Position within SD

4 citations — more than 60% 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

Holding steadyabout the same at the latest survey as at its earlier surveys in the window.

The latest survey found 2 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 1. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.

When is the next survey likely?

Well past the typical window (May 2026 to July 2026), and past the point by which nine in ten SD facilities have been surveyed. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was March 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

Which alerts

Emergency preparedness

1 of the 4 citations on file is Emergency Preparedness E-tags. 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)

5 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 4 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.
  • F-0909 Regularly inspect all bed frames, mattresses, and bed rails (if any) for safety; and all bed rails and mattresses must attach safely to the bed frame.

How that compares

Citations on file over three years

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