State Licensure Surveys
The ISDH conducts a state licensure survey at each licensed residential facility
approximately once per year. If state findings are cited on a survey, the
residential facility may be requested by the ISDH to complete a plan of
correction on how and when they will correct each state finding 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 residential facility and
reviewed by the ISDH within fifteen (15) days of the survey.
To read an overview of the survey process, click hereNOTE:
The residential consumer report survey information begins with surveys that
have been completed on or after December 1, 2008. Any survey performed prior
to that date will not have any information in the state findings count rows or
columns or will show zero.
