Position within NY
8 citations — more than 20% of the 593 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 2 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 3. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens December 2026 — about 2 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was June 2025. Facilities in NY are typically surveyed 18–25 months after the last one (median 22), measured over 523 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

Emergency preparedness
1 of the 8 citations on file is 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)
6 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-0584 Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
- F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
- F-0921 Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and the public.
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.
