Position within NH
6 citations — more than 32% of the 73 certified nursing homes in NH. Compared within NH 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 3 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?
The window is open now: October 2026 to November 2026. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was October 2025. Facilities in NH are typically surveyed 12–13 months after the last one (median 12), measured over 133 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
