Position within IA

No citations on file — none of the 387 certified nursing homes in IA has fewer. Compared within IA 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 November 2026 — about 1 month from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was December 2025. Facilities in IA are typically surveyed 11–13 months after the last one (median 12), measured over 700 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

A clean record — put the badge on your website

3 Life Safety surveys in the CMS window, no citations. The badge below is drawn from the CMS file each month and links to this page, so it stays true on its own: it says what the public record says, nothing more. It is offered only while the record has no citations, at least two surveys, and a survey in the last 24 months.
