Position within MO
3 citations — more than 3% 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
The latest survey found 1 citation; 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 April 2027 — about 7 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was February 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

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 3 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
- F-0584 Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
- F-0919 Make sure that a working call system is available in each resident's bathroom and bathing area.
- F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in MO, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the MO figure is the meaningful one.
