I agree with Austin and Judy. We are already creating the corrective plans and documenting them. We too have submitted our plans to State, typically without
them asking… because they always ask….more pointless legislation to ‘require’ us to do something that we are already doing.
Cheers,
Bekki

Subject: Question for you
Kevin,
We are working on an amendment to our aging bill (the language is attached), and we are looking at ways of addressing enforcement actions for nursing
homes, home care providers, and other long-term care providers. We are looking at requiring corrective action plans to be submitted to the state and allowing immediate enforcement actions from OHFC in the most serious cases.
I've been told that home care providers already document corrective action plans internally but requiring submission to the state would be a new requirement
for them. Would the home care providers be comfortable with this change?
As for the immediate enforcement, my current plan is to have OHFC report to the Legislature with recommendations of what should constitute a "serious
violation of state law." Apparently, CMS already does mandate some immediate remedies for nursing homes, but again I'd expect that wouldn't apply to home care providers.
Let me know if you have concerns about either of these changes. I'd be happy to sit down with you for a bit after Aging subcommittee to discuss. Thanks!
