Position within AL
8 citations — more than 37% of the 224 certified nursing homes in AL. Compared within AL 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 2 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 3. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
Well past the typical window (December 2021 to May 2022), and past the point by which nine in ten US facilities have been surveyed. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was December 2020. Nursing homes nationally are typically surveyed 12–17 months after the last one (median 14), measured over 19,385 consecutive surveys in the last two years of CMS records. AL 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 three years in Maryland. How the window is measured

1 inspection-and-testing tag has been cited here at more than one survey. Nationally, that pattern is common: about three quarters of cited facilities have at least one repeated tag, and half of the facilities ever cited for sprinkler inspection and testing are cited for it again. A repeat is usually a recordkeeping gap rather than a new hazard.
Emergency preparedness
1 of the 8 citations on file is Emergency Preparedness E-tags. E-tags are cited under 42 CFR §483.73 and concern the emergency plan, training, drills, communications and supplies. Nationally about half of certified facilities have at least one. The Emergency Preparedness Index
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in AL, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the AL figure is the meaningful one.
