Position within AL
6 citations — more than 22% 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 3 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 1.5. 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 (January 2021 to June 2021), and past the point by which nine in ten US facilities have been surveyed. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was January 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

Physical environment (health survey)
1 physical-environment citation on the health survey. Cited by the health surveyors under Appendix PP, not the Life Safety Code surveyor: equipment in safe operating condition, the call system, bed rails, pest control, hazards, the environment.

- F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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.
