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.

8VAC20-800-240-A
The inspectors’ words, 99 words
“Based on observation and interview, it was determined that the provider did not ensure that areas and furnishings of the family day home, inside and outside, shall be maintained in a safe and operable condition. Evidence: 1. In the playground area, there is a broken clothesline with several long strings hanging in reach of children. This poses as a strangulation hazard to the children in care. 2. In the indoor play area, the children’s cots are stacked with no secure fasten to hold them in place. This poses as both a tipping and injury to the children in care.”
-
8VAC20-800-570-A
“Based on observation and interview, it was determined that the provider did not ensure that a caregiver does not exceed 16 points or an additional caregiver is needed. Evidence: 1.

There was one caregiver for approximately 6 minutes as the additional caregiver was out at an appointment. 2. The provider confirmed that for approximately 6 minutes, the home was over three points.”
