About this data A citation is a finding by a state survey team working under federal contract. It is not a court judgment or an admission of wrongdoing. Severity letters A–L encode both the breadth of a deficiency and how much harm it caused; J, K, and L indicate Immediate Jeopardy — the highest severity on the federal scale.
