Position within WY
17 citations — more than 51% of the 36 certified nursing homes in WY. Compared within WY 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 7. 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 8 months from now. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was July 2026. Nursing homes nationally are typically surveyed 13–17 months after the last one (median 14), measured over 19,744 consecutive surveys in the last two years of CMS records. WY has too few recent surveys to measure on its own, so the national interval is used.
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

1 inspection-and-testing tag has been cited here at more than one survey. Nationally, that pattern is common: about three quarters of cited facilities have at least one repeated tag, and half of the facilities cited for sprinkler inspection and testing in CMS’s current file are cited for it again. A repeat is usually a recordkeeping gap rather than a new hazard.
Emergency preparedness
8 of the 17 citations on file are 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)
1 physical-environment citation 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 17 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
- 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 WY, and nationally. Surveyors differ markedly between states, so the WY figure is the meaningful one.
