Position within GA
2 citations — more than 6% 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
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens April 2027 — about 7 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was February 2026. 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

- F-0919 Make sure that a working call system is available in each resident's bathroom and bathing area.
How that compares
