Of the citations on file

Position within NE

44 citations — more than 96% of the 180 certified nursing homes in NE. Compared within NE 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 22 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 11. 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 NE are typically surveyed 12–14 months after the last one (median 13), measured over 271 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

6 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.

Physical environment (health survey)

3 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 44 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index

F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
F-0923 Have enough outside ventilation via a window or mechanical ventilation, or both.

How that compares

Citations on file over three years

Compared with the median facility in NE, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the NE figure is the meaningful one.
