Position within NY
8 citations — more than 20% of the 592 certified nursing homes in NY. Compared within NY 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 4 citations; the earlier surveys on file averaged 2. 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: April 2026 to November 2026. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was October 2024. Facilities in NY are typically surveyed 18–25 months after the last one (median 21), measured over 520 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

1 inspection-and-testing tag has 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 cited for sprinkler inspection and testing in CMS’s current file 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 8 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.
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in NY, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the NY figure is the meaningful one.
