Position within AR
5 citations — more than 39% of the 222 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 1 citation; the earlier surveys on file averaged 2. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens September 2027 — about 10 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was July 2026. Facilities in AR are typically surveyed 14–18 months after the last one (median 15), measured over 289 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 about three years in Virginia. How the window is measured

Physical environment (health survey)
3 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 5 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in AR, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the AR figure is the meaningful one.
