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, 108 words
“The center shall implement procedures for appropriate supervision of all children in care. The center’s policy for supervision and discipline states that they ?use positive re-enforcement as well as re-direction. As a last resort time out is used, one minute per age of the child?. Numerous staff reported that inappropriate supervision practices were implemented in the two’s classroom that were not a part of the center’s established procedures of positive reinforcement and re-direction, as demonstrated by children being placed in time out for longer than one minute per age, elevated voice tones towards children and showing children a ?monster face? drawing when they were not following classroom rules.”
