Position within TX

4 citations — more than 20% 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

Improvingfewer citations at the latest survey than at its earlier surveys in the window.

The latest survey found 1 citation; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 1.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.

When is the next survey likely?

The window opens February 2027 — about 4 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was December 2025. 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
