What these words mean2
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.

Nov 5, 2025: reaccreditation inspection by the Community Health Accreditation Partner2 deficiencies

  • Supervision of hospice aides (42 CFR 418.76(h)(1)(i))

    The inspectors’ words, 225 words

    “It is required that hospice aides are supervised by a registered nurse who makes an on-site visit to the patient’s home no less frequently than every 14 days to assess the quality of care and services provided by the hospice aide and ensure that services ordered by the hospice Interdisciplinary Group (IDG) meet the patient’s need. This standard was not met as evidenced by clinical record review, document review and interview. In 1 of 9 (11%) clinical records reviewed of patients who received hospice aide services, revealed the agency did not ensure that the hospice aide was supervised by an RN no less frequently than every 14 days DOCUMENT 2: The agency policy 1-37 Hospice Aide Supervisory Visits stated in part “The frequency of supervisory visits will be based upon the needs of the patient after the plan of care is established. They must be conducted no less frequently than every 14 days.” CLINICAL RECORD 10: The hospice aide plan of care was dated 10/05/2025. The hospice aide frequency was ordered once a week for twelve weeks. Hospice aide visits were documented on 10/09/2025, 10/16/2025, 10/23/2025 and 10/29/2025. There was no evidence of a nurse supervision as of the date of site visit on 11/04/2025. The Clinical Director was interviewed on 11/04/2025. She acknowledged that supervisory visits for hospice aide visits had not been documented.”

    Rule L0629. Standard-level.

  • Coordination of services (42 CFR 418.112(e)(3)(ii))

    The inspectors’ words, 236 words

    “It is required that the designated IDG member provides the SNF/NF or ICF/IID with the following information for each patient/resident: the hospice election form. This standard was not met as evidenced by document review, interview and observation. In 2 of 2 (100%) home visits conducted to patients residing in a Skilled Nursing Facility, revealed the agency did not ensure the hospice election form was provided to the SNF. DOCUMENT 3: The agency’s Policy & Procedure 1-030 Provision of Care to Residents of SNF/NF or ICF/IID read in relevant parts, “The organization will provide the SNF/NF or ICF/IID the following information specific to each patient: hospice election form.” HOME VISIT 1: During a home visit on 10/04/2025, a review of the hospice agency’s patient binder located at the Skilled Nursing Facility was conducted. The binder included a section for Hospice consents. The binder was reviewed in its entirety, and a copy of the hospice election form was not located. HOME VISIT 2: During a home visit on 10/04/2025, a review of the hospice agency’s patient binder located at the Skilled Nursing Facility was conducted. The binder included a section for Hospice consents. The binder was reviewed in its entirety, and a copy of the hospice election form was not located. On 10/04/2025, the Hospice Clinical Director was interviewed. She stated they delivered the election forms to the facility but was unaware of where the forms were located.”

    Rule L0781. Standard-level.

What the record doesn’t say

  • CMS doesn’t publish fines or other penalties for hospices, so none are shown.
  • Only complaints that led to a citation appear; complaints that didn’t aren’t published.
  • CMS ended its Special Focus Program for hospices with serious problems on Feb 14, 2025, so no hospice is marked as one.
  • Hospice quality measures have a gap from October 2025: CMS replaced its patient assessment then, and public results from the new one (HOPE) are expected around November 2027.
