Position within TX
16 citations — more than 88% of the 1,177 certified nursing homes in TX. Compared within TX 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 14 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?
The window opens March 2027 — about 6 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was February 2026. Facilities in TX are typically surveyed 13–14 months after the last one (median 14), measured over 1,905 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

Emergency preparedness
4 of the 16 citations on file are 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)
4 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 16 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-0584 Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
- F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in TX, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the TX figure is the meaningful one.
