Position within AK
11 citations — more than 21% of the 20 certified nursing homes in AK. Compared within AK rather than nationally because which state a facility is in explains about 30% of the variation in citation counts between facilities, while bed count explains under 1%. State survey agencies differ far more than the buildings do. How this is calculated
The latest survey found 0 citations; the earlier surveys on file averaged 5.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window is open now: October 2026 to February 2027. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was September 2025. Nursing homes nationally are typically surveyed 13–17 months after the last one (median 14), measured over 19,744 consecutive surveys in the last two years of CMS records. AK has too few recent surveys to measure on its own, so the national interval is used.
A range the record supports, not a prediction of a date. State agencies vary widely — from about 11 months in Pennsylvania to about three years in Virginia. How the window is measured
