We have been getting a lot of questions on the new "KIT" Inspections process by the LPA's.
"KIT" stands for "KICKED in the TUSH"!
Just kidding, it stands for Key Indicator Tools. The Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) is continuing to test the Key Indicator Tools (KIT) that have been developed for use during inspections to facilities and homes to check for compliance with licensing standards. This test will be used to further refine the KIT inspection protocol and develop additional tools for all facility types. All inspections are still subject to all laws and regulations regardless of the type of inspection. For example, if during a KIT inspection, CCLD observes a violation that is not listed on the KIT, CCLD will still address that violation.
