Facility-wide compliance
The smallest group and the one most often assumed to be fine. It is a documentation check: not whether the facility believes it is compliant, but whether it can show it on the day someone asks.
9 items in 3 categories. This is the source list, in full, in the order it is walked. Nothing is summarized away.
One note on the first category below. “Licensure and Accreditation” refers to the licenses and accreditations the facility holds and must be able to evidence. CareGuard does not issue, grant, renew or assess any of them; it checks whether the facility’s own documentation is current and produceable. What CareGuard is not.
