Observations
The facility failed to document the qualifications for the position of project director based on a review of personnel records during the annual licensing inspection conducted on August 9 - 10, 2017.
Employee # 1 became the project director on October 26, 2016. No educational/experiential qualifications were documented for the project director.
The findings were reviewed with facility staff during the licensing process.

Plan of Correction
The Facility Director will submit the Project Director's qualifications to the Department to review by 10/31/17. The Governing Body will ensure that any employee selected for the position of Project Director will meet the educational/experiential qualifications for the position. |
