CDPH inspects Medi-Cal certified ICFs for CMS (the federal agency calls these "surveys"). Each finding has a code: W for a care or rights rule, E for emergency preparedness, K for fire safety. A "condition-level" finding is the most serious kind: a whole area of care failed. How to read an ICF inspection

Content note: these federal findings describe residents' care and can include abuse, neglect, injuries and medical details. They're shown as CMS published them; residents are identified only by number (such as "Client 1").
