CORRECTION ORDER
Dear Michelle Schaefer:
On October 31, 2025, a licensing investigation of Beacon Specialized Living Minnesota Inc, located at 1355 Mendota Heights Road Suite 260, Mendota Heights, 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 245D.07, subdivision 1a.
Violation: For one of one person whose record was reviewed (P1), the license holder did not provide person-centered planning and service delivery as required.
The license holder did not provide services in response to P1's identified needs when the license holder documented inconsistent information about P1’s supervision needs. The license holder documented in P1’s IAPP that staff would be present at all times when P1 is home and that phone calls would be monitored. The license holder documented elsewhere in P1’s record that P1 could remain home without supervision for brief periods of time with access to the home phone.
Corrective Action Ordered: Within 30 days of receiving this order, you must:
· review and revise P1’s support plan addendum with P1 and P1’s expanded support team;
· maintain this documentation in their records; and
· provide orientation on the updates to P1’s support plan addendum to all staff that provide direct support services to P1 and maintain documentation in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 245D.095.
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.
B. Right to Request Reconsideration
If you believe any of the citations are in error, you have the right to request that the Commissioner of Human Services reconsider the parts of the Correction Order that you believe to be in error. The request for reconsideration must be in writing and received by the Commissioner within 20 calendar days after receipt of this report. Your request for reconsideration must be sent to:
Commissioner, Department of Human Services Office of Inspector General Legal Counsel’s Office Attention: Licensing Legal Unit PO Box 64953 St. Paul, MN 55164-0953
Please note that a request for reconsideration does not stay any provisions or requirements of the Correction Order. The Commissioner’s disposition of a request for reconsideration is final and not subject to appeal under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 14.
If you have any questions regarding this Correction Order, please contact me as soon as possible.
