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.

  • Director Of Dietary Services

    The inspectors’ words, 225 words

    “DIRECTOR OF DIETARY SERVICES CFR(s): 482.28(a)(1) The hospital must have a full-time employee who- (i) Serves as director of the food and dietetic services; (ii) Is responsible for daily management of the dietary services; and (iii) Is qualified by experience or training. This Standard is not met as evidenced by: 46468 Based on staff interview and review of facility policies and procedures, it was determined the facility failed to ensure their policies and procedures were applicable to the Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH), in one of eight policies. Findings include: On 03/19/26 at 11:45 AM, a policy and procedure was requested for nutrition/dietician services for the LTACH. At 1:15 PM, S2 provided the policy and procedure titled, “Registered Dietician and Therapeutic Diet.” A review of this policy and procedure lacked evidence it was applicable to the LTACH. On 03/19/26 at 2:25 PM, S1 explained that “our policies used to have LTACH on the front page, but it was changed to be uniform across the system.” S1 reviewed the facility policy, “Nursing Documentation” dated 05/25, and S1 confirmed other current policies list the LTACH [and other hospitals within the system that the policy applied to] on the last page of the document. At 3:49 PM, S1 confirmed the facility policy titled, “Registered Dietician and Therapeutic Diet” did not include LTACH on the document for applicability.”

    Rule A0620. Standard-level. From a complaint.

  • Organization Of Rehabilitation Services

    The inspectors’ words, 221 words

    “ORGANIZATION OF REHABILITATION SERVICES CFR(s): 482.56(a) The organization of the service must be appropriate to the scope of the services offered. This Standard is not met as evidenced by: 46468 Based on staff interview and review of facility policies and procedures, it was determined the facility failed to ensure their policies and procedures were applicable to the Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH), in two of eight policies reviewed. Findings include: On 03/19/26 at 11:45 AM, policies and procedures were requested for physical therapy (PT), and occupational therapy (OT) services at the LTACH. At 1:15 PM, S9 provided the policies and procedures titled, “Physical Therapy-Initial Evaluation Guidelines,” and “Occupational Therapy Initial Evaluation Guidelines.” A review of each policy and procedure lacked evidence it was applicable to the LTACH. On 03/19/26 at 2:25 PM, S1 explained that “our policies used to have LTACH on the front page, but it was changed to be uniform across the system.” S1 reviewed the facility policy, “Nursing Documentation” dated 05/25, and confirmed other current policies list the LTACH [and other hospitals within the system that the policy applied to] on the last page of the document. At 3:49 PM, S1 confirmed the policies and procedures titled, “Physical Therapy-Initial Evaluation Guidelines” and “Occupational Therapy Initial Evaluation Guidelines” did not include the LTACH on the document for applicability.”

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.
