What is the term used for visits made to a facility by authorized staff for assessment and inspection?

The term "Survey Visits" specifically refers to visits made by authorized staff to a facility for the purposes of assessment and inspection. These visits are crucial for ensuring that the facility meets regulatory standards and provides a safe and effective environment for residents. During a survey visit, evaluators review various aspects of the facility, such as resident care practices, staffing levels, and overall compliance with state and federal regulations. These assessments are essential for maintaining quality standards in assisted living environments.

The other terms, while related, do not accurately capture the formal process of regulatory assessment carried out by authorized inspectors. "Review Periods" and "Compliance Checks" can refer to different types of evaluations that may not be as comprehensive as a survey visit. "Facility Audits" typically imply a more internal examination rather than an external regulatory survey. Thus, "Survey Visits" most accurately describes the process of authorized inspections in assisted living settings.
