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 inspectors’ words, 94 words
“Based on a tour of the playground, the facility failed to ensure that all areas and equipment are maintained in a safe condition. Evidence: 1. On both climbers at the top of the slides, there have been pieces of composite decking boards (approximately 4inches by 8 inches) installed to close a head entrapment point. The gaps between the slide and the panels and between the pole and the panels present an entanglement point. 2. The bolts used to install these panels have more than 2 threads of the bolt showing presenting an entanglement point.”

8VAC20-780-270-A
“Based on a review of the playground, the facility failed to ensure that all equipment is maintained in a safe condition. Evidence: 1. On the small and large climbers, the rubber covering on the steps is worn and cracked. This presents sharp edges. 2. On the small climber, on the right side of the slide has a 1/4 -1/2 inch gap between the slide and the wooden board. This presents an entanglement hazard.”
