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.

Prevention (42 CFR 418.60(a))
The inspectors’ words, 317 words
“Based on observation, interview, and record review, the agency failed to follow accepted standards of practice for infection control prevention by failing to change gloves when going from dirty to clean and failed to clean oxygen tubing that fell on the floor of the patient’s home for 1 (#16) of 4 sampled patients. Findings include: 1. During an observation on 2/28/24 at 11:30 a.m., staff member G greeted patient #16. Upon entering the patient’s home, oxygen tubing including a nasal cannula was observed on the floor beside the patient’s bed. Staff member G picked up the nasal cannula and placed it on the patient’s bed. Staff member G then assisted patient #16 to the bathroom and assisted the patient with a shower. When staff member G finished showering patient #16, she assisted the patient to put clothing on and assisted the patient back to the bed. Staff member G then placed the nasal cannula in the patient’s nose and around the patients ears. Staff member G did not clean the nasal cannula prior to placing it back on the patient. During an interview on 2/28/24 at 1:00 p.m., staff members C and E stated the nasal cannula needed to be cleaned before placing it on the patient, when it falls on the floor. 2. During an observation on 2/28/24 at 11:30 a.m. staff member G assisted patient #16 with a shower. When staff member G was done with the shower, she dried the patient’s skin and then put lotion on the patient’s arms and legs using the same gloves used to shower the patient. During an interview inn 2/28/24 at 1:00 p.m., staff members C and E stated gloves should be changed when going from a dirty to clean task, and should be sanitized in between glove changes. Review of the agency’s policy for standard precautions showed, “...3.2.1...personnel were to change gloves after contact with the patient.””

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.
