What these words mean3
- Star ratings
- CMS rates some kinds of place from 1 to 5 stars, more stars meaning better on CMS’s own measures for that kind: for a nursing home, its health inspections, staffing and quality measures. A rating is CMS’s summary of those measures; it doesn’t promise good care. Source: CMS, Care Compare and the Five-Star Quality Rating System.
- 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.

The inspectors’ words, 607 words
“PA-FREQUENCY REASSESSMENT-UNSTABLE Q MO CFR(s): 494.80(d)(2) In accordance with the standards specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(13) of this section, a comprehensive reassessment of each patient and a revision of the plan of care must be conducted- At least monthly for unstable patients including, but not limited to, patients with the following: (i) Extended or frequent hospitalizations; (ii) Marked deterioration in health status; (iii) Significant change in psychosocial needs; or (iv) Concurrent poor nutritional status, unmanaged anemia and inadequate dialysis. This Standard is not met as evidenced by: 37656 Based on a review of one of three medical records (Medical Record [MR] #1), staff interviews, and facility documents review, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the interdisciplinary team conducted a comprehensive reassessment of Patient 1’s (P1) significant change in psychosocial needs. Findings include: A review of P1’s medical record indicated that on April 12, 2024, Staff (S) 11, Social Worker (SW), documented: “SW met up with pt [patient] chairside. ... Pt also informed Bed bugs were found in [his/her] person. ... Pt was informed bed bugs are different and that [he/she] will need an exterminator for [his/her] home. Pt also reported [he/she] has also found bugs with the facility. ...” S11 documented that he/she gave instructions to P1 on the bed bug protocol. S11 documented monthly follow up of P1’s ongoing psychosocial issues. On 6/24/24, S11 documented P1 stated that his/her apartment has been fumigated but could not provide documentation. On 10/23/24, S12, Registered Nurse, S9 and S11, both Social Workers met with P1 at chairside. P1 confirmed that there was infestation of bed bugs and roaches in his/her apartment. P1 had acknowledged the need for fumigation but it hadn’t been done. On 10/24/24, S11 documented that he/she spoke to P1 and told him/her that (name of local health department) was informed and will be visiting him/her. On 11/7/24, S11 saw P1 at chairside and documented: “... saw a bed bug in [his/her] shoe. ...” S9 documented on 11/13/24 that he/she called (name of local health department) to discuss an update on the patient’s home but no answer. On 11/15/24, S9 contacted the Renal Network. On 11/19/24, S11 documented, “SW called ... (name of Health Department representative) ... [he/she] reported [he/she] has not been able to get information on the owner. ... SW will talk to PT about answering [his/her] phone for callers. ... Pt stated [he/she] is unable to get the phone number of [his/her] Landlord. ...” Upon interview on 11/26/24 at 3:00 PM, S6, Social Worker, stated that S8, Charge Registered Nurse (RN) and two social workers had a meeting with P1 on October 23, 2024 to discuss his/her psychosocial issues regarding bed bug infestation and trying to get his/her home fumigated and other social issues. S6 also stated that on 11/19/24, they discussed the issues with the facility administrators and discussed again with P1. S6 stated that P1 has not been made unstable. At 3:03 PM, in an interview with S9 and S11, staff stated APS (Adult Protective Services) was notified of P1’s case in August. APS went to P1’s home but he/she wasn’t there. On 9/30/24, S11 spoke with P1 at chairside and stated he/she still had bed bugs. P1’s medical record contained a stable plan of care on October 5, 2024. Upon interview at 3:35 PM, S1, Nurse Manager, and S8, Charge Nurse, stated that they will make P1 “unstable” in December. A review of the facility policy titled, “Comprehensive Interdisciplinary Assessment and Plan of Care,” published 07/03/2023, stated, “... CIA/POC for Unstable Patients ... The following are unstable criteria: ... Significant change in psychosocial needs ... “”
