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 three staff records, the center did not obtain results of the national fingerprint base criminal history background check prior to employment for one staff member.
“Evidence: The record of staff #2, employed 11/01/2022, had an approved portability fingerprint check dated 11/09/2022, exceeding the employment date.”
-
Based on a review of three staff records, the center did not obtain the results of a criminal history record information check, the results of a sex offender registry check, and a search of the child abuse and neglect registry or equivalent registry from any state in which one staff member had resided in the preceding five years within the required time frame.
The inspectors’ words, 148 words
“Evidence: The record for Staff #2, hired on 11/01/2022, indicated the staff had resided in two states outside of Virginia within the last five years. For the State of California, the record did not contain a criminal history record information check, a sex offender registry check, or a search of the child abuse and neglect registry. For the state of Maryland, the record did not contain a sex offender registry check or a search of the child abuse and neglect registry. An out-of-state criminal background check was not required because the states participate in the National Fingerprint File (NFF) program through the FBI. The out-of-state criminal history record information check and the sex offender registry check are required to be obtained prior to hire. The out-of-state search for founded complaints of child abuse or neglect is required to be requested within the first 30 days of being hired.”

The inspectors’ words, 155 words
“Evidence: 1. The designated outdoor play area has a metal downspout next to the door. The metal is bent at the bottom and has a piece that is broken off creating a jagged edge that could snag the skin of a child. The metal downspout is also rusted along the bottom. 2. A shed structure within the designated play area had a piece of wooden trim that has pulled away from the wall exposing multiple nails. 3. A wooden privacy fence designed to separate the play area from the heating and a/c units has a section that has fallen down creating an opening to the a/c units and the multiple wires exposed on the a/c units. The fence has several broken pickets. A plastic safety fence was installed however the plastic fencing is laying on the wooden fence and droops down to the ground. The plastic fencing does not provide a barrier from the hazards.”
