Position within PA

4 citations — more than 22% of the 656 certified nursing homes in PA. Compared within PA 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

Holding steadyabout the same at the latest survey as at its earlier surveys in CMS's current file.

The latest survey found 0 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 opens June 2027 — about 7 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was August 2026. Facilities in PA are typically surveyed 11–12 months after the last one (median 11), measured over 1,101 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

Which alerts

Emergency preparedness

4 of the 4 citations on file are Emergency Preparedness E-tags — every citation here is about the program, not the building. 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)

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 4 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-0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.

How that compares

Citations in CMS's current file

Compared with the median facility in PA, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the PA figure is the meaningful one.
