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.

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
