How to read this record
Making sense of a CMS inspection record
CMS scores every citation on a grid from A to L, combining how widespread a finding was with how serious it was. A–C is a deficiency CMS classifies as no harm; D–F as the potential for harm; G–I as actual harm that reached a resident; and J–L as immediate jeopardy, CMS’s most serious level. Later letters mark more serious findings.
Three questions to ask on a tour
- How is the home staffed on nights, weekends, and holidays?
- What happens when a resident’s condition changes suddenly?
- How, and how quickly, are families told about an incident?
