Position within PA

12 citations — more than 56% 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

Slippingmore citations at the latest survey than at its earlier surveys in the window.

The latest survey found 6 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 May 2027 — about 7 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was July 2026. Facilities in PA are typically surveyed 10–12 months after the last one (median 11), measured over 1,113 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
