As a result of this licensing investigation 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 investigation. 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 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 the P1's identified needs as specified in the support plan and the support plan addendum, and in compliance with the requirements of this chapter. P1’s support plan addendum dated January 9, 2026, documented that P1 requires support from two staff during all waking hours.

Corrective Action Ordered: Immediately upon receiving this order, you must provide services to P1 as assigned in the county support plan. 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.
