Position within HI

1 citations — more than 7% of the 43 certified nursing homes in HI. Compared within HI 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 (December 2024 to May 2025), and past the point by which nine in ten US facilities have been surveyed. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was December 2023. Nursing homes nationally are typically surveyed 13–17 months after the last one (median 14), measured over 19,744 consecutive surveys in the last two years of CMS records. HI has too few recent surveys to measure on its own, so the national interval is used.

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

Citations in CMS's current file
