Survey Preparedness Starts Here.
CMS Compliance Group identifies gaps, strengthens compliance, and prepares your team for every survey — planned or unannounced. We're in skilled nursing facilities every week. We see what surveyors see, and we help you fix it first.
Why Survey Preparedness Matters
With evolving CMS expectations and surveyors who arrive with data already in hand, facilities that prepare continuously outperform those that prepare seasonally. Survey readiness built into daily operations isn't just good practice — it's the difference between a manageable survey and a damaging one.
What We Provide
Comprehensive compliance support for skilled nursing facilities across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Mock Surveys
We conduct a full facility review that mirrors the CMS Long-Term Care Survey Process — with the insight of CMSCG's seasoned consultants. We walk your building the way a surveyor walks it: observing hallways, dining rooms, care interactions, and documentation. You'll receive clear written findings, prioritized recommendations, and the confidence that comes from knowing what a real surveyor would have cited.
- Full facility walkthrough using LTCSP protocols
- Resident and staff interviews
- Dining room and kitchen observation
- Medical record review
- Environmental and life safety review
- Written findings with prioritized recommendations
- Post-survey debrief with leadership
Training & Education
We turn regulations into real-world know-how. Your leadership and staff learn what surveyors look for, how to respond under pressure, and how to sustain compliance between surveys — not just during survey week.
Policy & Procedure Review
Our consultants analyze your documentation against current CMS guidance and best practices, identifying gaps between what your policies say and what's actually happening on the floor. Because that gap is where citations are born.
Ongoing Compliance Support
Sustained readiness requires sustained attention. CMSCG stays with you between surveys — providing proactive oversight, regulatory updates, and ongoing coaching so your facility isn't starting from scratch every survey cycle.
Targeted On-Site Support
Not every situation calls for a full mock survey. CMSCG offers focused, on-site reviews built around your specific compliance concerns. If there's something keeping you up at night, we can build something around it.
Regular eyes in the building between surveys — catching gaps before a surveyor does.

We walk your building the way a surveyor does — noting what no documentation audit will surface.

Real-time assessment of your med pass process against current CMS expectations.
