Position within ID

2 citations — more than 5% of the 80 certified nursing homes in ID. Compared within ID 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 is open now: August 2025 to August 2027. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was August 2024. Facilities in ID are typically surveyed 12–36 months after the last one (median 14), measured over 112 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
