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.

Requirements during evaluation or probation
The inspectors’ words, 127 words
“The condition regarding personnel records: For employees and household-members, prior to the start of the corrective action probation the provider must check the personnel records and document it on the Personnel Record Evaluation checklist provided by Child Care Regulation or a form that contains the same information. This must be completed within 14 days of the start of the corrective action probation start date was not completed. There are no new house hold members or employees and therefore, this was not completed within 14 days of the corrective action starting for the three house-hold members that are over 14 years of age. **The operation corrected this at inspection when she reviewed the files for the three house hold members and completed the checklist. This is in compliance.”
