- September 26, 2025: Imposition of civil fine, $400 in civil fines, after a follow-up visit on September 18, 2025
What are the training and certification requirements for volunteers and long-term care workers in assisted living facilities and assisted living facility administrators?: The licensee failed to ensure that one staff member had the required training and certification to work in an assisted living facility (ALF) when this staff member had been caring for residents outside of the 200-day requirement per regulation. This failure placed all residents at risk for harm due to untrained and unqualified staff. - October 24, 2023: Imposition of civil fines, $800 in civil fines, after a follow-up visit on October 17, 2023
Intermittent nursing services systems: The licensee failed to ensure a registered nurse (RN) had delegated, supervised, and evaluated at least weekly for the first 4 weeks, nursing tasks to five Medication Aides/Technicians who administered insulin injections to two residents. This failure placed both residents at risk for harm due to untrained and unsupervised care staff.
Background checks: National fingerprint background check: The licensee failed to complete and/or document a national fingerprint background check for two staff. This failure placed all residents at risk by possibly employing staff with a disqualifying criminal conviction(s) or pending charge(s) for a disqualifying crime(s).
Medication refusal: The licensee failed to evaluate or take action when one resident repeatedly refused prescribed medications. This failure placed the resident at risk of harm from adverse reaction due to medications not being given as prescribed.

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
