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 observation, the center failed to ensure that hazardous substances, such as cleaning materials, were kept in a locked place using a safe locking method that prevents access by children.
“Evidence: Licensing staff observed Great Value Disinfecting Wipes on the counter by the window next to the tables in the kitchen where meals are served to children. No children were observed in the area but it was accessible to children.”
May 3, 2023: inspection1 deficiency
-
Based on observation and discussion with staff, the center failed to ensure each building that was built before 2015 and that houses a child day program that is licensed that serves preschool-age children shall be equipped with at least one carbon monoxide detector.
“Evidence: Licensing staff did not observe a carbon monoxide detector during the inspection. The program director stated that ?they had one but not sure what happened to it?.”

Based on review of five staff’s records, the center failed to ensure that an employee was not employed until the center had the person’s out of state criminal history results.
“Evidence: Staff #4 was hired on 11/19/2018 and on the day of the inspection did not have the required out of state criminal history check completed.”

What the record doesn’t say
- Virginia doesn’t grade how serious a violation is, so no severity is shown.
- 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.
