The city's wording
At time of inspection child care service unable to document that all children enrolled have had an age appropriate medical evaluation.
This is the text DOHMH or the state attaches to the citation. It is a template, so it can sound harsher or vaguer than the finding behind it.
Worth asking the center
How do you keep each child's medical evaluation on file?
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.
