How CDSS classifies it

Community Care Licensing classifies each deficiency as Type A, a violation that if not corrected poses a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety or personal rights of residents, or Type B, a violation that without correction could become such a risk, a recordkeeping violation, or a violation that could affect required services.
