Position within IA
7 citations — more than 21% of the 387 certified nursing homes in IA. 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
The latest survey found 2 citations; the earlier surveys on file averaged 2.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens May 2027 — about 6 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was July 2026. Facilities in IA are typically surveyed 11–13 months after the last one (median 12), measured over 692 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
