What these words mean6
Inspection (survey)
A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
Deficiency, citation, violation
What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
Type A and Type B citations
California grades each citation by risk. Type A, the most serious, is a violation that poses an immediate risk to residents’ health, safety or personal rights. Type B is one that could become that risk if it isn’t corrected. Source: California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division.
Substantiated complaint
A complaint allegation the state investigated and found true: the evidence showed it more likely than not happened. Inconclusive means the evidence couldn’t show it either way. Neither inconclusive nor unsubstantiated proves it didn’t happen. Source: California Department of Social Services, complaint findings; each state’s licensing agency.
Licence status
Whether the state’s licence lets the place operate now, in the state’s own words: licensed, on probation (allowed to keep operating on conditions, after problems), provisional, pending or expired. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.
Capacity
The most people the licence or certification lets the place care for at once: residents, children, beds or apartments, as the state counts them. It isn’t how many are there now. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.

What the record doesn’t say

  • CDSS’s file lists the rules cited by number, without the inspectors’ findings or the visit each came from; the date shown with a citation is the date its correction was due. CDSS’s own record has the reports.
  • CDSS’s file covers about the last five years of visits.
  • California doesn’t publish staffing levels or quality ratings for these facilities.
  • CDSS’s file lists this facility’s cited rules and correction dates in lists that don’t pair up, so its citations aren’t listed one by one here; CDSS’s own record has them.
