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.

A Review Of All Current Medications
The inspectors’ words, 720 words
“A review of all current medications CFR(s): 484.55(c)(5) A review of all medications the patient is currently using in order to identify any potential adverse effects and drug reactions, including ineffective drug therapy, significant side effects, significant drug interactions, duplicate drug therapy, and noncompliance with drug therapy. This Element is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, document review and interview, it was determined for 1 of 7 (Pt #17) patients, where home visits were conducted, the Home Health Agency (HHA) failed to ensure that medications available to the patient were not expired. Findings include: 1. On 07/31/25 at 12:00 PM, a home visit was conducted at Pt #17’s residence. Pt #17’s start of care with home health services which include physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), and skilled nursing (SN) began on 6/20/25 for surgical aftercare following a left endarterectomy (surgical procedure to remove plaque buildup from the inner lining of an artery). During the visit the physical therapy assistant (PTA) (E#5) was observed reviewing the patient’s medications which were in a box on the table. During review of medication bottles, E#5 found two bottles of methocarbamol (muscle relaxant) 500 mg (milligrams) tablets to take 500 mg by mouth two times daily, as needed for muscle spasm. After this surveyor asked E#5 to inspect the bottles expiration dates, it was noted that one of the bottles expired 02/25. E#5 then informed the caretaker that it needed to be thrown out. The caretaker reluctantly stated, “I know, just leave this side of the med box alone. I will take care of it.” and then walked out of the room. The meds were not discarded during the visit. 2. On 7/31/25, the policy “Medication Reconciliation and Drug Review (approved 6/17/25), was reviewed. Under “Process: Medication Reconciliation: Home Health… 4. Separate discontinued/expired medications in the home and encourage the patient or caregiver to destroy. Educate patient/caregiver to refrain from taking any discontinued/expired medications and document accordingly.” 3. On 8/1/25 at approximately 10:00AM, all home health visits were reviewed from start of care, 6/20/25, which included SN, PT, and OT visits. Notes revealed the following: Physical therapist (PT) (E #6) visit on 6/20/2025 at 11:00 AM noted “...Medication Management...Medication Review New Medication: no, Medication discontinued: no, New/changed OTC (over the counter) Medication: no, Medication Needs/Issues Identified: none...” Physical therapist (PT) (E #6) visit on 6/25/2025 at 11:00 AM noted “...Medication Management...Medication Review New Medication: yes, Medication: cefpodoxime (antibiotic to treat bacterial infections), Medication discontinued: no, New/changed OTC (over the counter) Medication: no, Medication Needs/Issues Identified: none...” Physical therapy assistant (PTA) (E #5) visit on 6/30/2025 at 12:00 PM noted “...Medication Management...Medication Review New Medication: no, Medication discontinued: no, New/changed OTC (over the counter) Medication: no, Medication Needs/Issues Identified: none...” Physical therapist (PT) (E #6) visit on 7/16/2025 at 10:30 AM noted “...Medication Management...Medication Review New Medication: no, Medication discontinued: no, New/changed OTC (over the counter) Medication: no, Medication Needs/Issues Identified: none...” Registered Nurse (RN) (E #7) visit on 7/18/2025 at 1:00 PM noted “...Medication Management...Medication Review New Medication: no, Medication discontinued: no, New/changed OTC (over the counter) Medication: no, Medication Needs/Issues Identified: none...” Physical therapy assistant (PTA) (E #5) visit on 7/24/2025 at 1:00 PM noted “...Medication Management...Medication Review New Medication: no, Medication discontinued: no, New/changed OTC (over the counter) Medication: no, Medication Needs/Issues Identified: none...” Registered Nurse (RN) (E #7) visit on 7/25/2025 at 1:00 PM PM noted “...Medication Management...Medication Review New Medication: no, Medication discontinued: no, New/changed OTC (over the counter) Medication: no, Medication Needs/Issues Identified: none...” Physical therapy assistant (PTA) (E #5) visit on 7/29/2025 at 12:30 PM noted “...Medication Management...Medication Review New Medication: no, Medication discontinued: no, New/changed OTC (over the counter) Medication: no, Medication Needs/Issues Identified: none...” Physical therapy assistant (PTA) (E #5) visit on 7/31/2025 at 11:30 AM noted “...Medication Management...Medication Review New Medication: no, Medication discontinued: no, New/changed OTC (over the counter) Medication: no, Medication Needs/Issues Identified: none...” 4. On 07/31/25 at 2:15 PM, an interview with PTA, E#5, was conducted. E#5 stated that she was concerned on why this was not discovered before as there have been multiple home visits with this patient since 6/20/25 with various disciplines. E#5 stated that she contacted the case manager regarding this matter and verbally agrees this should have been taken care of at start of care, 6/20/25.”

What the record doesn’t say
- CMS doesn’t publish fines or other penalties for home health agencies, so none are shown.
- Only complaints that led to a citation appear; complaints that didn’t aren’t published.
- QCOR says some of its home health reports are accurate or available only through May 19, 2021, because of a systems migration.
- Many home health agencies are inspected by a private accrediting organisation instead of the state, and QCOR’s home health file doesn’t appear to include those inspections: no inspection on record here doesn’t mean none took place.
