What these words mean4
- 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.
- 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.

Based on observation of video footage, interviews with staff and review of recordkeeping, facility did not ensure children under ten years of age are always within actual sight and sound supervision of staff.
The inspectors’ words, 142 words
“Evidence: On October 26, 2023, between approximately 4:35 pm ? 4:45 pm, two staff were present with eight children (toddler and early preschool age). The group was transitioning from the rear playground to the front playground when they entered the building to walk up the hallway. Staff #1 was near the front of the line of children and staff #2 was at the rear of the line of children. Staff #2 stepped into a classroom immediately off the hallway to retrieve a child that ran into that room. While staff #2 was in that space, child #1 (twenty-one months old) walked into a separate adjoining classroom. Staff #1 and staff #2 continued with seven children to the front playground. Child #1 was found by parent alone in the hallway. Child #2 was without sight and sound supervision by staff for two minutes.”

- Virginia publishes a complaint’s allegations and findings only when its inspection found a violation and the records are linked.
- Virginia doesn’t publish staffing levels or owners for individual providers.
- A plan of correction sent late, or not at all, isn’t online: Virginia says to ask the inspector.
- Virginia’s pages show about the last five years of inspections; for older ones, Virginia says to contact the licensing inspector.
- Virginia says this information may not be accurate, up to date or complete, and shouldn’t be the only source in choosing care.
