The short answer
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.

The inspectors’ words, 172 words
“Kitchen: Visible food debris, crumbs and trash were observed on the counters, under appliances and on the floor. The backsplash had areas of smeared, dried and hardened insect repellant. Deck: The deck in the backyard had multiple deck floor boards that were buckled, not secured to the deck frame and were protruding upward. The deck railing and handrail at the steps were splintering, loose and easily moved by hand when the inspectors touched them. A non-working mid-size refrigerator was on the deck and not secured in a manner that prevented access by children. Backyard area: In the grass area surrounding the deck were many wood boards with nails protruding while additional boards and large wood panels were learning against the house adjacent to the deck, as was a double kitchen sink. A large section of the backyard fence (6’ wooden fence) was missing and allowing direct access to a neighboring yard. A rolled up rug was under a bush in the backyard and 3 lawnmowers were accessible to children in the yard.”
-
Electrical outlets shall have protective covers that are of a size that cannot be swallowed by children.
“Electrical outlets in the children’s play area, children’s bathroom and hallway leading to the children’s bathroom, did not have protective covers.”
-
Sharp kitchen utensils and other sharp objects shall be inaccessible to children unless being used by the caregiver or with children under close supervision.
“A pair of scissors and an open pack of disposable razors was found in an unlocked lower level drawer in the children’s bathroom.”
-
Potentially poisonous substances, materials, and supplies, such as, but not limited to cleaning agents and disinfectants shall be stored in areas inaccessible to children.
“A can of disinfectant aerosol spray and a spray bottle of cleaning solution were in an unlocked lower level cabinet in the children’s bathroom. Several cans of house paint and a can of floor finish solution were being stored on the floor inside of the unlocked hallway closet adjacent to the main daycare area and accessible to children.”
-
Each bathroom area provided for children shall be equipped with soap, toilet paper, and disposable towels or an air dryer within reach of the children.
“There were no disposable towels in the children’s bathroom.”
-
A first aid kit should contain the required items.
“There was no medical tape and gauze.”

The home shall have non-medical emergency supplies:
“There was not a working battery-operated radio in the home.”
-
The provider shall have a written emergency preparedness plan that addresses caregiver responsibility and home readiness with respect to emergency evacuation, relocation, lockdown, and shelter-in-place procedures.
“The provider’s emergency preparedness plan did not accurately document all required components of the plan, including listing the shelter-in-place location as a local church. Discussion with the provider revealed that the provider did not have an accurate understanding of shelter-in-place and lockdown.”

What the record doesn’t say
- Virginia doesn’t grade how serious a violation is, so no severity is shown.
- 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.
