Have you ever had anxiety or spent a sleepless night before an AFC Home Licensing or community of mental health audit?

Maybe your audits are always successful, but you have constant frustration and waste tons of time trying to get everything organized before the auditors show up.

At Care Provider Solutions we understand your burden. Here are 3 simple steps to prevent documents from expiring, prevent the blame game between staff and reduce frustration before an audit – and avoid citations!

3 Simple Steps for any AFC Audit

Organize:

Create three master binders for staff to follow in each of these categories:

Staff Binder: Create tabs to easily arrange employee information the auditor needs to see for your Assisted Living Facility.
Home Binder: Create a binder that shows information addressing areas of compliance in your Adult Foster Care Community and Property such as fire drills, the resident register, refrigerator checks, furnace checks, and so on.
Resident Binder: Create tabs to easily arrange resident information the auditor needs to see for each of your Adult Residential Homes if you have more than one.

Track:

Create a system to follow. If you are an Adult Foster Care Provider, you need a system! Whether paper, electronic, or software is used, pick a method that works for your organization. Senior Care, Group Homes for Disabled Adults, Memory care – all Residential Care Facilities Management teams need a system to follow to simplify opperations!
Train staff on how to use the system.
Hold staff accountable through their job mission statement, KRA, to easily record daily, weekly, monthly, and annual requirements to prevent documents from expiring. As a Provider, you are required to keep many documents up-to-date. Don’t rely on memory alone! Let us help you with our simple systems!

Prepare:

Each organization posts the checksheets used for inspections on its website. Print the inspection sheets for Licensing and contracted Community of Mental Health organizations. Check to make sure each requirement is met by your team of caregivers and administrators before the auditor shows up.
