The state's wording

The program must retain on file in the program a medical statement, on forms furnished by the Office or approved equivalents, from a health care provider for each person residing in the home.

This is the text the state (OCFS) attaches to the citation. It is a template, so it can sound harsher or vaguer than the finding behind it.

Worth asking the provider

Is there a medical statement for each person who lives in the home?

Reading it on a record

Look at whether the citation is marked open or corrected, how long ago it was cited, and whether the same section shows up on several inspections. One corrected citation is common. The same one on visit after visit is worth a direct question. Our guide to checking a daycare and methodology explain the rest.
