Understanding Deficiencies

Deficiencies are violations of federal health and safety standards identified during CMS inspections. They are categorized by scope (isolated, pattern, or widespread) and severity (potential for harm vs. actual harm).

Critical deficiencies involve actual harm to residents and should be carefully considered. Facilities typically have opportunities to correct deficiencies and implement preventive measures.
