Position within GA
8 citations — more than 46% 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 0 citations; the earlier surveys on file averaged 4. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens November 2026. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was September 2025. Facilities in GA are typically surveyed 14–19 months after the last one (median 16), measured over 546 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

How that compares
Compared with the median facility in GA, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the GA figure is the meaningful one.
