01 / USE THE LEDGER
A four-question inspection check
The data can reveal questions to ask. It cannot observe today’s staffing, resident experience, or care.
- When was the inspection?Check survey dates and the CMS more-than-two-years flag before comparing counts.
- What was cited?Read the official description, scope/severity letter, complaint flag, and repeat dates.
- What follow-up is recorded?Look at CMS correction fields, revisits, penalties, and disputed-citation fields.
- Who is connected?Inspect the CMS chain and exact ownership disclosures without assuming every similar name is one entity.

THE NON-NEGOTIABLE LIMIT
A clean lobby cannot erase a citation. A database row cannot replace a visit.
Use both. Verify the latest government record, talk to residents and families where possible, ask what changed, and involve the ombudsman or state survey agency when the record raises concerns.
