Dear May Yang:
On April 10, 2025, a licensing review of Southview Adult Day Center located at 835 Southview Boulevard, South 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 9555.9660, subpart 1.
Violation: For one of three participants whose record was reviewed (P3), the license holder did not include information in the participant’s written record as required.

· P3’s medical history;
· indication of dietary restriction and medication regimen, including the need for medication assistance that apply to P3;
· a release signed by the physician indicating whether P3 may engage in a structured exercise program; and
· documentation that P3 was free from communicable disease or infestations, as specified in parts 4605.7000 to 4605.7090, that would endanger the health of other participants.
Repeat Violation: In a Correction Order that DHS issued on February 10, 2025, you were previously found in violation of this same rule.

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 a Correction Order that DHS issued on February 10, 2025, you were previously found in violation of this same rule.
Corrective Action Ordered: Within 30 days of receiving this order, you must update P1 and P2’s needs assessments to include information from the medical report received by P1 and P2’s physician. On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subpart.
