See every building in your organization on one page. Search for a nursing home chain or operator to see which of its buildings were cited for electrical safety on CMS Life Safety Code surveys in the last three years, which were cited under K921 (PCREE testing), and which have a survey window open now.

    How to read the report

    • Buildings cited for electrical safety counts buildings with any of K911, K912, K914, K919, K920 or K921 since October 2023. Nationally, 43.9% of nursing homes were cited at least once.
    • K921 is the tag for testing and maintaining patient care electrical equipment (PCREE). 9.3% of nursing homes were cited for it, and 76% of those citations were rated widespread. See what a K921 citation means.
    • Survey window is our estimate: 9 to 15 months after the last standard survey on record. Federal law requires standard surveys within 15 months, with a statewide average of 12.

    What to do with it

    Start with the buildings at the top of the list: an open window plus a K921 or K920 history is where a repeat citation is most likely. Then put every building on the same testing standard so results stop depending on who runs maintenance at each site. Our multi-facility PCREE program schedules buildings in exactly this order. If you buy through procurement, start with the procurement packet.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Where does this data come from?
    From two public CMS datasets: Provider Information (which links each nursing home to a chain or affiliated entity) and Fire Safety Deficiencies (Life Safety Code citations). We refresh the data monthly when CMS publishes updates.
    Why is one of our buildings missing or listed under another organization?
    CMS groups buildings by the chain or affiliated entity reported to it. Recent acquisitions, sales and management agreements can take a few months to show up. You can look up any single building by name in the facility survey-risk lookup.
    Does a building with no electrical citations need PCREE testing?
    Yes. NFPA 99 and CMS require documented testing of patient care electrical equipment at every building. A clean survey history usually means testing was documented at the last survey, not that it is current today.
    Can I get this report for a list of buildings that are not in one CMS chain?
    Yes. Request a multi-facility quote with your building list and we will send back the same risk-ranked view for exactly those buildings.
