Position within IN
8 citations — more than 23% of the 507 certified nursing homes in IN. Compared within IN 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 3 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 2.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
Well past the typical window (February 2026 to April 2026), and past the point by which nine in ten IN facilities have been surveyed. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was March 2025. Facilities in IN are typically surveyed 11–14 months after the last one (median 13), measured over 883 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

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 8 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-0919 Make sure that a working call system is available in each resident's bathroom and bathing area.
- F-0921 Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and the public.
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in IN, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the IN figure is the meaningful one.
