Position within VA
5 citations — more than 21% of the 289 certified nursing homes in VA. Compared within VA 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 2.5. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
Past the typical window (September 2025 to September 2026). Most VA facilities have been surveyed by February 2027. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was February 2023. Facilities in VA are typically surveyed 31–43 months after the last one (median 37), measured over 125 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

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 5 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
How that compares
Compared with the median facility in VA, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the VA figure is the meaningful one.
