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.

Visit Schedule
The inspectors’ words, 325 words
“Visit schedule CFR(s): 484.60(e)(1) Visit schedule, including frequency of visits by HHA personnel and personnel acting on behalf of the HHA. This Element is not met as evidenced by: Based on clinical record reviews and staff interview, the agency failed to provide patients with a written visit schedule that is consistent with the patient’s plan of care. This was evident for one (1) of three (3) clinical records reviewed (Patient #3). Failure to provide patients with a written visit schedule that is consistent with the patient’s plan of care has the potential for negative patient outcomes. The finding is: 1. Patient #3 has a Start of Care Date of 06/24/2025, a discharge date of 07/18/2025, with diagnoses of Pressure Ulcer of Left Heel, Stage 3, Strain of Left Quadriceps Muscle, Fascia and Tendon, and Unspecified Fall documented on the Home Health Certification and Plan of Care with a Certification Period from 06/24/2025 to 08/22/2025. The Home Health Certification and Plan of Care with a Certification Period from 06/24/2025 to 08/22/2025 documents the following ordered services: 06/24/2025 - 07/13/2025 - SN 3 week 3 (Skilled Nurse three (3) times a week for three (3) weeks), 06/26/2025 - 07/13/2025 - PT 1 week 1; 2 week 2 (Physical Therapy one (1) times a week for one week, then two (2) times a week for two (2) weeks), 06/26/2025 - 07/13/2025 - Aide 2 week 1; 3 week 2 (Aide two (2) times a week for one (1) week, then three (3) times a week for two (2) weeks). There is no documented evidence of the patient being provided with a written home visit schedule of when the patient can expect visits from Skilled Nursing, Physical Therapy, and aide services based on the patient’s plan of care. On 08/20/2025 at 12:55 PM, the Administrator was interviewed and stated, the Case Manager tells them verbally and they receive a 485 (Home Health Certification and Plan of Care) by mail.”

Onsite Supervisory Visit Every 14 Days
The inspectors’ words, 321 words
“Onsite supervisory visit every 14 days CFR(s): 484.80(h)(1)(i) (1)(i) If home health aide services are provided to a patient who is receiving skilled nursing, physical or occupational therapy, or speech language pathology services— (A) A registered nurse or other appropriate skilled professional who is familiar with the patient, the patient’s plan of care, and the written patient care instructions described in paragraph (g) of this section, must complete a supervisory assessment of the aide services being provided no less frequently than every 14 days; and (B) The home health aide does not need to be present during the supervisory assessment described in paragraph (h)(1)(i)(A) of this section. This Element is not met as evidenced by: Based on clinical record reviews and staff interviews, the agency failed to provide supervision of the Home Health Aide no less frequently than every 14 days. This was evident for one (1) of three (3) clinical records reviewed (Patient #3). Failure to supervise the Home Health Aide no less frequently than every 14 days has the potential for negative patient outcomes. The finding is: 1. Patient #3 has a Start of Care Date of 06/24/2025, a discharge date of 07/18/2025, with diagnoses of Pressure Ulcer of Left Heel, Stage 3, Strain of Left Quadriceps Muscle, Fascia and Tendon, and Unspecified Fall documented on the Home Health Certification and Plan of Care with a Certification Period from 06/24/2025 to 08/22/2025. The clinical record documents Home Health Aide services began on 06/27/2025 and the last day of Home Health Aide services was on 07/16/2025. The clinical record documents one Home Health Aide supervision on 07/16/2025, nineteen days after Home Health Aide Services started on 06/27/2025. There is no documented evidence of a Home Health Aide supervision being conducted no less frequently than every 14 days after Home Health Aide services started on 06/27/2025. On 08/20/2025 at 10:50 AM, the Administrator was interviewed and did not provide an explanation.”

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.
