Position within NM
6 citations — more than 8% of the 68 certified nursing homes in NM. Compared within NM 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 1 citation; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 2.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
Well past the typical window (June 2026 to August 2026), and past the point by which nine in ten NM facilities have been surveyed. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was May 2025. Facilities in NM are typically surveyed 13–15 months after the last one (median 14), measured over 65 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
