Position within PA

2 citations — more than 16% 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

When is the next survey likely?

The window opens February 2027 — about 4 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was March 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

Which alerts

Emergency preparedness

2 of the 2 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)

2 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 2 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index

  • F-0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
  • F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.

How that compares

Citations on file over three years

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