Dear Fartun Weli:
On December 6, 2023, a licensing review of Peace of Mind Care Center, located at 2518 North Second Street Suite 116, Minneapolis, Minnesota, was conducted to determine compliance with state and federal laws and rules governing the provision of home and community-based services to persons with disabilities and age 65 and older under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 245D. 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 245D.05, subdivision 2.

Corrective Action Ordered: Immediately you must include notation in P1’s medication administration record of when a medication or treatment was started, administered, changed, or discontinued for each medication that was administered to P1. On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subdivision.
2. Citation: Minnesota Statutes, section 245D.071, subdivision 3, paragraph (d).

The license holder stated that a discussion of how technology might be used to meet the desired outcomes for P1 and P2 was included in each person’s 45-day planning meeting, however, the license holder failed to include a summary of these discussions in each person’s support plan or support plan addendum.
Corrective Action Ordered: Within 30 days of receiving this order you must discuss with P1 and P2’s interdisciplinary teams about how technology might be used to meet the desired outcomes for P1 and P2. Additionally, you must also include a summary of this discussion in P1 and P2’s support plan addendums. On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subdivision.

Corrective Action Ordered: Immediately, you must provide SP1 orientation to vulnerable adult maltreatment reporting and document the orientation in SP1’s personnel record. On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subdivision.
