Position within NC
No citations on file — none of the 419 certified nursing homes in NC has fewer. Compared within NC 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?
Well past the typical window (May 2026 to July 2026), and past the point by which nine in ten NC facilities have been surveyed. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was March 2025. Facilities in NC are typically surveyed 14–16 months after the last one (median 15), measured over 412 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
A clean record — put the badge on your website
3 Life Safety surveys in the CMS window, no citations. The badge below is drawn from the CMS file each month and links to this page, so it stays true on its own: it says what the public record says, nothing more. It is offered only while the record has no citations, at least two surveys, and a survey in the last 24 months.
