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
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?
Past the typical window (June 2025 to June 2026). Most VA facilities have been surveyed by October 2026. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was November 2022. 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

Emergency preparedness
1 of the 4 citations on file is Emergency Preparedness E-tags. E-tags are cited under 42 CFR §483.73 and concern the emergency plan, training, drills, communications and supplies. Nationally about half of certified facilities have at least one. The Emergency Preparedness Index
Physical environment (health survey)
6 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 4 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
- F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
- F-0584 Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
- F-0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
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.
