How do you evaluate Licensing rules for each home every two years?

• A. You may either perform a rule-by-rule evaluation of the home once every two years; or evaluate different parts of the rules at different times during the two-year period
• B. You must perform a full external audit every year
• C. You should wait for complaints before evaluating
• D. You never evaluate

Answer: (A)

Evaluating licensing rules on a two-year cycle means you plan checks so every home is reviewed within that window, with flexibility in how you schedule the work. The best approach is to perform a rule-by-rule evaluation of the home once every two years, or you can break the rules into parts and assess different sections at different times during the two-year period. This ensures all requirements are covered within the mandated cycle and allows you to spread the workload, addressing findings as they arise without needing a separate annual external audit. It’s proactive oversight that prevents issues from going unnoticed. Waiting for complaints or never evaluating misses this proactive duty, and doing a full external audit every year is more than what’s required and can be unnecessarily burdensome.
