749.635(2) - AP CPA administrator responsibilities- Ensure that the operation complies with current heightened monitoring plans.
During a review conducted on April 6, 2026, 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 demonstrate 6 months of successive compliance with the standard and contract requirements that led to heightened monitoring. |

Over the course of the investigation, it was found that caregivers failed to supervise children in a manner that allow for intervention when necessary to protect children from harm. A FACN report concluded that the injuries were not self-inflicted but were unable to say what the cause of injuries could be. The report concluded that most of these did not appear self-inflicted. During an interview with the current foster parent, she acknowledged that all three children had some aggressive behaviors initially but reported that aggressive behaviors had slowed down. Current foster parent claimed children would hit, push, and bite others. RCCI found a concern with supervision not being followed as outlined within the children's service plan. |
