Position within AR
7 citations — more than 61% of the 221 certified nursing homes in AR. Compared within AR 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 in the window averaged 3.5. 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 2026 to June 2026), and past the point by which nine in ten AR facilities have been surveyed. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was January 2025. Facilities in AR are typically surveyed 12–17 months after the last one (median 15), measured over 307 consecutive surveys in the last two years of CMS records.
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
