Position within WI
6 citations — more than 5% of the 323 certified nursing homes in WI. Compared within WI 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 on file 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 July 2027 — about 9 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was June 2026. Facilities in WI are typically surveyed 13–15 months after the last one (median 14), measured over 519 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 about three years in Virginia. How the window is measured

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