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 clinical record failed to include an HHA supervisory visit at least every 14 days. During an interview on 4/08/26 at 10:12 AM, RN 2 relayed she could not look back in the EMR to the previous certification period to see whether an HHA supervisory visit was conducted for Patient #15 between 1/26/26 and 2/16/26. During an interview on 4/08/26 at 12:20 PM, the Clinical Supervisor relayed the type of supervisory note in the EMR for Patient #15 on 2/02/26 did not give the ability to document the HHA’s name or the supervisory questions. 5. Review of Patient #16’s clinical record included HHA visit notes dated 2/18/26, 2/25/26, 3/11/26, 3/19/26, 3/27/26, and 4/02/26.

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.
