Survey types are the state’s own wording; one date can combine several. A follow-up (the state writes “Revisit”) re-checks whether earlier findings were corrected, so it covers less ground than a full survey — which is why a clean follow-up alone never earns a clean record here. Counts are deficiencies cited at each severity Level; read the methodology page for what the Levels mean, and ask the residence for the reports themselves.
