Position within UT
6 citations — more than 57% of the 97 certified nursing homes in UT. Compared within UT 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 0 citations; the earlier surveys in the window averaged 3. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens July 2027 — about 10 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was December 2025. Facilities in UT are typically surveyed 19–24 months after the last one (median 21), measured over 88 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
