Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.
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.

Jan 9, 2024: inspection1 deficiency
-
Based on interviews, the provider failed to ensure that actions towards children that are forbidden by the standards (physical punishment including but not limited to striking a child, roughly handling or shaking a child, etc.) are not used.
The inspectors’ words, 120 words
“Evidence: Caregiver 1 stated that at approximately 12:15 pm on 12/21/2023 she heard Child 1 (age 2 years) begin to cry while in the bathroom with Caregiver 2. Caregiver 1 stated that she went into the bathroom to check on Child 1 and noticed that the child’s face was a little red. Caregiver 1 asked Child 1 if something was hurting, and Child 1 proceeded to point to their face. When asked what happened to Child 1?s face, Caregiver 2 stated that she put her hands on Child 1?s face (one on each side) to turn the child’s face to look at her. The rough handling of Child 1 by Staff 2 resulted in red marks on the child’s face.”

- 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.

- 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.
