In short

The Agency must hold a DC home care agency license and a Certificate of Need. Our license is posted in the DC office.
Our DC office is staffed at least eight hours a day, Monday through Friday, and keeps patient records and policies.
DC Health can inspect at any time, without notice. Be polite, ask for identification, and call the Director at once.
If a surveyor asks for a record that is not in the office, we must produce it within 24 hours. Never change or hide a record.
Never warn anyone that an unannounced inspection is coming. That is against the law.
