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.

Promptly Alert Relevant Physician Of Changes
The inspectors’ words, 333 words
“Promptly alert relevant physician of changes CFR(s): 484.60(c)(1) The HHA must promptly alert the relevant physician(s) or allowed practitioner(s) to any changes in the patient’s condition or needs that suggest that outcomes are not being achieved and/or that the plan of care should be altered. This Element is not met as evidenced by: Based on record review and interview, the SN staff failed to promptly alert the physician the need to alter the plan of care based on patient specific needs assessed for one (#5) of thirteen (#1 - #13) records reviewed. Patient #5: Review of Patient #5 record for SOC certification period 11/04/25 to 01/02/26 showed a primary diagnosis of Hypertensive Heart Disease with Chronic Kidney Disease with Heart Failure and a secondary diagnosis of Type II Diabetes Mellitus with Diabetic Chronic Kidney Disease. Further review of Physician orders included SN visits 1 time a week for 9 weeks and “SN to monitor patient log of glucose reading for abnormalities and report out of range findings prn to PCP”. Blood glucose parameters specified “Fasting BS 150 mg/dl or Random BS 200 mg/dl”. SN Visit Notes for 11/11/25, 11/17/25,11/25/25, 12/2/25, and 12/09/25 documented the patient does not check blood sugar and her daughter states patient is not a diabetic. No diabetic medications were identified on the current Client Medication Report. During a home visit on 12/17/25 at 3:00 PM, the daughter informed this Surveyor the patient was not a diabetic and they do not routinely check her blood sugar. The daughter stated the physician had discontinued medications several years ago because the patient’s blood sugar was within normal range without medications. The daughter stated she did not know why they still have her as a diabetic. During an interview on 12/18/25 at 9:15 AM, RN1 stated there was no evidence the SN notified the physician the patient and daughter were not checking blood sugars as indicated on the plan of care and the need to alter the plan of care for Patient #5.”

Onsite Supervisory Visit Every 14 Days
The inspectors’ words, 283 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 record review and interview, the RN staff failed to conduct an onsite supervisory visit of the Home Health Aide at least every 14 days for one (#3) of two (#3 and #9) records reviewed with orders for Home Health Aide services. Patient #3: Review of Patient #3 record for recertification period 12/04/25 to 02/01/26 showed a diagnosis of Essential Hypertension and orders for SN visits 1 time a week for 8 weeks and Home Health Aide (HHA) visits 1 time a week for 1 week and 2 times a week for 8 weeks. Further review of RN visits failed to provide evidence an HHA Supervisory Visit (SAV) was conducted as required on 11/04/25, a RN SAV was conducted 12/03/25 (1 day late) and no additional RN SAV was documented as of the time of this survey. During an interview on 12/18/25 at 9:15 AM, RN1 stated the RN staff failed to conduct onsite HHA Supervisory Visits at least every 14 days as required for Patient #3.”

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.
