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.

Mar 24, 2022: inspection2 deficiencies

Based on a review of staff files and interviews with staff, the center failed to ensure that staff hired did not have a disqualifying background.
The inspectors’ words, 132 words
“Evidence: 1. Staff #1 was hired 11-29-2021 as a center aide in a classroom with preschool children. On March 23, 2022, the center received a letter from the Office of Background Investigations (OBI) that staff #1 had a founded disposition of child abuse or neglect within the Commonwealth. Staff #1 had been working regularly at the center in a classroom with children since 11-29-2021. 2. Staff #2 reported that the central registry check was sent 11-10-2021. Staff #2 stated that no one followed up on the lack of results of the central registry check when it was not received from OBI within 30 days after sending it. 3. A founded disposition of child abuse or neglect is a disqualifying result for a background check to work at a licensed child day center.”

Based on a review of staff records, the center failed to ensure that a Sworn Statement was satisfactorily completed.
The inspectors’ words, 103 words
“Evidence:. 1. The Sworn Statement viewed for staff #1 was not complete. The first question on the form related to disclosing any criminal convictions inside the Commonwealth was left blank with no explanation. This is a required field to answer to constitute a complete Sworn Statement. 2.The Sworn Statement for staff #1 was not completed accurately. Staff #1 answered “NO” on question number three on the Sworn Statement form asking “Have you ever been the subject of a founded complaint of child abuse or neglect within the Commonwealth of Virginia?” Based on the results of the central registry, this answer was not accurate.”
