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.

Jan 23, 2026: reaccreditation inspection by the Community Health Accreditation Partner3 deficiencies

  • Content of comprehensive assessment (42 CFR 418.54(c)(6)(i))

    The inspectors’ words, 343 words

    “It is required that the documented comprehensive assessment includes a drug profile that contains the patient’s current prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs; supplements; herbal remedies; and other alternative treatments that could affect drug therapy. The drug profile is updated per the hospice policy and procedure, but, at minimum, at the time of each comprehensive assessment and/or when new medication is added or changes are made to existing medication. This standard was not met as evidenced by clinical record review, observation, document review, and interview. In 2 of 19 (11%) clinical records reviewed and home visits observed, the agency did not ensure that all of the patients’ current medications were included in the patients’ drug profiles. Agency Policy #0-990 “Medication Management & Administration” (dated 05/06/2024) stated in part, “Medication reconciliation should be completed on every comprehensive assessment and reassessment. The comprehensive assessment includes: Drug profile (medication reconciliation), including prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, supplements, herbal remedies, and other alternative treatments that could affect drug therapy.” CLINICAL RECORD 4/HOME VISIT 4: On 01/22/2026, an observed home visit was conducted with a Registered Nurse (Personnel Record 11). During the observed visit the patient’s current medications in the home were reviewed with the Registered Nurse. A bottle labeled “Men’s One-A-Day Multivitamins” was found. The patient reported taking the multivitamin. The current medication profile provided by the agency dated 01/22/2026 did not include the multivitamin. During interview at the end of the visit, the Registered Nurse stated “He has been taking the multivitamin for a couple weeks. I must have forgot to enter the order for that and add that to his medication list.” CLINICAL RECORD 7: The patient elected the hospice benefit on 09/15/2025. A PRN (pro re data; as needed) nursing visit note dated 11/23/2025 documented in part “Suprapubic catheter flushed with normal saline”. The patient’s current medication profile, dated 01/20/2026, did not include normal saline. During joint record reviews on 01/21/2026 and 01/22/2026, the Director of Clinical Operations confirmed the above findings, stating “I do not see normal saline or a multivitamin on these patients’ medication lists.””

    Rule L0530. Standard-level.

  • Supervision of hospice aides (42 CFR 418.76(h)(1)(i))

    The inspectors’ words, 595 words

    “It is required that Hospice Aides are supervised by a Registered Nurse who makes an on-site visit to the patient’s home no less frequently than every 14 days to assess the quality of care and services provided by the Hospice Aide, and ensure that services ordered by the hospice Interdisciplinary Group (IDG) meet the patient’s need. The Hospice Aide does not need to be present. This standard was not met as evidenced by clinical record review and interview. In 5 of 14 (36%) clinical records reviewed with Hospice Aide (HA) services provided, the agency did not ensure that HA supervisory visits were completed by a Registered Nurse (RN) no less frequently than every 14 days. CLINICAL RECORD 3: The patient elected the hospice benefit on 06/30/2025. The plans of care (POC) dated 06/30/2025 through 09/27/2025 and 09/28/2025 through 12/26/2025 ordered “HA 2 times per week”.

  • Content (42 CFR 418.104(a)(7))

    The inspectors’ words, 280 words

    “It is required that a patient clinical record containing past and current findings is maintained for each hospice patient. The record contains correct clinical information that is available to the patient’s attending physician and hospice staff. The record may be maintained electronically or on paper. Each patient’s record includes, at a minimum: Physician orders. This standard was not met as evidenced by clinical record review, observation, and interview. In 2 of 19 (11%) clinical records reviewed, the agency did not ensure that the patients’ clinical records included all physician’s orders. CLINICAL RECORD 4/HOME VISIT 4: On 01/22/2026, an observed home visit was conducted with a Registered Nurse (Personnel Record 11). During the observed home visit the patient’s current medications in the home were reviewed with the Registered Nurse. A bottle labeled “Men’s One-A-Day Multivitamins” was found. The patient reported taking the multivitamin. The clinical record was absent documentation of a physician’s order for the multivitamin. During interview at the end of the visit, the Registered Nurse stated “He has been taking the multivitamin for a couple weeks. I must have forgot to enter the order for that and add that to his medication list.” CLINICAL RECORD 7: The patient elected the hospice benefit on 09/15/2025. A PRN (pro re data; as needed) nursing visit note dated 11/23/2025 documented in part “Suprapubic catheter flushed with normal saline.” The clinical record was absent documentation of a physician’s order for suprapubic catheter irrigation with normal saline. During joint record reviews and interview on 01/21/2026 and 01/22/2026, the Director of Clinical Operations confirmed the above findings, stating “I do not see orders for catheter irrigation with normal saline or a multivitamin in these charts.””

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.
