This is an Alert Disclaimer: The information, paperwork, and assistance provided by NHS for MDH survey readiness are based on the guidelines and resources available on the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) website. Detailed information about survey requirements and preparation for assisted living facilities can be found on the MDH website. It is crucial to understand that NHS cannot guarantee a specific outcome for the survey. The ultimate responsibility for compliance with MDH guidelines rests with the providers themselves. Adherence to these guidelines is the primary assurance for a successful survey experience. NHS aims to provide support and guidance based on the available information, but the providers are ultimately responsible for meeting the necessary requirements and ensuring their compliance with MDH guidelines.

The emergency preparedness plan is a comprehensive strategy designed to ensure the safety and well-being of residents, staff, and visitors during emergencies or disasters. The plan outlines protocols, procedures, and resources necessary to effectively respond to several types of emergencies, such as natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes), fires, power outages, infectious disease outbreaks, or other unforeseen events.

Recognizing the paramount significance of implementing efficient infection control measures to ensure the welfare and safety of staff, residents, and guests, the NHS places great emphasis on a robust infection control plan.

The purpose of this plan is to ensure that residents receive the highest level of care and well-being. It is mandatory for all assisted living facilities to develop their own staffing plans in compliance with the MDH guidelines. Noble Health Services (NHS) can be a valuable asset in assisting assisted living facilities in the creation of an effective staffing plan.

Inspections and Permits: MDH grants permit/licenses to Assisted Living Facilities and carries out inspections of food establishments as part of routine surveys or investigations to verify adherence to food safety regulations.
