Position within HI
2 citations — more than 24% 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?
The window opens May 2027 — about 6 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was April 2026. 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

Physical environment (health survey)
1 physical-environment citation on the health survey. Cited by the health surveyors under Appendix PP, not the Life Safety Code surveyor: equipment in safe operating condition, the call system, bed rails, pest control, hazards, the environment. Counted separately from the 2 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
- F-0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in HI, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the HI figure is the meaningful one.
