Position within HI

1 citations — more than 10% 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?

Past the typical window (November 2025 to April 2026). Most US facilities have been surveyed by December 2026. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was November 2024. Nursing homes nationally are typically surveyed 12–17 months after the last one (median 14), measured over 19,385 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 three years in Maryland. How the window is measured

  • F-0584 Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.

How that compares

Citations on file over three years
