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.

Understanding deficiencies: Not all deficiencies indicate poor care. Learn how to interpret health inspection results and identify serious warning signs. Read our guide on warning signs →
