INITIAL COMMENTS
 
This report is a result of an on-site licensure renewal inspection conducted on August 31 to September 1, 2026 by staff from the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, Bureau of Program Licensure. Based on the findings of the on-site inspection, Gaudenzia, Inc. was found not to be in compliance with the applicable chapters of 28 PA Code which pertain to the facility. The following deficiencies were identified during this inspection:
 
Plan of Correction

704.11(c)(1)  LICENSURE Mandatory Communicable Disease Training

704.11. Staff development program. (c) General training requirements. (1) Staff persons and volunteers shall receive a minimum of 6 hours of HIV/AIDS and at least 4 hours of tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases and other health related topics training using a Department approved curriculum. Counselors and counselor assistants shall complete the training within the first year of employment. All other staff shall complete the training within the first 2 years of employment.
Observations
Based on a review of personnel records, the facility failed to ensure staff received at least 6 hours of HIV/AIDS and 4 hours of TB/STD within the first two years of employment in one of one applicable records.

Staff #1 was hired at the facility August 5, 2019 and still employed at time of inspection. Communicable disease training was due no later than August 5, 2021. There was no documentation provided for the completion of the trainings as of the date of the inspection.

This finding was reviewed with facility staff during the licensing process.
 
Plan of Correction
All training will be completed within the required timeframe.



The outstanding trainings for this individual will be completed as soon as they can be scheduled. This is anticipated to be no later than 12/31/26.



All staff members have an Individual Training Plan generated on their start date and then updated annually in January. This is reviewed with the staff member and signed to indicate that they understand the training requirements.



The Gaudenzia Compliance Department will conduct a review of all POC action items within 90 days to ensure full implementation, identify any barriers to implementation, and coordinate support, where needed.
