“She said recipient rights is coming for an audit. What do I do to make sure I’m ready?” asked the anxious Adult Foster Care (AFC) Home operator. “How can I feel hopeful and relieved I’m ready for their arrival instead of concerned?”
Feeling prepared instead of anxious is possible with the right approach. Whether you run a Specialized Licensed Adult Foster Home Provider business or manage CMH contracted Residential Assisted Living Homes, ensuring compliance is key. Follow these steps to make sure your Adult Foster Care Community is ready for a Recipient Rights Audit:
Ensure all required posters are visible and up to date.
Maintain a clean and organized environment that reflects compliance with safety regulations and residents’ rights.
Verify that all staff in your Adult Foster Care Company have completed required training and are familiar with policies.
Conduct mock audits to ensure staff know procedures and can confidently answer questions.
Ensure residents in your Group Homes for Disabled Adults understand their rights and can express their experiences.
Encourage residents to openly share concerns with staff before an audit.
Keep records of completed training sessions, including documentation of attendance and content covered.
Regularly update training materials to stay compliant with changes in regulations.
Double-check that all incident reports, progress notes, and rights documents are properly stored and up to date.
Ensure required forms have current signatures from residents, guardians, and staff.
By following these steps, you can turn audit preparation into a seamless, stress-free process, ensuring that your Adult Foster Care Group Homes remain compliant and well-managed.
