Position within NV

59 citations — more than 100% of the 66 certified nursing homes in NV. Compared within NV 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 12.3. With 4 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.

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 NV facilities have been surveyed. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was June 2025. Facilities in NV are typically surveyed 11–13 months after the last one (median 12), measured over 117 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

Which alerts

8 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.

Emergency preparedness

20 of the 59 citations on file are Emergency Preparedness E-tags. E-tags are cited under 42 CFR §483.73 and concern the emergency plan, training, drills, communications and supplies. Nationally about half of certified facilities have at least one. The Emergency Preparedness Index

Physical environment (health survey)

2 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 59 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index

  • F-0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
  • F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.

How that compares

Citations on file over three years

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