Position within IL
10 citations — more than 35% of the 664 certified nursing homes in IL. Compared within IL 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 1 citation; the earlier surveys on file averaged 4.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens March 2027 — about 4 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was April 2026. Facilities in IL are typically surveyed 11–14 months after the last one (median 13), measured over 739 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

Emergency preparedness
2 of the 10 citations on file are Emergency Preparedness E-tags. E-tags are cited under 42 CFR §483.73 and concern the emergency plan, training, drills, communications and supplies. Nationally about half of certified facilities have at least one. The Emergency Preparedness Index
Physical environment (health survey)
6 physical-environment citations 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 10 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.
- F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
- 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
Compared with the median facility in IL, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the IL figure is the meaningful one.
