Position within SD

1 citations — more than 16% of the 96 certified nursing homes in SD. Compared within SD 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 December 2026 — about 3 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was October 2025. Facilities in SD are typically surveyed 15–16 months after the last one (median 16), measured over 136 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
