, wildfire very low, tornado very low, heat wave very low, earthquake relatively low. These are FEMA’s ratings for the census tract, compared with tracts nationwide. (FEMA, December 2025)
A flood zone describes the map at this point, not the building's elevation. In an emergency, follow the local emergency management agency.

What type of care does Brownway Residence provide?
Brownway Residence is licensed by the state of Vermont for independent living, assisted living in Enosburg Falls, Vermont.
Does Lilisity rate Brownway Residence?
No. We publish state licensing details for Brownway Residence but no score, rating, or ranking. Only communities on the Top Communities list or with a Senior Living Alliance Excellence Award, both based on phone-verified resident and family interviews, are ranked.
How much is rent at Brownway Residence?
Rent at income-restricted senior apartments is set by income, usually about 30% of household income for HUD and USDA rental assistance units, or a fixed below-market rent for tax-credit units. Ask the property manager about current rent, income limits and the wait list.
How do I apply to Brownway Residence?
Apply through the property manager. Buildings like this have age limits (usually 62 and over, sometimes 55 and over) and income limits, and there is often a wait list. The property manager may not be on site.
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
