Position within DE
4 citations — more than 65% of the 44 certified nursing homes in DE. 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
The latest survey found 0 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 2. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
Well past the typical window (June 2026 to August 2026), and past the point by which nine in ten DE facilities have been surveyed. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was July 2025. 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)
10 physical-environment citations on the health survey.

Counted separately from the 4 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index

- F-0924 Put firmly secured handrails on each side of hallways.
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in DE, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the DE figure is the meaningful one.
