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.

Findings include: During an interview on 2/12/25 at 2:59 p.m., staff member A stated the agency did not have employee education for emergency preparedness based on the risk assessment for the hospice agency. She stated the education provided to employees was more specific to an inpatient setting. Review of employee personnel records, on 2/12/25, for staff members A, B, D, E, and F showed no initial on-boarding or biennial emergency preparedness training based on the agencys established emergency plan and risk assessment.”

    “Based on interview and record review, the agency failed to ensure 3 (staff members D, E, and F) of 5 sampled staff members, were currently certified in Basic Life Support (BLS), as per their job descriptions and requirements of the agency. Findings include: Review of staff member D’s job description, dated 4/16/24, showed under Education and Experience, “Current BLS certification.” Review of staff member D’s personnel file, on 2/12/25, showed her BLS certification had expired on 8/2024. Review of staff member E’s job description, dated 2/25/21, showed under Minimum License Requirement, “Current BLS certification required.” Review of staff member E’s personnel file, on 2/12/25, showed her BLS certification had expired on 1/2025. Review of staff member F’s job description, dated 4/16/24, showed under Education and Experience, “Basic Life Support required.” Review of staff member F’s personnel file, on 2/12/25, showed no BLS certification upon hire or thereafter was on file. During an interview on 2/12/25 at 2:20 p.m., staff member A stated when staff member F was hired, the hospital was down two positions in Human Resources and staff member F’s BLS certification was not done upon hire. Staff member A stated nurses were responsible for renewing their BLS certifications, but the agency needs to keep up on the recording of their completion also. She stated the agency was looking for BLS education/certification classes as soon as possible for staff members D, E, and F.”

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.
