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.

A drug regimen review will be performed at the time of initial and comprehensive assessment, when updates to the comprehensive assessments are performed, when care is resumed after a patient has been placed on hold and with the addition of a new medication…4. During subsequent home visits, the medication profile will be used as a care planning and teaching guide…” 2. Medical record review revealed Patient #1 was admitted on 8/1/2025 with a primary diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Review of the Client Medication Report revealed the following medications: Docusate sodium (a medication to treat constipation) 100 milligrams (mg) daily by mouth, Ibuprofen (a medication for pain) 800 mg one tablet every 8 hours by mouth, as needed (PRN), and prednisone (a medication to treat inflammation) 20 mg tablets 2 times per day by mouth. Observations during the home visit on 8/4/2025 at 2:20 PM, revealed there was no Docusate sodium or Ibuprofen in Resident #1’s medications. There was a bottle of Prednisone 10 mg tablets (instead of Prednisone 20 mg tablets as listed on the Client Medication Report). In an interview on 8/4/2025 at 2:25 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) #1 verified the Client Medication Report was not accurate. 3.

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.
