Position within AZ
3 citations — more than 21% of the 140 certified nursing homes in AZ. Compared within AZ 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 0.5. 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: February 2026 to October 2026. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was December 2024. Facilities in AZ are typically surveyed 14–22 months after the last one (median 18), measured over 143 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 3 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 AZ, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the AZ figure is the meaningful one.
