What the report types mean: a licensure survey is the routine state inspection; a complaint survey investigates a complaint; health surveys cover care and services, and life safety code surveys cover fire and building safety. A revisit is a follow-up visit to check that cited problems were corrected. Reports are on the state's statement of deficiencies form, with the facility's plan of correction where one was required. A licensure survey with complaint is counted as a complaint survey. Wyoming posts each report as a scanned document and does not publish deficiency counts, so Lilisity lists the reports and links each one. Open a report to read what the state found. This community is licensed for 15 residents. Source: Wyoming Department of Health, Healthcare Licensing and Surveys, data as of October 15, 2026, showing every report HLS has posted (2018 onward). Always visit in person and ask the community about anything listed here.

Paying with Medicaid and other programsHow Medicaid pays for care in Wyoming, and other programs
How Medicaid pays for care in Wyoming
- Community Choices Waiver (CCW). Wyoming Medicaid's Community Choices Waiver covers assisted living facility services as an alternative to nursing home care. It serves people 65 and older and adults 19 to 64 with a disability. They must qualify financially for Medicaid (or the waiver's special group) and be found by the state to need nursing-facility level of care. (state page)
Ask the community whether it accepts Medicaid.

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
