CORRECTION ORDER

Dear Olamide Gbemisola Bakarez:

On June 21, 2024, a licensing investigation of Beyond Home Health Care, located at 1710 Douglas Drive North, Suite 209B, Golden Valley, 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 investigation, 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 of state or federal laws and rules was determined as a result of the licensing investigation. Corrective action for the violation is required by Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.06 and is hereby ordered by the Commissioner of Human Services.

Citation: Minnesota Statutes, section 245D.10, subdivision 3a.

Violation: For one of one person whose record was reviewed (P1), the license holder did not enforce written policies and procedures when initiating a service termination, as required.

P1 resided in a living unit controlled by the license holder and received the intensive   service of integrated community service (ICS). The license holder issued P1 and P1’s case   manager a Notice to Vacate on February 27, 2024. The Notice to Vacate documented   the date to vacate as April 30, 2024. The license holder failed to:

· document actions taken to minimize or eliminate the need for   termination including at a minimum:

o consultation with P1’s support team or expanded support team to identify and resolve issues leading to issuance of the notice; and

o a request to P1’s case manager for intervention services identified in section 245D.03, subdivision 1, paragraph ( c), clause (1), or other professional consultation or intervention services to support the person in the program;

· notify the person or the legal representative and case manager in writing of the intended service termination at least 60 days prior to termination and according to the requirements in section 245D.010, subdivision 3a, paragraph (d).

Corrective Action Ordered: P1 no longer receives services from the license holder. Within 30 days of receiving this order, you must submit a detailed plan to this licensor on how you will ensure compliance with this requirement. On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subdivision.

If you fail to correct the violations specified in the Correction Order within the prescribed time lines the Commissioner may issue an Order of Conditional License or may impose a fine and order other licensing sanctions pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections 245A.06 and 245A.07.
