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.

Plan Of Care
The inspectors’ words, 1,041 words
“Plan of care CFR(s): 484.60(a)(1) Each patient must receive the home health services that are written in an individualized plan of care that identifies patient-specific measurable outcomes and goals, and which is established, periodically reviewed, and signed by a doctor of medicine, osteopathy, or podiatry acting within the scope of his or her state license, certification, or registration. If a physician or allowed practitioner refers a patient under a plan of care that cannot be completed until after an evaluation visit, the physician or allowed practitioner is consulted to approve additions or modifications to the original plan. This Standard is not met as evidenced by: Based on clinical records review and staff interview, the Agency failed to ensure that patients receive services and treatments as ordered in the Plan of Care. This was evident in two (2) of seventeen (17) records reviewed (Patients #9 and #12). Failure to ensure that patients receive services and treatments as per the Plan of Care, has the potential for negative patient outcomes. The findings are: 1) Patient # 9 has a start of care date of 03/07/2024 with diagnoses of “Encounter for fitting and adjustment of urinary device, Quadriplegia, Neuromuscular dysfunction of Bladder, and Post-Polio Syndrome” as documented on the “Home Health Certification and Plan of Care” for certification period 08/29/2025 to 10/27/2025.

This was evident in review of one (1) of two (2) records with Home Health Aide services (Patient #9). Failure to perform onsite supervision of the Home Health Aide has the potential for negative patient outcomes. The findings are: 1) Patient # 9 has a start of care date of 03/07/2024 with diagnoses of “Encounter for fitting and adjustment of urinary device, Quadriplegia, Neuromuscular dysfunction of Bladder, and Post-Polio Syndrome” as documented on the “Home Health Certification and Plan of Care” for certification period 08/29/2025 to 10/27/2025. The “Home Health Certification and Plan of Care” for certification periods 08/29/2025 - 10/27/2025 and 10/28/2025 - 12/26/2025 document orders for “Skilled Nurse effective 9/14/25 1wk1, 1 every 4wk4, 1wk1 (one visit a week for one week, one visit every four weeks for four weeks, one visit a week for one week), Home Health Aide 1wk1, 2wk8, 1wk1 (one visit a week for one week, two visits a week for eight weeks, one visit a week for one week). Home Health Aide services are dated 08/29/25, 09/01/25, 09/05/25, 09/08/25, 09/12/25, 09/15/25, 09/19/25, 09/22/25, 09/26/25, 10/03/25, 10/06/25, 10/10/25, 10/13/25, 10/17/25, 10/20/25, 10/24/25, 10/31/25, 11/03/25, 11/07/25, 11/14/25. Home Health Aide supervision is dated 08/25/25 and 10/27/25. The “Visit Note Report” dated 09/16/25, 10/15/25, and 11/24/25 lack documented evidence of Home Health Aide supervision. The clinical record lacks documented evidence of supervisory assessment of Home Health Aide services being provided no less frequently than every 14 days. Survey findings were reviewed on 12/04/2025 at 03:45 PM with the Director of Patient Services/Clinical Manager. No explanation was provided. Interview and survey findings were reviewed on 12/05/2025 at 12:35 PM with the Branch Director and Director of Patient Services/Clinical Manager. Findings were acknowledged.”

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.
