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.

Based on review of video the center failed to ensure that supervising staff of children shall always ensure their care, protection, and guidance as required.
The inspectors’ words, 113 words
“Evidence: On 2/29/24 staff #1 was seen on video sitting in a chair in the area used by the children (gymnasium) while 4 children were fighting, 2 boys and 2 girls. The video showed that the staff member was positioned to see this fight and did not intervene but continued to stay seated. The fight started at approximately 4:51pm and continued until approximately 4:55pm; according to the time on the video. Staff #1 did not ensure the care, protection, and guidance of these children during this as she did not intervene as required. The fight was not addressed in any manner until staff #2 returned to the gym and intervened at approximately 4:55pm.”
-
Based on review of video the center failed to ensure that children under 10 years of age are always in sight and sound supervision as required.
The inspectors’ words, 164 words
“Evidence: 1. On 2/29/24 staff #1 could not see children who had built a “fort” by using tumble mats that they positioned vertically in a tall standing circle. Staff #1 was seen on video sitting near the wall across the gym from this and could not see into this fort from her position. She did not get up and go over to the fort to check on the children; and did not provide sight supervision to these children. 2. A little while later, after the vertical “fort” was taken down by the children, another mat fort was built beside staff #1, who was still seated in the same place, which prevented her from seeing a small group of children that were to her right in the corner of the gym. Since she remained seated for the majority of the programs operation, she could not provide the required sight supervision of those children. Staff #2 was in and out of the gym during these times.”
Dec 13, 2023: inspection1 deficiency

“Based on observation,each child was not greeted upon arrival at the center. Evidence: 1.

School staff tried to call the main YMCA office to see if staff was on there way.”
