Position within OH
46 citations — more than 98% of the 924 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
The latest survey found 1 citation; the earlier surveys on file averaged 11.3. With 5 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens April 2028 — about 17 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was August 2026. Facilities in OH are typically surveyed 19–32 months after the last one (median 26), measured over 985 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

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 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.
Emergency preparedness
3 of the 46 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)
14 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 46 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
