Dear Stuart Lindeman:

On September 12, 2024, a licensing review of Mission Today, located at 5430 Boone Avenue, New Hope, 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.
