CORRECTION ORDER

Dear Mohamed Keynan:

On January 18, 2023, a licensing review of Cedar Adult Day Care Services Center, located at 415 Cedar Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota, was conducted to determine compliance with Minnesota Statutes and Rules governing adult day care services under Minnesota Rules, parts 9555.9600 through 9555.9730 (Rule 223). As a result of this licensing review, a Correction Order is being issued.

A. Reason for Correction Order

Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.06, if the Commissioner of the Department of Human Services (DHS) finds that the license holder has failed to comply with an applicable law or rule and this failure does not imminently endanger the health, safety, or rights of the persons served by the program, the Commissioner may issue a Correction Order to the license holder.

The following violation(s) of state or federal laws and rules were determined as a result of the licensing review. Corrective action for each violation is required by Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.06 and is hereby ordered by the Commissioner of Human Services.

1. Citation: Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.65, subdivision 1, paragraph (c) and subdivision 2, paragraph (a).

Violation: For one of two participants whose record was reviewed (P2), the license holder did not provide orientation to the license holder’s internal and external reporting procedures related to suspected or alleged maltreatment and the program abuse prevention plan (PAPP) as required.

The license holder failed to provide orientation to P2 on the licensor holder’s internal and external reporting procedures and PAPP within 24 hours of admission. P2 was admitted to the center on September 6, 2022 and the license holder provided P2 the required orientation on September 19, 2022.

Corrective Action Ordered: On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in these subdivisions.

2. Citation: Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.65, subdivision 2, paragraph (b).

Violation: For two participants whose records were reviewed (P1 and P2), the license holder did not meet the requirements for an individual abuse prevention plan (IAPP).

a. The license holder failed to develop an IAPP for P1 as part of P1’s initial individual program plan or service plan.

b. The license holder maintained an IAPP for P2 that was not dated; therefore, it was unable to be determined if the license holder developed P2’s IAPP as part of the initial individual program plan or service plan or reviewed P2’s IAPP quarterly.

Corrective Action Ordered: Immediately, you must develop an IAPP for P1. Within 30 days of receiving this order, you must:

· review P1 and P2’s IAPPs with the person’s interdisciplinary team and document the review;

· complete an audit of all participants’ IAPPs to ensure the requirements in Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.65, subdivision 2, paragraph (b) are maintained; and

· for participants whose IAPPs are not developed and reviewed as required, you must develop a plan detailing how your program will maintain IAPPs as required within 60 calendar days of receiving this order.

On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subdivision.

3. Citation: Minnesota Rules, part 9555.9640.
