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.

Director Responsibilities - Employees Supervised
The inspectors’ words, 131 words
“Based on the information obtained during the investigation, the minimum standard was determined to be deficient. The operation had implemented procedures requiring caregivers to contact administrative staff prior to taking children outside during periods of extreme heat or when a heat advisory was in effect. However, despite these procedures being in place, a caregiver was able to take a classroom of children outside without obtaining approval from administrative staff. As a result, a child was left unsupervised on the playground for approximately 14 minutes after the remainder of the classroom returned indoors. This incident demonstrated that the operation?s implemented procedures were not effectively monitored or followed to ensure children were protected from potential risks associated with outdoor play during extreme weather conditions and that all children remained accounted for during transitions.”
-
Responsibilities of Employees and Caregivers -Demonstrate Competency, Good Judgment, Self-control
The inspectors’ words, 102 words
“Based on information obtained during the investigation, this minimum standard was found to be in deficient. A caregiver did not demonstrate good judgement when transitioning from outdoor play back to the classroom without completing a headcount or name to face check which caused a child to be left outside on the playground for 14 minutes unattended. Also, staff was aware of the incident and did not immediately report or confirm that administrative staff was aware. Multiple staff members assumed that another staff member reported the incident which delayed parent notification of the incident because administrative staff was not aware until closing time.”
-
Supervision ensures each child?s safety, well-being, including physical proximity and auditory or visual awareness of each child?s on going activity
“Based on information obtained during the investigation, this minimum standard was found to be in deficient. A child was left unattended on the playground for 14 minutes and was located by a caregiver of another class during their transition to outdoor play.”

The inspectors’ words, 91 words
“The director failed to ensure the operation maintained compliance by not acting proactively or efficiently to ensure the child received approved nutritional substitutions identified by the parent on the infant feeding instruction sheet, which listed other foods the child was able to consume in addition to milk. The director also failed to ensure the parent and/or emergency contact were contacted, and in a timely manner. Additionally, communication between the director and staff was not clear and concise, resulting in the child not being provided approved food substitutions and going without eating.”
-
Responsibilities of Employees and Caregivers -Demonstrate Competency, Good Judgment, Self-control
