Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.

What these words mean3
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.
Condition-level deficiency
For hospices, home health agencies, hospitals and dialysis facilities, CMS writes deficiencies at two levels. Standard is the usual one; condition-level is the more serious, when a problem is serious enough that the provider doesn’t meet a whole condition of taking part in Medicare. Source: CMS, State Operations Manual.

  • Physical Environment

    The inspectors’ words, 165 words

    “PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT CFR(s): 482.41 The hospital must be constructed, arranged, and maintained to ensure the safety of the patient, and to provide facilities for diagnosis and treatment and for special hospital services appropriate to the needs of the community. This Condition is not met as evidenced by: 33044 Based on the manner and degree of the standard level deficiency referenced to the Condition, it was determined the Condition of Participation, §482.41 Condition of Participation: Physical Environment was out of compliance. A-0700 - The hospital must be constructed, arranged, and maintained to ensure the safety of the patient, and to provide facilities for diagnosis and treatment and for special hospital services appropriate to the needs of the community. Based on a life safety code complaint inspection completed on 9/23/24, the facility failed to comply with the regulations set forth for Life Safety. Therefore, a deficiency was cited under the Life Safety Code tag K-0521. See survey event ID 6V3K21 for full details of the cited deficiency.”

    Rule A0700. Condition-level. From a complaint.

  • Initial Comments - Not A Deficiency Citation

    “A complaint inspection prompted by CO#37592 was completed on 9/23/2024. One deficiency was cited. Corrective action is required. Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital is a Type II (222) fully sprinklered facility.”

    The inspectors’ words, 227 words

    “HVAC CFR(s): NFPA 101 HVAC Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning shall comply with 9.2 and shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. 18.5.2.1, 19.5.2.1, 9.2 This Standard is not met as evidenced by: 43825 Based on observation and documentation review, it was determined that the facility failed to meet the building services requirements in accordance with NFPA 101, 80, 90A, and 105.

This deficiency has the potential to affect occupants, who might include patients, staff, and visitors within all smoke compartments. Deficient items were discussed with the maintenance staff and facility administrator during the exit conference. NFPA 101 4.6.12.1 Whenever or wherever any device, equipment, system, condition, arrangement, level of protection, fire-resistive construction, or any other feature is required for compliance with the provisions of this Code, such device, equipment, system, condition, arrangement, level of protection, fire-resistive construction, or other feature shall thereafter be continuously maintained. Maintenance shall be provided in accordance with applicable NFPA requirements or requirements developed as part of a performance-based design, or as directed by the authority having jurisdiction. NFPA 80 19.4.5 The operational test of the damper shall verify that there is no damper interference due to rusted, bent, misaligned, or damaged frame or blades, or defective hinges or other moving parts.”

What the record doesn’t say

  • CMS doesn’t publish fines or other penalties for inpatient rehabilitation facilities or long-term care hospitals, so none are shown.
  • Only complaints that led to a citation appear; complaints that didn’t aren’t published.
  • Many of these facilities are accredited by a private organisation (The Joint Commission, DNV and others) whose routine inspections stand in for the state’s; those reports aren’t public, and QCOR holds only the state’s surveys: no inspection on record here doesn’t mean none took place.
  • QCOR says its hospital inspection data are complete only through September 17, 2026, while it moves to a new system.
  • CMS doesn’t publish staffing levels for these facilities.
