STATE LICENSURE SURVEYS 
The ISDH conducts a state licensure survey at a licensed HOSPICE on initial
licensure and annually thereafter.  If a HOSPICE is accredited, the HOSPICE may
substitute the accreditation survey for the state licensure on-site
survey.  If deficiencies are cited on a survey, the HOSPICE will be requested
by the ISDH to complete a plan of correction on how and when they will correct
each deficiency and who will be responsible to ensure the corrections are made 
and will not reoccur in the future.  The plan of correction is submitted by the
HOSPICE and reviewed for acceptance by the ISDH.
   
The following is a summary of the three most recent state licensure surveys.
Accreditation surveys are not included in the table below.  To see a list of the 
deficiencies cited on the state licensure survey, click on the survey date.  Note
that if there were no deficiencies cited on the survey, you will not be able to

SUBSTANTIATED COMPLAINTS 
Any person may file a complaint with the ISDH about a HOSPICE.  The ISDH 
investigates all complaints.  If in the course of the investigation a violation of 
state or federal rules or regulations is found by surveyors, the complaint is said 
'to be substantiated with findings.'  If the surveyor verifies the facts of the 
complaint but finds that no violation occurred of state rules or federal 
regulations, the complaint is said to be 'substantiated without findings.'  If 
deficiencies are cited on a complaint survey, the HOSPICE may be requested by the
ISDH to complete a plan of correction on how and when they will correct each 
deficiency and who will be responsible to ensure the corrections are made and will 
not reoccur in the future.  The plan of correction is generally submitted by the 
HOSPICE and reviewed by the ISDH within fifteen (15) days of the survey.
   
The following is a summary of the number of substantiated complaint 
investigations for the past three years.  This only indicates whether the complaint 
was substantiated and does not indicate whether the HOSPICE was found in 
compliance with state rules or federal regulations.
