Position within MA
6 citations — more than 26% of the 341 certified nursing homes in MA. Compared within MA 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 4 citations; the earlier surveys on file averaged 1. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens June 2027 — about 7 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was June 2026. Facilities in MA are typically surveyed 12–14 months after the last one (median 13), measured over 553 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

- F-0919 Make sure that a working call system is available in each resident's bathroom and bathing area.
How that compares
