Position within MT
7 citations — more than 17% of the 61 certified nursing homes in MT. Compared within MT 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 4 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 1. With 4 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens May 2027 — about 7 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was May 2026. Facilities in MT are typically surveyed 12–13 months after the last one (median 12), measured over 104 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

1 inspection-and-testing tag has been cited here at more than one survey. Nationally, that pattern is common: about three quarters of cited facilities have at least one repeated tag, and half of the facilities ever cited for sprinkler inspection and testing are cited for it again. A repeat is usually a recordkeeping gap rather than a new hazard.
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in MT, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the MT figure is the meaningful one.
