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.

Based on staff interview and review of the center’s own video recording, the center did not ensure that children under 10 years of age were always within sight and sound supervision of staff.
The inspectors’ words, 113 words
“Evidence: On October 11, 2023 Child #1 (Age 4) was left on the back playground after the Pre-K classroom went inside after their morning outside play time. Staff #1 and Staff #2 took the other children in the Pre-K classroom back into the center at approximately 11:04am while Child #1 was hiding in the play equipment. Staff #3 discovered the child alone on the playground while doing a walk-through at approximately 11:05:53am. Staff #3 returned Child #1 to the Pre-K classroom and Staff #1 and Staff #2 were unaware the child did not come in with the group. Child #1 was out of sight and sound supervision for approximately 1 minute 53 seconds.”

Based on staff interviews and review of the center’s own policies and procedures, the center did not ensure that activities and services were maintained in compliance with the licensing standards and the center’s own policies and procedures that are required by the licensing standards.
The inspectors’ words, 180 words
“Evidence: 1. The center’s policies and procedures require name to face accountability for identifying where children are at all times. The policy states ?Name to face accountability is when you look at your roll call sheet and confirm by actually putting your eyes on each individual child marked present on the roll call sheet.? Further, the policy states ?Name to face takes place as each threshold is crossed? and ?All areas should be checked prior to transitioning?. 2. On October 11, 2023, at approximately 11:04am, Staff #1 and Staff #2 did not follow policies and procedures to account for children at all times when they transitioned the Pre-K class from the back playground back inside the center. 3. Staff #1 and Staff #2 advised there are three thresholds to and from the back playground. Staff #1 stated ?There was a miscommunication on who did the name to face. It was a huge mistake and it did not get done?. Staff #2 stated ?Name to face was not done at any of the thresholds that day. It was not done right?.”
