Position within ND
3 citations — more than 62% of the 72 certified nursing homes in ND. Compared within ND 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 0 citations; the earlier surveys on file averaged 1.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
Past the typical window (September 2026 to October 2026). Most ND facilities have been surveyed by November 2026. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was August 2025. Facilities in ND are typically surveyed 13–14 months after the last one (median 14), measured over 119 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 about three years in Virginia. How the window is measured

Physical environment (health survey)
4 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 3 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in ND, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the ND figure is the meaningful one.
