Position within WV
3 citations — more than 16% of the 123 certified nursing homes in WV. Compared within WV 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. With 3 surveys on file this is a direction of travel, not a conclusion.
When is the next survey likely?
The window opens October 2027 — about 12 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was April 2026. Facilities in WV are typically surveyed 17–22 months after the last one (median 19), measured over 171 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
