Position within MO

4 citations — more than 6% of the 487 certified nursing homes in MO. Compared within MO 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 2 citations; the earlier surveys in the window 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 July 2027 — about 10 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was May 2026. Facilities in MO are typically surveyed 14–21 months after the last one (median 17), measured over 567 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

Which alerts

Physical environment (health survey)

4 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 4 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index

  • F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
  • F-0921 Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and the public.
  • F-0909 Regularly inspect all bed frames, mattresses, and bed rails (if any) for safety; and all bed rails and mattresses must attach safely to the bed frame.

How that compares

Citations on file over three years
