CARE INITIATIVES
43 certified nursing homes in 1 state · as recorded by CMS
Across the portfolio
22 of 43 facilities have more citations on file than the median facility in their own state. Each building is compared within its state, not nationally, because which state a facility is in explains about 30% of the variation in citation counts. 37 facilities have at least one tag cited at more than one survey — the recordkeeping pattern rather than a one-off finding. How this is calculated
Improving31 facilities found fewer citations at the latest survey than at earlier surveys in the window.
13 facilities are past the typical survey window for their state — surveyed longer ago than most facilities in that state go between surveys. How windows are measured
