Position within MT

30 citations — more than 90% 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

Slippingmore citations at the latest survey than at its earlier surveys in the window.

The latest survey found 13 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 8.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.

When is the next survey likely?

The window opens March 2027 — about 5 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was March 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

Which alerts

3 inspection-and-testing tags have 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.

Emergency preparedness

4 of the 30 citations on file are Emergency Preparedness E-tags. E-tags are cited under 42 CFR §483.73 and concern the emergency plan, training, drills, communications and supplies. Nationally about half of certified facilities have at least one. The Emergency Preparedness Index

Physical environment (health survey)

16 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 30 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-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
  • F-0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.

How that compares

Citations on file over three years
