Enforcement letters
- January 26, 2026: Imposition of civil fines, $1,800 in civil fines, after a follow-up visit on January 14, 2026
Intermittent nursing services systems: The licensee failed to ensure two staff members were delegated by a Registered Nurse (RN) to administer oral medications, topical medication (skin), eye drops, and perform blood sugar checks by piercing a resident’s skin with a lancet (needle). This failure placed four residents at risk of medical complications from receiving medications and/or blood sugar checks incorrectly by staff not delegated by an RN, as required.

What is orientation training, who should complete it, and when should it be completed?: The licensee failed to ensure two staff members met all the training requirements for long-term care workers. This failure placed all 54 residents at risk of harm and receiving care from untrained staff. - October 21, 2025: Imposition of civil fine, $600 in civil fines
Medication services: The licensee failed to implement medication services for three residents that were safe and supported the needs of each resident. This failure resulted in two residents receiving medications against physicians’ orders and the other resident receiving medications without any physician's orders. - November 29, 2023: Imposition of a civil fine, $400 in civil fines, after a follow-up visit on November 17, 2023

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
