Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers, when you need them most

The questions providers ask us most often — about citations, timelines, confidentiality, and what working together looks like.

What is a Plan of Correction (POC)?

A POC is your formal, written response to the Statement of Deficiencies, a state equivalent for licensed assisted living. It answers each cited deficiency separately — explaining how it will be corrected, who is responsible, and by when. Surveyors expect specific regulatory language and realistic timelines; that's exactly what we develop.

How fast can you turn around a response?

We respond to all inquiries within 24 hours. Standard Plans of Correction are generally completed within 5–8 business days.

CitationCare Members receive preferred turnaround based on membership level:

Resource Members: 5 business days
Compliance Members: 3–5 business days
Elite Members: 2–3 business days

For urgent matters, 24–48 hour expedited service may be available, with pricing confirmed in advance.

Because citation response deadlines can be short, we recommend contacting CitationCare as early as possible to allow sufficient time for review, preparation, and finalization before your deadline.

Who reviews my documents?

Our compliance team reviews your documentation throughout the correction process, helping ensure your response addresses the cited deficiencies, applicable regulatory requirements, and required corrective actions before final delivery.

Is my information confidential?

Yes. Your facility details and citation information are handled securely and never shared. Confidentiality is built into every step, from intake to delivery.

What does it cost?

Single Plans of Correction are quoted per citation based on complexity; membership is quoted by facility size. The initial consultation is always free, with no commitment.

Which providers do you work with?

Assisted living, residential care and RCFEs, group homes, adult day care, home care, home health, behavioral health, and veterans housing — any state-regulated care setting.

Do you cover my state?

We work with healthcare providers across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, tailoring every response to your state’s regulations.

What happens after my citation is resolved?

Members get ongoing support — documentation, regulatory alerts, check-ins, and pre-inspection prep — to keep the facility inspection-ready and prevent the next finding.
