Position within MS
1 citations — more than 37% 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 October 2026 — about 1 month from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was July 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
