CORRECTION ORDER

Dear Brooke:

On May 15, 2024, a licensing review of Presbyterian Family Foundation, located at 901 Highway 71 NE, Willmar, 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 245A.65, subdivision 2.

Violation: For two of seven persons whose records were reviewed (P3 and P6), the license holder did not meet the requirements for abuse prevention plans as required.

The license holder failed to include measures with specific actions the program would take to minimize the rise of abuse within the scope of services in P3’s and P6’s Individual Abuse Prevention Plan (IAPP).
