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.

  • Criminal background checks (42 CFR 418.114(d)(1))

    The inspectors’ words, 350 words

    “Based on record review and interview, the Agency failed to ensure that a Nurse Aide Registry background check for 3 of 3 volunteers (Volunteer #1, #2 and #3) was conducted prior to hire, as required. Findings include: Review of the 105 CMR 155.000: Patient and Resident Abuse Prevention, Reporting, Investigation, Penalties and RegistrySection: 105CMR 155.010 (E)(3) included the following: -All home health agencies, homemaker agencies, and hospice programs shall contact the Registry prior to hiring an individual who will provide direct care to patients or have access to patients or their property to ascertain if there is any sanction, finding or adjudicated finding of patient or resident abuse, neglect, mistreatment, or misappropriation of patient or resident property against the prospective employee. Review of Manual for MassHealth Providers, 130 CMR 437.000: Hospice Services: Hospice Providers Regulation indicated the following: Massachusetts Regulations 130 CMR 437.421: Administration and Staffing Requirements *Volunteer Services: The hospice provider must use volunteers in administrative or direct patient-care roles. The hospice provider must appropriately train volunteers and document its ongoing efforts to recruit and retain volunteer staff. The hospice provider must complete the same personnel screenings for volunteer staff that are required for paid employees of the hospice provider. Review of Volunteer #1s personnel record on 8/29/24 indicated that a background check was completed, and that Volunteer #1 joined the volunteer program on 3/16/21. Further review of the file failed to indicate a Nurse Aide registry check was conducted. Review of Volunteer #2s personnel record on 8/29/24 indicated that a background check was completed, and that Volunteer # 2 joined the volunteer program on 3/5/24. Further review of the file failed to indicate a Nurse Aide registry check was conducted. Review of Volunteer #3s personnel record on 8/29/24 indicated that a background check was completed, and that Volunteer #3 joined the volunteer program on 3/5/24. Further review of the file failed to indicate a Nurse Aide registry check was conducted. During an interview on 8/29/24 at 11:50 A.M., the Administrator said that they check for Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) but not Nurse Aid registry check for volunteers.”

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.
