Position within LA
1 citations — more than 31% of the 265 certified nursing homes in LA. Compared within LA 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 2026 to October 2026. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was August 2025. Facilities in LA are typically surveyed 12–13 months after the last one (median 13), measured over 458 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)
2 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 1 Life Safety citation above. The Physical Environment Index
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in LA, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the LA figure is the meaningful one.
