Dear Blia Vang:
On November 9, 2025, a licensing review of Tso Siab Adult Daycare Center located at 2090 11th Avenue East, North 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 three or three participants whose records were reviewed (P1-P3), the license holder did not include information in the participant’s written record as required.
a. The license holder did not include the following information in P1’s participant record:
· P1’s source of referral;
· a medical report, dated within the three months prior to or 30 days after P1’s admission to the center signed by a physician or signed by a physician assistant or registered nurse and cosigned by a physician; and
· P1’s service agreement with the center, that specified the responsibilities of P1 and the center with respect to payment for and provision of services.
b. The license holder did not include the name and telephone number of the person to call in case of emergency involving P2 and name and number of another person to call if that person cannot be reached in P2’s participant record.
c. The license holder did not include the following information in P3’s participant record:
· P3’s source of referral; and
· P3’s service agreement with the center, that specified the responsibilities of P3 and the center with respect to payment for and provision of services.
Repeat Violation: In a Correction Order that DHS issued on November 17, 2022, you were previously found in violation of this same rule.
Corrective Action Ordered: Within 30 days of receiving this order, you must maintain the information detailed above in P1-P3’s participant records. On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subpart.
2. Citation: Minnesota Rules, part 9555.9700, subpart 2.
Violation: For two participants whose records were reviewed (P1 and P3), the license holder did not complete initial service planning as required.
The license holder did not conduct a needs assessment for P1 and P3 within 30 days of P1 and P3’s admission to the center that included;
· P1 and P3’s psychosocial status (for example, awareness level, personal care needs, need for privacy or socialization);
· P1 and P3’s functional status (for example, endurance and capability for ambulation, transfer, and managing activities of daily living); and
· P1 and P3's physical status, determined by observation, from the intake screening interview, and from the medical report received from P1 and P3's physicians.
Corrective Action Ordered: Within 30 days of receiving this order, you must develop needs assessments for P1 and P3 that includes the information detailed above. On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subpart.
3. Citation: Minnesota Rules, part 9555.9700, subpart 3.
Violation: For two participants whose records were reviewed (P1 and P3), the license holder did not develop a written plan of care as required.
The license holder did not develop written plans of care for P1 and P3 that included:
· an update of the preliminary service plan and additional services required by P1 and P3; and
· short and long term objectives for P1 and P3 stated in concrete, measurable and time specific outcomes.
Repeat Violation: In a Correction Order that DHS issued on November 17, 2022, you were previously found in violation of this same rule.
Corrective Action Ordered: Within 30 days of receiving this order, you must develop written plans of care for P1 and P3 that includes the information detailed above. On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subpart.
4. Citation: Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.02, subdivision 2a.
Violation: The license holder did not offer adult day services as required.
Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.02, subdivision 2a defines adult day care as providing an individualized and coordinated set of services including health services, social services, and nutritional services that are directed at maintaining or improving the participants’ capabilities for self-care. Adult day care, adult day services, and family adult day services do not include programs where adults gather or congregate primarily for purposes of socialization, education, supervision, caregiver respite, religious expression, exercise, or nutritious meals.
The license holder did not provide an individualized set of services as evidenced in citations 2 and 4. At the time of licensing review, licensors observed that the needs assessments, in addition to the plans of care for P1 and P3 were identical.
Corrective Action Ordered: Within 15 days of receiving this order, you must provide an individualized and coordinated set of services to both P1 and P3. On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subdivision.
5. Citation: Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.65, subdivision 2, paragraph (a).
Violation: The license holder did not establish and enforce their program abuse prevention plan (PAPP) as required. The license holder failed to ensure the license holder’s governing body or the governing body’s delegated representative reviewed the PAPP at least annually. The license holder last reviewed the PAPP in September 2024. Corrective Action: Within 30 days of receiving this order, you must have your governing body, or the governing body’s delegated representative, review the PAPP and document the review of the PAPP. 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.
