Position within AR
10 citations — more than 85% 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 5 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 2.5. 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: September 2026 to January 2027. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was August 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

Emergency preparedness
1 of the 10 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
Physical environment (health survey)
7 physical-environment citations 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. Counted separately from the 10 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
- F-0584 Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
- F-0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.

- F-0921 Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and the public.
