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.

Content of plan of care (42 CFR 418.56(c))
The inspectors’ words, 160 words
“It is required that each patient’s individualized written plan of care reflects patient and family goals; and identifies planned interventions based on problems identified in the initial and updated comprehensive assessments. This standard was not met as evidenced by clinical record review and interview. In 1 of 6 (17%) clinical records reviewed, the agency did not ensure the individualized written plan of care included planned interventions based on problems identified in the initial and updated comprehensive assessments. Clinical Record 3: The patient elected the hospice benefit on 12/04/2024. The initial nursing assessment dated 12/04/2024 included documentation that the “Patient has dysphagia. Family educated on aspiration precautions.” The plan of care dated 12/04/2024 through 03/01/2025 did not include interventions for the patient’s dysphagia documented in the initial nursing assessment. During a joint record review on 12/11/2024, the Vice President of Clinical Operations confirmed the assessment included documentation of dysphagia and the plan of care did not include interventions related to dysphagia.”

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.
