CORRECTION ORDER
Dear Hawj Xiong:
On May 7, 2026, a licensing review of Hope Senior Center located at 1730 Gervais Avenue, Maplewood, 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 Statutes, section 245A.65, subdivision 2, paragraph (b).
Violation: For two of four participants whose records were reviewed (P3 and P4), the license holder did not meet the requirements for an individual abuse prevention plan (IAPP).
The license holder did not develop an IAPP for P3 and P4 as part of P3 and P4’s initial individual program plan or service plan that included:
· an individualized assessment of P3 and P4’s susceptibility to abuse by other individuals, including other vulnerable adults;
· P3 and P4’s risk of abusing other vulnerable adults; and
· statements of the specific measures to be taken to minimize the risk of abuse to P3 and P4 and other vulnerable adults.
Repeat Violation: In a Correction Order that DHS issued on May 10, 2023, you were previously found in violation of this same statute.
Corrective Action Ordered: Within 30 days of receiving this order, you must develop IAPPs for P3 and P4 that includes the information as detailed above. On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subdivision.
2. Citation: Minnesota Rules, part 9555.9660, subpart 1.
Violation: For one participant whose record was reviewed (P4), the license holder did not include information in the participant’s written record as required.
The license holder did not maintain an application form for P4 in P4’s participant record that included P4’s sex.
Repeat Violation: In a Correction Order that DHS issued on May 10, 2023, you were previously found in violation of this same rule.
Corrective Action Ordered: At the time of the licensing review, the license holder added P4’s sex to their participant record, therefore no corrective action is required. 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 (P3 and P4), the license holder did not develop a written plan of care as required.
The license holder did not develop a written plan of care for P3 and P4 that included:
· short and long-term objectives stated in concrete, measurable, and time specific outcomes; and
· the anticipated duration of the individual plan of care as written.
Repeat Violation: In a Correction Order that DHS issued on May 10, 2023, you were previously found in violation of this same rule.
Corrective Action Ordered: Within 30 days of receiving this order, you must develop a written plan of care for P3 and P4 that includes the information as detailed above. On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subpart.
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

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.
