Daily tasks include verifying medication logs are current, reviewing any overnight incident reports, confirming staffing levels meet ratio requirements, checking in with caregivers about resident status changes, and ensuring any new physician orders are implemented.
Required binders typically include: personnel files for all staff, resident charts, medication authorization records (MARs), incident reports, controlled substance logs, fire drill records, in-service training logs, and trust account records for residents. The checklist covers the required contents and access rules for each.
Key annual deadlines include: annual license renewal application and fee, administrator certificate renewal (if applicable), annual mandatory reporter training for all staff, annual fire safety inspection, TB testing for eligible staff, and the CDSS 300A OSHA summary posting.
The 7-15 bed version includes additional staffing ratio requirements, expanded medication management obligations, additional binder contents required for larger facilities, and different fire safety inspection frequency requirements. The correct version is delivered based on your facility size.
Start with the annual checklist to understand all CDSS obligations in your first 90 days. Then work the monthly checklist to establish recurring habits. Use the daily checklist for your first 6 months until compliance tasks become routine, then refer to it as needed for audit preparation.
