Position within ME

12 citations — more than 33% of the 78 certified nursing homes in ME. Compared within ME 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

Slippingmore citations at the latest survey than at its earlier surveys in the window.

The latest survey found 11 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 0.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.

When is the next survey likely?

Past the typical window (May 2026 to July 2026). Most ME facilities have been surveyed by September 2027. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was April 2025. Facilities in ME are typically surveyed 13–15 months after the last one (median 14), measured over 115 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)

4 physical-environment citations on the health survey.

Counted separately from the 12 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index

  • F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
  • F-0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.

How that compares

Citations on file over three years

Compared with the median facility in ME, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the ME figure is the meaningful one.
