What these terms mean
OHFLAC: a statement of deficiency is “a written summary of noncompliance with regulations found during a health provider survey or complaint investigation.”
A correction date is the “date officials have verified the health provider has corrected areas of noncompliance found during a health provider survey or complaint investigation.”
The State 2567 is OHFLAC’s “statement of deficiencies and plan of correction based on state rules.”
The West Virginia assisted living rule (64CSR14) marks some requirements Class I, II or III. Where OHFLAC’s rule text for a deficiency carries a class, it is shown here as written. State law sets the highest civil penalty range for Class I ($50 to $500 per violation) and the lowest for Class III ($10 to $25) (W. Va. Code §16B-5-10). OHFLAC does not publish whether a penalty was imposed.
OHFLAC shows the deficiencies from surveys in the last three years (since October 15, 2023); older surveys are listed on OHFLAC’s survey history page. Each complaint investigation states whether OHFLAC found the complaint substantiated or unsubstantiated; a deficiency can be cited either way, for example “the complaint was unsubstantiated, and an unrelated deficiency was cited.” This community is licensed for 19 residents; larger communities are surveyed and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.

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
