Position within GA
9 citations — more than 54% of the 356 certified nursing homes in GA. Compared within GA 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 3.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens October 2026 — about 1 month from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was August 2025. Facilities in GA are typically surveyed 14–20 months after the last one (median 16), measured over 532 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
