Position within SC
7 citations — more than 90% of the 187 certified nursing homes in SC. Compared within SC 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 in the window 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 8 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was April 2026. Facilities in SC are typically surveyed 13–21 months after the last one (median 15), measured over 286 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
