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.

The inspectors’ words, 243 words
“It is required that each patient’s individualized written plan of care includes all services necessary for the palliation and management of the terminal illness, including the following: Medical supplies and appliances necessary to meet the needs of the patient. This standard was not met as evidenced by clinical record review and interview. In 2 of 14 (14%) clinical records reviewed the agency did not ensure that all medical supplies and appliances necessary to meet the needs of the patient were included in the patient’s individualized written plan of care. CLINICAL RECORD 9: The patient elected the hospice benefit on 12/07/2023. A physician’s order dated 11/11/2024 read in part “Oxygen 2 liters via nasal cannula as needed for comfort”. The plans of care dated 12/01/2024 through 01/29/2025, 01/30/2025 through 03/30/2025, 03/31/2025 through 05/29/2025, 05/30/2025 through 07/28/2025, and 07/29/2025 through 09/26/2025 did not include documentation of the patient’s oxygen supplies. The plan of care dated 09/27/2025 through 11/25/2025 was updated on 10/07/2025 to include the patient’s oxygen supplies. CLINICAL RECORD 12: The patient elected the hospice benefit on 04/08/2025. The plan of care dated 04/08/2025 through 07/06/2025 included an order for a foley catheter. The plan of care lacked documentation of the patient’s foley catheter supplies. During joint record reviews and interview on 10/06/2025 and 10/08/2025, the Area Executive of Clinical Operations (Personnel Record 1) confirmed the above findings that foley catheter supplies and oxygen supplies were not included in the patients plans of care.”

Hospice aide assignments and duties (42 CFR 418.76(g)(1))
The inspectors’ words, 193 words
“It is required that hospice aides are assigned to a specific patient by a registered nurse who is a member of the Interdisciplinary Group. Written patient care instructions for a hospice aide are prepared by a RN who is responsible for the supervision of the hospice aide. This standard was not met as evidenced by clinical record review and interview. In 1 of 8 (12%) clinical records reviewed with hospice aide services provided the agency did not ensure that all written patient care instructions were included in the hospice aide care plan. CLINICAL RECORD 10: The patient elected the hospice benefit on 09/19/2025. A physician’s order dated 09/20/2025 read in part “Place 18Fr foley catheter”. The plan of care dated 09/19/2025 through 12/17/2025 ordered “Hospice Aide (HA) 2x per week starting week of 09/21/2025”. The first Hospice Aide visit was dated 09/22/2025. The Hospice Aide care plan dated 09/19/2025 was not updated to include foley catheter care instructions. During a joint record review and interview on 10/08/2025, the Area Executive of Clinical Operations (Personnel Record 1) confirmed the above finding that the hospice aide care plan did not include foley catheter care instructions.”

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.
