Position within MS
2 citations — more than 66% of the 202 certified nursing homes in MS. Compared within MS 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
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens March 2027 — about 6 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was December 2025. Facilities in MS are typically surveyed 15–19 months after the last one (median 17), measured over 258 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)
3 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 2 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in MS, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the MS figure is the meaningful one.
