Position within DE

No citations on file — none of the 44 certified nursing homes in DE has fewer. Compared within DE 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

When is the next survey likely?

Well past the typical window (April 2025 to June 2025), and past the point by which nine in ten DE facilities have been surveyed. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was May 2024. Facilities in DE are typically surveyed 12–13 months after the last one (median 12), measured over 54 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

Physical environment (health survey)

8 physical-environment citations on the health survey — nothing on the Life Safety survey itself. 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 0 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index

  • F-0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
  • F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
  • F-0908 Keep all essential equipment working safely.
  • 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.

How that compares

Citations on file over three years
