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.

-
The center shall implement procedures for supervision of all children in care.
“There were 8 children in the toddler room with one staff during rest time. The classroom was dark and the Licensing Inspector was not able to visually count the children resting in the classroom. The level of darkness in the room prevents staff from adequately supervising the children in the classroom.”
-
The program shall require information from the person enrolling the child regarding previous child day care and schools attended by the child.
“Six of the children’s records reviewed did not have documentation of obtaining information regarding if the children had previously attended any schools or child day care programs.”

The program is required to have employees undergo a background check every five years.
