Position within OH

27 citations — more than 81% of the 922 certified nursing homes in OH. Compared within OH 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 16 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 5.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.

When is the next survey likely?

The window opens October 2027 — about 13 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was February 2026. Facilities in OH are typically surveyed 20–32 months after the last one (median 26), measured over 889 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

3 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

2 of the 27 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
