In short

  • Our license must be renewed every year. The license is posted in the office for everyone to see.
  • If a Department surveyor arrives, ask to see identification, then tell the Administrator and the Director of Patient Care Services right away.
  • Give surveyors what they ask for. Never change, back-date, or remove a record.
  • We offer only the services and serve only the area the Department has approved. Ask before you promise anything new to a patient or referral source.
  • Tell the office at once about any letter from the Department. A plan of correction is due within 10 calendar days.
