Position within MA
7 citations — more than 31% 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 0 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 3.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens May 2027 — about 7 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was May 2026. Facilities in MA are typically surveyed 12–15 months after the last one (median 13), measured over 556 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

2 inspection-and-testing tags have been cited here at more than one survey. Nationally, that pattern is common: about three quarters of cited facilities have at least one repeated tag, and half of the facilities ever cited for sprinkler inspection and testing are cited for it again. A repeat is usually a recordkeeping gap rather than a new hazard.
Emergency preparedness
1 of the 7 citations on file is 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)
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 7 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in MA, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the MA figure is the meaningful one.
