Position within PA
8 citations — more than 40% 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
The latest survey found 3 citations; the earlier surveys on file averaged 2.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens December 2026 — about 2 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was February 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

- F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
How that compares
