Position within VA

4 citations — more than 15% 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

Holding steadyabout the same at the latest survey as 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 September 2027 — about 12 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was February 2025. 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

Counted separately from the 4 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index

  • F-0909 Regularly inspect all bed frames, mattresses, and bed rails (if any) for safety; and all bed rails and mattresses must attach safely to the bed frame.
  • F-0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.

How that compares
