What these words mean5
- 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.
- Texas’s risk levels
- Texas gives each child care deficiency a risk level, by how likely it is to harm a child: Low, Medium Low, Medium, Medium High or High. High is its most serious. Source: Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Child Care Regulation.
- 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.

The inspectors’ words, 189 words
“The operation’s operational policies address communication between parents and the school which includes parental notifications, methods of communication, classrooms being equipped with a phone for efficient communication between staff and management, open communication between parents and the school being integral to Kids R Kids, contacting teachers, contacting management, and emergencies. Health checks and illness and injury are also addressed in the operational policies. It is important staff and management are following their operational policies as well as minimum standards regarding communicating with parents when applicable. Information gathered in the investigation substantiated there was a lapse of communication regarding an incident where a pre-k aged child had an accident and was changed into clean underwear but no bottoms as it was believed the child did not have extra clothes. The child was present at the operation for two to three hours with their underwear being visible with no dress or shorts/pants to cover the underwear. While a caregiver initially reached out to management there was no follow up from the caregiver or management in regard to the situation with each other or with the parent. The parent was not notified.”
