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.

The inspectors’ words, 166 words
“The center failed to provide care and protection for a child outside on October 10 2025. At approximately 5:22pm on October 10, 2025, there were 13 children outside with 2 staff members. Staff #1 stated that they were discussing a situation with a parent and Staff #2 was interpreting for them. Staff #1 stated that while speaking with the parent, they observed Child #1 ( 5 years of age) climbing an outdoor play furniture (54 inches tall) and climb onto the school building roof (approximately 72 inches tall). Staff #1 stated that they asked Staff #2 for assistance and then Staff #2 climbed onto the roof after the child. Staff #2 stated that they and Child #1 were on the roof for approximately 15 to 20 seconds and that Child #1 was never out of sight. Staff #2 stated that when they reached the roof, they were able to hold hands with Child #1 and help guild them back down to Staff #1 on the ground.”
