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.

8VAC20-780-280-B
“Hazardous substances such as cleaning materials shall be kept in a locked place using a safe locking method that prevents access by children. Clorox wipes and Amazon toilet cleaner were left on top of the over the toilet storage cabinet, in the two-year-old classroom, out of reach of the children.”
May 20, 2026: inspection1 deficiency
-
When staff are supervising children, they shall always ensure their care, protection, and guidance.
“On April 27, 2026, staff were maneuvering a four-seater stroller containing four infants ranging in age from 9 weeks to 12 months back into the center. The porch was too small for the center doors to swing open while the stroller was on the deck and as the stroller wheels were not locked, the stroller rolled forward and tumbled down four stairs with the infants strapped inside. All four infants had skin abrasions and were taken to their doctor’s office to be evaluated.”

- Virginia publishes a complaint’s allegations and findings only when its inspection found a violation and the records are linked.
- Virginia doesn’t publish staffing levels or owners for individual providers.
- A plan of correction sent late, or not at all, isn’t online: Virginia says to ask the inspector.
- Virginia’s pages show about the last five years of inspections; for older ones, Virginia says to contact the licensing inspector.
- Virginia says this information may not be accurate, up to date or complete, and shouldn’t be the only source in choosing care.
