| 2025-10-21 | Unannounced Monitoring | 20.71(a)(7) - Fraud or deceit in obtaining or attempting to obtain a certificate of compliance | Needs Verification |
|
Regulation: 20.71(a)(7) Description: Fraud or deceit in obtaining or attempting to obtain a certificate of compliance Noncompliance Area: Over the course of two complaint investigations, the following fraudulent activity was verified: During an allocated unannounced inspection conducted on 10.1.25, Staff Person #1 was directed by Staff Person #6, a person in a management position, to identify themselves to the Certification Representative as Staff Person #3. It was subsequently verified that Staff Person #3 was no longer employed at the facility on 10.1.25. Also, during the allocated unannounced inspection, Cert Rep requested files for all staff who had been hired since 3.6.25 and the facility neglected to present a file for Staff Person #1. During the inspection on 10.21.25, the file for Staff Person #1 was reviewed. When questioned, Staff Person #6 reported the start date for Staff Person #1 as 9.2.25. However, Cert Rep obtained contradictory evidence that Staff #1 became employed in May 2025. Furthermore, although a pediatric first-aid/ CPR completion certification card was on file for Staff #4, it was later determined that Staff Person #4 was not present for the scheduled training on 2.25.25 and had not completed in-Person Pediatric First Aid and CPR training. It was later learned that Staff Person #5 had been directed by Staff Person #7, a person in a management position, to complete In-Person Pediatric First Aid and CPR training as proxy for Staff Person #4. Therefore, the First Aid and CPR card on file for Staff Person #4 was deemed to be fraudulent. Correction Required: The Department may deny, refuse to renew or revoke a certificate of compliance for fraud or deceit in obtaining or attempting to obtain a certificate of compliance. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The following actions were implemented immediately to address the cited violations and to uphold ethical practices.
