Position within WY
6 citations — more than 14% 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 4 citations; 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?
Past the typical window (May 2026 to September 2026). Most US facilities have been surveyed by June 2027. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was April 2025. Nursing homes nationally are typically surveyed 12–17 months after the last one (median 14), measured over 19,385 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 three years in Maryland. How the window is measured

Emergency preparedness
1 of the 6 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)
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 6 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
- F-0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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.
