Position within AZ
8 citations — more than 53% 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 3 citations; the earlier surveys on file 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: November 2026 to July 2027. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was August 2025. Facilities in AZ are typically surveyed 14–23 months after the last one (median 18), measured over 157 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

1 inspection-and-testing tag has been cited here at more than one survey. Nationally, that pattern is common: about three quarters of cited facilities have at least one repeated tag, and half of the facilities cited for sprinkler inspection and testing in CMS’s current file are cited for it again. A repeat is usually a recordkeeping gap rather than a new hazard.
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.
