During a review conducted on 09/22/25 it was determined that: (1) your operation?s administrator failed to ensure compliance with the current HM Plan; and (2) 12 months had elapsed since the effective date of the plan. As you know, the heightened monitoring plan for your operation included a specific ?planned end date? at the original 12-month mark by which your operation was expected to meet all heightened monitoring criteria necessary to move out of active heightened monitoring to a phase of ?post plan monitoring?. As a direct result of the administrator?s failure to ensure timely compliance with heightened monitoring plan, your operation is now unable to successfully move to post-plan monitoring. Furthermore, your operation?s ?planned end date? must now be revised, and the period of heightened monitoring must be extended. Further details of the administrator?s failure to ensure compliance include the following: - Operation failed to demonstrate 6 months of successive compliance with the standard and contract requirements that led to heightened monitoring; and - Operation was unable to meet compliance with Medium-High or High weighted licensing citations.

During a review conducted on 03/18/2024 it was determined that: (1) your operation?s administrator failed to ensure compliance with the current HM Plan; and (2) 12 months had elapsed since the effective date of the plan. As you know, the heightened monitoring plan for your operation included a specific ?planned end date? at the original 12-month mark by which your operation was expected to meet all heightened monitoring criteria necessary to move out of active heightened monitoring to a phase of ?post plan monitoring?. As a direct result of the administrator?s failure to ensure timely compliance with heightened monitoring plan, your operation is now unable to successfully move to post-plan monitoring. Furthermore, your operation?s ?planned end date? must now be revised, and the period of heightened monitoring must be extended. Further details of the administrator?s failure to ensure compliance include the following: Your operation received a high-weighted citation in a pattern/trend category on 01/08/24. Specifically, the operation was cited for 748.685(a)(4). It was reported that a staff is on their phone or computer a lot of the time looking at social media (such as Instagram, Tik Tok, and/or Facebook) or YouTube while working and while supervising children in care. - Operation failed to demonstrate 6 months of successive compliance with the standard and contract requirements that led to heightened monitoring; and - Operation was unable to meet compliance with Medium-High or High weighted licensing citations. Finding: 748.535(2) ? The licensed administrator must ensure the operation complies with current heightened monitoring plans.

During a review conducted on 03/13/2023 it was determined that: (1) the Administrator failed to ensure compliance with the current HM Plan; and (2) 12 months had elapsed since the effective date of the plan. The heightened monitoring plan for this operation included a specific ?planned end date? at the 12-month mark by which the operation was expected to meet all heightened monitoring criteria necessary to move out of active heightened monitoring to a phase of ?post plan monitoring?. As a direct result of the administrator?s failure to ensure timely compliance with the heightened monitoring plan, this operation is now unable to successfully move to post-plan monitoring. Furthermore, the operation?s ?planned end date? must now be revised, and the period of heightened monitoring must be extended. Further details of the administrator?s failure to ensure compliance include the following: - Operation failed to satisfy the conditions of the plan, - Operation failed to demonstrate 6 months of successive compliance with the standard and contract requirements that led to heightened monitoring; and - Operation was unable to meet compliance with Medium-High or High weighted licensing citations, including having an open investigation.
