Survey Watch tracks the electrical safety citations Life Safety Code surveyors issue to U.S. nursing homes, month by month and state by state, straight from CMS data. It's updated each month when CMS publishes new survey results. Facility names aren't shown here. To check a specific building, use the survey risk lookup.

Electrical Citations by Survey Month

The most recent two months are still being reported. CMS adds citations for a survey after the facility's plan of correction is processed, so recent months fill in over time.

Why Track This Monthly?

Surveyors in each state tend to focus on the same issues month after month. If surveyors near you are citing power strips or PCREE testing records right now, that's what they'll look for in your building. See the three-year picture in our state-by-state electrical citations report.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often is Survey Watch updated?
Monthly, after CMS publishes its updated nursing home survey data.
Why are the latest months lower?
CMS adds citations after each survey's results and plan of correction are processed, so the most recent one to two months are incomplete and fill in over time.
Can I see which facilities were cited?
Survey Watch shows state-level totals only. To check a specific nursing home, use the free survey risk lookup, which shows that facility's electrical citations and estimated next survey window.
