Position within TX
8 citations — more than 52% 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 3 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 2.5. 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 (June 2026 to July 2026), and past the point by which nine in ten TX facilities have been surveyed. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was April 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

1 inspection-and-testing tag has been cited here at more than one survey. Nationally, that pattern is common: about three quarters of cited facilities have at least one repeated tag, and half of the facilities ever cited for sprinkler inspection and testing are cited for it again. A repeat is usually a recordkeeping gap rather than a new hazard.
Physical environment (health survey)
2 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 8 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
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.
