CORRECTION ORDER

Dear Youa Her:

On January 10, 2024 a licensing review of Elder Care Day Services located at 1619 Leone Avenue, Saint Paul, 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 Rules, part 9555.9700, subpart 2.

Violation: For two of three participants whose records were reviewed (P1 and P2), the license holder did not complete initial service planning as required.

The license holder failed to conduct needs assessments for P1 and P2 that addressed the participant’s physical status, determined by observation, from the intake screening interview, and from the medical report received from P1 and P2’s physician.

Repeat Violation: In an Order of Conditional License that DHS issued on September 8, 2023, you were cited for a similar violation.

Corrective Action Ordered: Within 30 days of receiving this order, you must update P1 and P2’s needs assessments to include the information detailed above. On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subpart.

2. Citation: Minnesota Rules, part 9555.9700, subpart 3.

  Violation: For two participants whose records were reviewed (P1 and P2), the license holder did not develop a written plan of care as required.

  The license holder failed to develop written plans of care for P1 and P2 that included:

· an update of the preliminary service plan and additional services required by the participant;

· short and long term objectives for the participant stated in concrete, measurable and time specific outcomes;

· the staff members responsible for implementing the individual plan of care as       written; and

· provisions for quarterly review and quarterly revisions of the individual plan of       care.

  Repeat Violation: In an Order of Conditional License that DHS issued on September 8, 2023, you were cited for a similar violation.

Corrective Action Ordered: Within 30 days of receiving this order, you must:

· develop written plans of care for P1 and P2 that include the information listed above;

· complete an audit of all participants’ written plans of care to ensure the requirements in Minnesota Rules, part 9555.9700, subpart 3 are maintained; and

· for participants who do not have a written plan of care that includes all required information, you must develop a plan detailing how your program will maintain a complete written plan of care within 60 days of receiving this order.

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

B. Right to Request Reconsideration

If you believe any of the citations are in error, you have the right to request that the Commissioner of Human Services reconsider the parts of the Correction Order that you believe to be in error. The request for reconsideration must be in writing and received by the Commissioner within 20 calendar days after receipt of this report. Your request for reconsideration must be sent to:

Commissioner, Department of Human Services
Office of Inspector General
Legal Counsel’s Office
Attention: Licensing Legal Unit

Please note that a request for reconsideration does not stay any provisions or requirements of the Correction Order. The Commissioner’s disposition of a request for reconsideration is final and not subject to appeal under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 14.

If you have any questions regarding this Correction Order, please contact me as soon as possible.
