Assessments are conducted to determine the following:

• Compliance with state and federal rules, regulations and policies;

• Compliance with the terms of the contract and any attachments;

• If service provision meets or exceeds service standards and/or contract requirements, as applicable; and

• Factors that may have contributed to the achievement or lack of achievement in meeting service standards and/or contract requirements.

On-site assessments are conducted by Department staff a minimum of two times during the contract period. Department staff may conduct additional and/or more in-depth reviews based on specific circumstances and the needs of contract entities. Regional Aging Services staff may request assistance from Aging Services Division staff in conducting assessments/reviews.

 

An exit conference will be held at the conclusion of each on-site assessment/review to outline non-compliance issues. Contract entities must respond, in writing, to any non-compliance issues identified during the assessment process in the time frame set forth by Department staff.  Follow-up will be conducted to assure appropriate action has been taken to address each non-compliance issue.

 

Assessments/reviews and written responses to non-compliance issues are forwarded to Aging Services Division for review and, if necessary, implementation of remedies. Failure to rectify issues of non-compliance may result in non-payment, recapture of funds, or contract termination.
